The Fourth Doctor constantly behaved like he was in creative mode while everyone else was just NPCs. He knew he was the smartest in the room at all times and he acted accordingly. He wasn't scared of threats and he was always one step ahead. And he gave zero f's how that made him look like to others.
I was always partial to "I say, what a wonderful butler! He's so violent!" and "You're a beautiful woman, probably." As much as I have enjoyed every Doctor, Tom really *is* the definitive article in my mind.
Also, when the Doctor scoffs and says, "If you cut out my tongue how can I tell you what you want to know?", as the alien turns away and scoffs, saying, "You can WRITE, can't you?"
My favorite was when the woman says, overly dramatically, "We call it THE PIT". The Doctor says, "You people have a way with words." Then he says that instead of trying to solve their problems, they put the alien in the pit and threw astrologers at him.
@@claudius3359nah his doctor was Peter Davison. I think he said so in the comic relief special, he’s also his son in law so there’s that but I’m pretty sure that’s common knowledge now
@@antoniopraide6855his Nan knitted a Tom baker scarf for him and his first episode was Jon Pertwee’s regeneration into Tom baker. He also mentions he’s around 3 or 4 at this time meaning he’s around 11 or 12 by the time of Tom Bakers regeneration into Davison. So I’d say your both right
Loved this guy's expressions. Wouldn't have thought it seeing old photos of him before Doctor Who, but in action he is just so expressive and I love it. :3
It was 18 feet long. The woman who knitted the scarf got the costumer's specs wrong, so the scarf came out much longer than intended, but the show needed it quickly so they just kept it. Fortunately, Tom Baker was 6'3" so he was able to make it work.
@@tiffanyspencer1082first is hilarious because weirdly enough, despite pkaying a crotchety old man, he still feels like one of the youngest doctors with how petulant he is. 1 just messes around. Beautiful

"Oh, look! Rocks!" caught me so off guard
Axe thrown at his head just misses.
"Are you trying to get my attention?"
The Talons of Weng Chiang
"You're a beautiful woman! (probably-)"
Good to see this isn't a new thing with the doctor being unable to understand how beauty/age works XD
I like to think that time lords are mostly face blind, because paying attention to people’s faces isn’t that useful to a species of face changers.
3:13 i love when his reactions are delayed and he js stands there and stares
"You never f***ing know when it's important!"
Is that from a blooper or something? 😂
Oh yeah, I've seen the clip now. Hilarious 😂
There’s Tom, then there’s all the others.
I'd argue there's also Tennant,but I heard he's also a Tom Baker fanboy

I love when Brian Croucher AKA Travis #2 smacks the jelly baby out of his hand at 2:09. It's just funny for some reason.
"Oh look, rocks!" :D
One of the best lines ever 😂

If anyone ever gets on my case about me being a 21 year old watching cartoons for kids, I'm going to refer them to this line.
Tom Baker quintessentially Doctor Who. Grew up with him like many others did. Fantastic.
A nice selection of quotes, in fact the one from City of Death about the Butler, is one of my favorites.
1:52 easily the funniest quote
“IT ISN’T SOUTH CROYDON!!!!”
“No need to shout!”
🙃
You've gotta love Tom Baker's wit 🤣
@@BillWhovian
Haha I know!
I read somewhere: “when Tom Baker smiles, the whole world smiles with him”.
100%

THE Doctor
He had so much quotes you could make a 50 minute video
Without Tom my dad won’t watch dr who and get me into it thank you tom
Same
" Is that finger loaded." IS THE ABSOLUTELY FUNNIEST SHIT HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE 🤣🤣
Baker totally redefined this role.
Perfected
Nice selection of clips.
Thanks!
You forgot "Can you help me? I'm a spy" from Genisis of the Daleks
You're a beautiful woman probably.
💙💙
HOW LONG WAS HIS SCARF ?
Yes
It was 18 feet long. The woman who knitted the scarf got the costumer's specs wrong, so the scarf came out much longer than intended, but the show needed it quickly so they just kept it. Fortunately, Tom Baker was 6'3" so he was able to make it work.
i honestly don’t get the love for him…he was frequently insulting to everyone. longevity doesn’t equal greatness, just a lot of screentime
Fair enough
Because people have different tastes than yours. Shocking I know.
its called "Taking the P*ss" , if the English aren't insulting/ribbing/joking with you - We Dont Like You
Tbh if you think he's being insulting, First and Third Doctors are worse 😂
