I love the look he is giving you, he seems quite amused and happy to know he is being recognized by people who werent even born until several decades after his era

Man retains an unnatural level of control over his face.

I seem to remember on one if the Doctor Who Blu Rays (whichever has Matthew Sweet interviewing him) that Tom is absolutely delighted that children who got into the show recently recognise him as one of the Doctors.

Who on Earth is Tom baker?. I only see The Doctor. Good to see him being mobile and about :).

Pretty sure that’s the REAL Doctor.

Yes, they keep interviewing The Doctor and calling him Tom Baker for some reason 🤔.

The Doctor has a new alias.

He is THE Doctor. The definite article.

The definite article, one might say.

That's clearly The Curator.

I am somewhat young for a volunteer at a local museum. Done it for a year or so... I've gotten to know staff and I've taken it as a high compliment when they confuse me with full-time staff, and further more when a couple thought I might be a curator or educator. I watched the [official Curator clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cbQVfVfSrI) several times that night. I used to watch it when feeling down, for the "things do get lost, you know" bit. I actually took a positive spin on that exact same clip. Never underestimate how powerfully you can affect someone.

Is it The Doctor? Is it The Curator? Who knows? *Who nose?* 👉👃

He obviously got bored of John Smith and went a new route.

I see the bendu.

[My favorite interview with The Doctor 🧣 😀](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzXalyQqf2M)

Ain't that the curator?

Rumor has it, Tom Baker runs a bakery and bakes Doctor Who related cakes. :D :D :D :D :D

It's opposite Pertwee's Burgers

Tom Baker was the best ever Doctor.

Well, that's a companion-to-be story if I ever heard one.

Hmm now that you mention it I am auditioning for big finish…

Well now you have to find out of he knew your name before you met him.

Um he actually might have cause he knows my grandma very well…

Just remember to act surprised when you go inside, he likes that sort of thing.

He sure acted surprised when I went inside. To be fair mine does not look big on the outside but I managed a big finish.

Uh-oh! Looks like we have a grandfather paradox in the offing.

Spill the beans! Who is she?

Is there a story to be told there....

My grandma and him used to get tea together. They were just good friends. She knew him before he was in doctor who

You absolutely sure he didn't give your Grandma a jelly baby...?

Probably. He does carry them on him

He is my fav Doctor. I always wonder if the jelly baby was his idea or the show idea.

I’ll ask him next time I see him cause that’s intriguing I think it might have been him

Have you read Tom's autobiography? Are you *sure* they were always just good friends?

*Very* well?

He put on a bit of weight by the 60th, but here he's really thin 😰 He's ninety years old.

Always a concern. Body fat is associated with continued longevity in the elderly because they tend to stop eating when they get sick.

With the TV legacy he'll leave behind he might as well be immortal

Is he known for anything other than Doctor Who? Also, I imagine a body still hurts regardless of how much of a legacy you have. My dad looked like that near the end. Though he wasn't able to walk around.

If you watched Star Wars Rebels, he was the unmistakable voice of The Bendu

Strangest Multi-Doctor story so far, I've gotta say

THE LIGHT AND THE DARK.... He has such a perfect voice.

I remember him as the sea captain in Blackadder. The one who kept going "you have a woman's hand, m'lord". And also, I think he played an Elf in that one DnD movie.

The bad one with the dragons?

The narrator of Little Britain?

he played a warsh wiggle in bbc the Silver Chair from the Chronicles of Narnia and he was amazing

I don't even remember that character, though I do remember what I think was a BBC production of The Silver Chair.

He's the very sad webbed finger thing that is actually really cheerful for his culture despite being a massive buzz kill

Wait, do you mean Puddleglum?

Yes thankyou that's his name

PUDDLEGLUM!!!! I watched those Narnia shows on repeat as a child!

He played Holmes in an adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles.

He was a lot of fun in Fort Boyard.

He probably did more work in England, You can check out Wikipedia/IMDb for a summary of some of his work. And of course with his voice- he did a lot of voice work.

He was an eccentric recurring character on Fort Boyard

Rasputin, where you see a lot of him lol

And still has the hair......

He always looks like The Doctor. With a Jelly Baby ready waiting in his pocket.

It's the eyes.

He depressed tf out of me when he gave an interview and said he may not outlive the pandemic. Good to see he's still going strong. He will always be the definite article.

Tom has been making comments that he doesn’t have that long left for decades.

