Tom's as fascinating as ever, from offering his own audiobook concept (an intriguing idea) to praising various elements of The Hornet's Nest.
When it comes to the new audio drama, Baker feels that the script feels authentically Doctor Who to him. “I mean there are still bits in this that could easily be spoken by Jon Pertwee,” he laughs. “This guy, this writer, is quite poetic in some ways, but it would be quite nice to influence him a little bit like I did in the old days, put in a few jokes. I’m obsessed with jokes. As I get older and nearer to death I become more and more obsessed with jokes.
Incidentally if you haven't been already (and there is no excuse!) get yourself over to http://www.tom-baker.co.uk/ for more fascinating insight into the Doctor Who star. The website features rare photos, video excerpts and even passages from his autobiography, Who on Earth is Tom Baker?
