Tom Baker, who of course played the Fourth Doctor, rightly takes the spotlight in this month’s Doctor Who Magazine, as he celebrates both his 92nd birthday, and his being awarded an MBE for his services to television!
DWM catches up with his family, friends, and dignitaries on the day he was awarded the honour.
And of course, happy birthday to Tom, who turned 92 yesterday (20th January). I’m not normally one for birthdays, but I share mine with Tom, which is just about the coolest birthday-related boast-worthy anecdote I know of!