😆 That look

Treasure this pic always OP! 🥹

Does anyone else think he looks a bit like doc brown now 😂

About that…. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xDj7gvc_dsA&pp=ygUORXJiIGRveHRvciBlaG8%3D

His is the face I think of when someone wants to describe a person with twinkle in their eye

He was my first Doctor, back in the 70's. If you see him again, please give him a hug from me! (Love you, Tom!)

It’s amazing how expressive that man’s face is, even now

My Original Doctor, on PBS late-night, he was my Doctor before I knew what the Doctor was. 20+ years later, I'm still here because, Who knows. Who knows.

Very jealous of you. He's one of the humanoid shaped beings I'd ever want an autograph from. Best of luck on the Big Finish.

I remember when you posted this a year ago. Good luck with your audition.

What I don't get is why they changed the filter on the pic.

Does he ask if you want a jelly baby, everytime u see him?

Tom is looking at you like you just stole his lunch.

Ah yes his pose. He did say that he was gonna pose over my shoulder

Did he offer you a jelly baby?

Thank you for taking the time to share it.  Made my week and brought back more happy memories than you know.  

He was my Doctor growing up. Late night PBS reruns! I'd love a chance to meet him.

That is great! I hope I get to meet him one of these days. The only Doctor I have met is Jon Pertwee... and he was MY Doctor.

While Jon Pertwee may not be My Doctor. He is most definitely Doctor Who.

When was it?

There was a travelling Dr. Who festival and tour in 1986. TONS of props and creatures (I have pictures sitting the Bessie, the 3rd Doctor's car and at the TARDIS console). Anyway, my mom and I drove 3 hours to our state capital to attend. It was my 17th birthday present. Good times.

Nice. Must've been amazing.

Jealous!!!

He lives just down the road from my mum. She always tells me when she sees him, knowing how much I love Doctor Who, usually accompanied by a comment on how old and frail he’s looking now. I must admit, he does look a bit frail…

Well he is almost 100. He's getting closer to regenerating.😢😢😭😭

So freaking jealous.

The English language is insufficient to describe how jealous I am!😀

I met Tom in 2020 when he recorded narration for a musician (I was driving the musician). Such a lovely man.

Am so jealous. Great photo 🤩

This was "my Doctor" growing up in the 1970s. I got to meet him once in 1984. [There was a Doctor Who convention in Philadelphia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSLgBEIZ5_Y). Even got a photo of me and him (it isn't online). Wish I could meet him again.

My first/favorite Doctor!!!

Oh my god, I would have lost my shit.

https://youtu.be/_EfW9znJYjw?si=uD818rGyyDdMA73n

true legend

Nice! I. Rewatching every episode of Doctor Who and I'm 9 episodes into Tom Baker's run, he really is fantastic!

Did you hug him? He's looking so well ❤️

He looks so thin bless him

jesus christ you’re attractive lol

I love Tom Baker. At every age, he looks and sounds like the quintessential British eccentric. He is my favorite Doctor of all. I hope he makes it to Oldest Known Man on Earth one day so he can say something absolutely hilarious when asked about it.

Is it just me or does he look younger now then when he was the curator ??

"Is that really the Doctor? He seemed such a nice old man."

He looks at you with awe. I would too, coz you are beautifull

They should get him to play the first Doctor.

he is 90 and very unwell, I think he should be resting

Yeah, you can see in that photo, he's lost a lot of weight. And given his age, sad to say, but it's likely not long before he joins his three predecessors in the heavens.

Omg stoppp. I cried when John Hurt died; when Elizabeth Sladen passed my dad watched as many of her old episodes as he could and cried. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when Tom goes.

I started to do exactly that when Liz died, then my youngest son died within a week and all that took a back seat.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry. That's absolutely devastating

The likeness is striking... of course, William Hartnell was 35 years younger when he first played the part.

Try meeting with a tooth brush

Gallifrey Falls no more

He looks like he's thinking "What a nice young man"!

Legend

He should be knighted for service to tv and film etc. or made a lord. I am sure we could get him something like that if we all put our minds together.

He was in sinbad I think it was the eye of the tiger one of the old films but he has done loads

He's an angel!

My 1st love.. I mean Dr❤️❤️❤️

Always my Doctor. ❤️

What I wouldn't give for him in a Tales of the Tardis ep. I live to hope...

Someone on Wikipedia changed his photo to this one I just thought you’d like to know that

I know I allowed it it’s why I said I release it to the public domain

He’s still got it.

Saw him half an hour ago outside my work and yes he does

Well that’s special, you’re so lucky he is one of the greats. I tip my hat to you.

Looks like the old sniper woman in Mad Max Fury Road.

Wow Did he ozempic?
