< > « »BBC UKTV
Featuring: Tom Baker, Nicholas Briggs, Neil Gaiman, Louise Jameson, John Leeson, Steven Moffat, David Tennant, Marcus Wilson
Take an in-depth look at the fourth incarnation of the truly timeless Time Lord, who quickly made the part his own, and with his eccentric style of dress and speech -- particularly his trademark long scarf -- immediately became a recognizable figure. Playing the role for seven consecutive seasons over a seven-year period, he's the longest-serving actor in the part so far. With exclusive interviews with lead writer & executive producer STEVEN MOFFAT, producer MARCUS WILSON, companion LOUISE JAMESON and TOM BAKER himself! "I didn't play Doctor Who, I was Doctor Who."

Broadcast notes:
This slot was originally scheduled to show an episode of Doctor Who at 6:00-6:30pm - this would either have been Spearhead From Space: Episode 4 according to the EPG, or The Three Doctors: Episode Four according to the UKTV website, which listed "A gel-like plasma creature arrives on Earth & hunts down the Doctor, who calls on the Time Lords for help. They then send the Doctor's earlier selves to join him."
