* This especially fits [[Tom Baker]], who hams it up to almost [[Brian Blessed]] levels both in the show and off it. Apparently there's a gene in any person with the surname Baker that transforms them into concentrated ham when in the presence of a TARDIS. |

* Davros' creations, the Daleks, are a grocer's worth of canned ham. The fact that [[No Indoor Voice|they almost perpetually scream all their lines]] certainly helps. |

* To go a little more old school, Professor Zaroff in the Second Doctor story "The Underwater Menace" is a GLORIOUS bit of ham all the way through, his most magnificent bit of ham being the cliffhanger of part three: "[[Nothing Can Stop Us Now|NOSSING IN ZE VORLD CAN SHTOP ME NOW!]]" |

* Not to mention the antics of Graham Crowden as Soldeed in ''The Horns of Nimon'', particularly his death scene, complete with manic cackling, staring eyes, "Lord Nimon? Lord Nimon? It is I, Soldeed!" and "You Fools! Fools!! You will die for your interference!!!" |

* In ''The Daleks' Master Plan'', Kevin Stoney is both nuanced and over-the-top at the same time, playing the traitorous "I, MAVIC Chen, GUARdian of the Solar System!" |

* The Captain of ''The Pirate Planet'' was the biggest ham imaginable (and clearly intentional, with Douglas Adams writing the script), often loudly exclaiming such things as "BY THE BURSTING SUNS OF BANTAR!" and "NO, BY THE WINGS OF THE SKY DEMON - I SAY NOOO!", but it turned out to be a case of [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] -- he was actually an engineering genius and trying to hide it. |
