As I said, it’s not so much that there was anything wrong with him, but that he replaced the Dr I knew and loved.[/quote]
I also think Baker was great (my second fave), but he replaced the Doctor I knew and loved (Pertwee). Interestingly, Cat’s fave, Davison, replaced Baker, but then Baker came back to replace Davison — so to me Davison was [i]the replacement[/i], and because Baker came back, it felt to me like Davison was also only [i]the temp[/i]. Baker was the only Doctor to return (the 4th and 6th Doctor: 1974-1980 and 1984-86).
Btw, I enjoyed Davison in [i]All Creatures Great and Small[/i] and did also respect his Doctor (if not his costume — the “?” on the lapels … Hmmm, wazzup with that? :wink:).
And did anyone see Baker in Black Adder 2: [i]Potato[/i] as Captain Redbeard Rum? — hilarious! Also of interest to geezers, Simon Jones who played Arthur Dent in [i]The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy[/i] was in the same episode playing Sir Walter “Oo what a big ship I’ve got” Raleigh.
BTW, about Dr. Who being obscure. I’m sure that it would be in some parts of the world (like in some of the colder and less accessible parts of Antarctica for instance 😉 ), but considering that Sad is English, it really surprises me greatly that it is listed as obscure here.
On a side note:
Speaking of obscure Brit. sci-fi shows, isn’t it about time that the very best of Brit. TV programmes, and a bona fide cult classic, was given its very own forum? I am of course speaking of none other than [i]Coronation Street[/i] … Kidding, I’m really thinking of [i]The Prisoner[/i]! Honestly, it would be remiss for any forum that is dedicated to cult sci-fi TV not to have it prominently listed. But then again, one might also argue for forums devoted to shows like [i]The Twilight Zone[/i], [i]The Outer Limits[/i], [i]Star Trek TOS[/i], [i]Space 1999[/i], [i]Lost in Space[/i], and [i]Blake’s Seven[/i] which are also real cult classics. I guess that’s what [i]General TV SciFi Stuff[/i] is for — we should all make more use of that forum.
