Bakers Who!?

The two former Baker actors to have played Doctor Who have recorded commentaries for forthcoming DVD releases.

Tom Baker (Dr Who number 4 from 1974-81) has recorded his first story 'Robot' along with Lis Sladen (who played Sarah-Jane Smith), Barry Letts (series Producer) and Terrance Dicks (story writer). As mentioned, 'Robot' was Tom's first story after taking over from Jon Pertwee in June 1974.

I remember 'Robot' very well being in the children's ward of the old Prince of Wales Hospital in Tottenham.

Colin Baker (Dr Who number 6 from 1984-86) has recorded 'Time Lash' along with Nicola Bryant (who played companion Peri Brown) and Paul Darrow (who played Tekker). Paul Darrow is more famous for playing Avon in all but one episode of Blake's Seven back in the late 1970s. The least said about 'Time Lash' the better I'm afraid.

'Robot' comes out on DVD on 28th May and 'Time Lash' in June. 'Survival', the last classic Dr Who serial is coming out on DVD on 16th April.
