TRIAL
OF A TIME LORD: Later Baker stories often degenerated into
sub-Python silliness (not that that's necessarily a bad thing) due
in part to Mary Whitehouse's public campaign to reduce the horrific
elements of the show, but mainly because Douglas "HITCH-HIKERS"
Adams had a major hand in the scripts. New titles and arrangement
of theme revamped the show for the '80s, pre-Davison. Now rediscovered
by whole new generation of junior viewers, courtesy of daily repeats
on UK Gold, Tom Baker's time on the series was hugely inclusive
for kids "of all ages". But a quick flick through his
autobiography ("Who On Earth Is...") reveals a bit too
much about the cuddly Doctor's off-screen boozing and shagging than
perhaps we wanted to know.
