The Doctor stood, with two wires in each hand which would finish the Daleks – before they begun : Caught between the Kaled/Thal civil war, the doctor found a moment wiring up the Dalek embryo-chamber with explosives. Here, the Doctor met their creator – brilliantly mad scientist Davros. Without the Tardis, to prevent the creation of the Daleks, on their home world of Skaro. Genesis Of The Daleks, had the Doctor cast back-in-time by the Time Lords. Occasionally, he would be brilliantly spontaneous, like when he gave his glowing reference to the human condition as he paced the human deep-freeze cryo-unit – “indomitable”. This is where Baker came into his own, orchestrating the human resistance in his broody and sometimes arrogant, pushy manner. The adult versions were little better, hunting for new human hosts – to feed on or impregnate. Beginning as huge slimy green larvae, a touch from one would cause a human mutation. The Wirrn were horrific predatory and wasp-like. This excellent story, set the tone for the Baker/Hinchcliffe reign – and was truly ahead of its time. The Ark In Space – 1975, featured the space-station Nerva with the trio discovering the human-race in the deep freeze, being attacked by the Alien Insectoid ‘Wirrn’. The truo went off on a number of adventures, in one whole season, all interlinked – by the same story-arc. The Doctor picked up lovable English UNIT buffoon Dr Harry Sullivan (who nicely complemented Sarah-Jane and the Doctor). Hinchcliffe brought a new sense of scope, characterisation and – a good dose of Victorian horror – to his tenure. The first Baker season 12, took-off in new ways, thanks largely to Baker and ,visionary producer Phillip Hinchcliffe. This is where the similarities with Pertwee ended, though. Trying, to out-manoeuver a homicidal robot, on the rampage. John Nathan Turner’s (JNT’s) era – 1980’s progressive, pastely colours and concept stories.īaker’s first jaunt was a very Pertwee earth-based adventure Robot – 1974 which involved the newly regenerated Doctor – and UNIT.
Graeme Williams era – more lighthearted, silly but still good Sci-fi staple. Phillip Hinchcliffe’s era – was dramatic, dsrk, violent and gothic horror inspired. His era’s can be split into 3 very distinct phases also linked to the producer of the time. Usually, the role would be filled for no more than 3-4 years, at a time due to a punishing schedule and a fear of typecasting.īaker worked under three different producers, for nearly a decade.
He is currently still, the longest serving – at 7 years in the role. To many people, Tom Baker came to be the embodiment of the Doctor never to be bettered. Then Baker was her – younger and hip dad. If Pertwee had been Smith’s – elderly judgmental father figure. The two had a great rapport and chemistry. The Fourth Doctor’s first companion was Sarah Jane Smith. The Fourth Doctor, would often break the tension by offering a captor – a jelly baby in the middle of a life-threatening situation. The Fourth Doctor’s trademark – was a ridiculously long scarf (knitted by Marie-Antoinette), a tall hat and a never-ending supply of jelly babies. Amply backed-up with his booming and commanding voice. He could castigate his opponents and supporters with an icy cold stare. Baker’s Doctor – was quick witted and had a cheeky almost childlike playfulness – even with his enemies.
