Delighted you are of a vesta generation too.
It seems to be just me and Monty with the Joey Deacon comments these days.

I'll be 40 in less than a month's time.
I remember the Bay City Rollers and Jon Pertwee as Doctor Who without the benefit of DVD...

I'm 36 and remember Tom Baker more than anything
I also recall being shit-scared of a Dr Who film (featuring Roy Castle). Dead scarey when I was a boy.

Who is your favourite Doctor, and why? (rather than who!)

Tom.
He was the one I really grew up with, although I like them all. Matt Smith is my favourite of the new bunch, he's more old school.

And of the old-school?

Again, Tom Baker.
Mad as a box of frogs, and his autobiography is one of the funniest things ever written.

I'm also one of the few who thinks that Colin Baker was given a bum deal.

Oddly, I recently read Tom's autobiography.
The life of a monk is somewhat strange.

Indeed.
I must read it again. I remember pissing myself laughing at the bit where his loathsome father in law who hated him wanted him to wipe his arse when he was dying because Tom had been an army medic or something.

Quite correct.
It was also interesting to read about how going into the church was quite a normal career path.

You've convinced me.
I'm going to get the book out and read it again. Somebody knight Tom, please?

His meeting with his son in Australia was quite something as well.
He does deserve some sort of honour, not least for his voice.

I agree.
Practically out of work for 20 years until the kids who grew up watching him in the 70's got jobs in television, too.

I like the fact he invaded a family to watch Doctor Who
And had to send a letter to the kid who wasn't believed at school that Doctor Who watched the telly with him!
