TRIAL
OF A TIME LORD: Following Tom Baker, who after seven years of
boggling and quipping, was (and still is) "my Doctor"
to more viewers than any of his predecessors, was always going to
be a tough task for the pleasant, open-faced star of Sink Or Swim.
Truth be told TV Cream actually quite liked the Davison years, but
given they were largely filled by lots of people all talking in
the TARDIS a lot, it's understandable why many tuned out. It didn't
help that the show suddenly started drifting around in the weeknights
schedules after decades anchored to the Saturday post-Bough beefburger
and chips slot. Nobody reminisces about "eating my tea and
waiting through Sixty Minutes and hiding behind the sofa when the
Cloister Bell rang", do they?
