We have newsreaders behaving like actors, lowering their voices if it's a sad story, as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader.
From Tom Baker
The Old Testament is my favourite science fantasy reading.
I don't watch television. I know better than that.
I wasn't interested in novelty. I was looking for good drama.
Lis Sladen was very important to me, you know. When I joined the little world of 'Doctor Who', Lis was already a star.
One longs to be funny, to make people laugh. Laughter is such a sign of approval, isn't it?
Well, I think people don't recognise my face because I'm so much older now, but it is astonishing that people can recognise a voice. I do sometimes get recognised, and indeed a lot of people do come and see me.
My capacity as a monk was to passionately believe utter nonsense, and when you're an actor you have to do the same thing. Also, Christianity used to have a lot to do with self-loathing and an acceptance of criticism and things like that which is terribly important for actors.
The thing is I'm very interested in bad taste, as anyone who's ever seen me perform or had dinner with me would know.
I was never really happy until I became 'Doctor Who'.
