when i started watching this at first he sounded quite full of himself but then he spoke of how his fans view him. he is not full of himself but aware of his social status and he respects his fans for who they are to him. he is a down to earth actor who doesn't abuse his fame but isn't afraid to talk about how he knows how his fans think of him.
Interesting, but I at first I couldn't tell when Baker was joking, British humor being so dry. I had some reservations when he spoke of becoming a god, but then when he stated what he'd like his epitaph to read and made fun of 'telly fame', I relaxed a bit and realized this is a highly intelligent man with a devious sense of humor. ;)
William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, and Matt Smith are all No. 1. THERE IS NO NUMBER 2 DOCTOR!
hes not full of himself atall , i work for waitrose , he comes in shopping almost everyday , he drives a normal car , polite to every member of staff and never bigs himself up.
...To a man's heart is through his stomach; to his prostate there's one of 2 options-both of which are unpleasant. It's better to avoid such meanderings as they engender terror. Let us enjoin two halves to make us whole; 4 quarters to gain eminence; a dozen twelves to gross abundance.
My trip to England, many moons back on a crowded plane, required me to sit on the lap of a fat woman. Upon arrival I noted that there was 200 extra dollars in my pocket.
I respect Tom Baker soooo much for being such an Icon to atheists everywhere! I am an atheist today because of Tom Baker's own views on the myth of god, he's a true hero of mine!! My only wish was that he could have been around long enough to help usher in the new godless utopia descending upon our parasitic population, the end of fictitious religious and mythical belief systems which do our species no good at all. RIP Tom Baker! RIP Sarah Jane Smith! We will miss you both for all eternity!!
As I await my due among the Vietnamese, and imagine big things as small ones, I do what John McCain had dared not do: dislocate 2 shoulders a la Harry Houdini, whose name I shan't blacken my presentation with again. Where tulips sprout to a sickening strife, & I fester unbalanced, I set my goal as the New World Order's useful idiot, A.D. 2011.
'They tremble a lot, the way one does with a God'. That had me in stitches. I love Tom Baker so much.
My favourite Doctor. Such a lovely man. Thoughtful, irreverent, and funny.
Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker are tied in my mind for favorite Doctor.
5:26 got a good chuckle out of me
While he is already my 9 year old's favorite Doctor after this interview he's one of mine as well. So funny and insightful. Thanks for posting

Thanks for this, how very clever and funny he is, I was laughing within seconds, can't wait to see the rest!
Tom Baker, is the best doctor ever!!
Apart from Patrick Troughton...and William Hartnell. Oh, and Jon Pertwee too! :-)
Wonderfully entertaining ... I adore Tom .
The laugh from the presenter at 2:09 shows you that Tom's having a laugh, not-at-all 'full of himself'. As another comment says, it's British humour.
I love the way he flirts with words. :)
oh my god, the man can say whatever the hell he wants! what'a guy!
his voice hasn't changed at all!! it is awesome
Brilliant, brilliant, bbrilliant. Thanks for posting!
thanks for the upload. Charming and funny and witty all rolled in one.

Tom Baker.
An incredibly intelligent, telented and charismatic man.
And just a tad eccentric (aka completely barking) :)
And we love him for it. :)
Legend.
xD he's so funny. haha god, i love you tom
Legend!
I couldn't agree more, so glad you came to that conclusion as a few people don't get him at all. You're very astute :-)
5:26 - 6:14, oh Tom😅

Tom Baker will always be (to me) the one and only Doctor Who.
he had to take orders and then he became a Time Lord xD
hes not full of himself atall , i work for waitrose , he comes in shopping almost everyday , he drives a normal car , polite to every member of staff and never bigs himself up.
tom baker is fab very interesting man
Tom Baker may be full of himself, however he's very humble about being so.
Thanks
That's cool, working in a place Tom Baker goes to shop in.
Tom is a very humble man and far from "full of himself". Your judgement couldn't be further from the truth.
As an American I wouldn't say I worship him, But close!

Tom Baker is no. 1. Matt Smith is no. 2.!
Tom Baker no1!!
Kind of hard to detect for the non-Brits.
Nevertheless, his warmth in his tone of voice does sort of betray it..
If that happens I may just die myself. I HAVE to meet him!! He's MY Doctor. But of course I live in stupid America...
Brrrritain, brrritain, brrritain..

@feckingbillgates couldn't agree more
Can't be that 'in confidence', it's on youtube.

toommm what did you do to yourselve?
Tom hasn't really changed much in the face now he's older. If he lost weight he'd look virtually the same.as he did in the 1970s.
'you have to work for people you dispise'.... to pinch an American phrase 'True dat'.
@michaelleacy That's not very realistic considering I'm an immortal vampire.

What?! He doesn't arrive in the Tardis?! It'd save pounds and pounds on unleaded..
Is he SERIOUS!?!?
man, he is full of himself, I thought he would be humble, he use to be my favorite doctor ,but hearing him talk has really turned me off him
