Thomas Stewart Baker (born 20 January, 1934) '''is''' ''[[Doctor Who]]''. An old story goes that if you don't know what Tom Baker looks like, all you need to do is close your eyes and think of the Doctor... and that's him. Curly hair, floppy hat, long multi-coloured scarf and toothy grin. Instantly recognisable. Even today, over thirty years since leaving the role, he's generally accepted as being the most well known of any of the eleven actors to have played it to date and has only now been surpassed in popularity by [[David Tennant]]; even newer and/or younger Who-fen, for whom Tennant is their iconic Doctor, list Baker as ''the'' Classic Doctor. Certainly he was the longest serving (seven years in total), so he is embedded in the public consciousness better than most of the others.
