The Fourth Doctor
Ahh, The Fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker from 1974 to 1981, is probably the most iconic Time Lord. With an absurdly long scarf, equally characteristic hat and coat and a smile sometimes equipped with an apparent abundance of teeth, The Fourth Doctor is a fan favourite and we’re thrilled to be reviewing his serials now.
Two wildly different milestone stories, neither canonical, one rather pants, the other quite amazing. All right, here we go!
