On January 20 2014, Tom Baker celebrated his 80th birthday.
Big Finish celebrated this milestone with Baker talking to Nicholas Briggs for Tom Baker at 80.
A fascinating interview in which the subject matter looks back on his life which included being friends with Joan Plowright, his experience with Laurence Olivier, playing Rasputin in Nicholas and Alexander and of course being Doctor Who.
Among the comments about Doctor Who he made included his view, which I concur, that Lis Sladen made a mistake of leaving Doctor Who at the time that she did because she mistakenly believed producer Philip Hinchcliffe wanted to recast the female companion, addressing the misperception that he and Louise Jameson did not get along well and whom he has worked with again as their Doctor Who characters for Big Finish and his cameo in The Day of the Doctor.
Tom Baker at 80 is absolutely superb as his recounting of his life experiences is very enthralling.
