I watched that strange interview that Tom Baker did with Frank Bough on an old 70s edition of Nationwide the other day. He obviously was in a bit of mood.
The peculiar shots of Tom used in the run-up to the feature suggest a man completely befuddled by the situation and his terse answers to Bough's 'Sunday colour magazine' questioning cement his reputation as someone who doesn't suffer fools.
It's a strange beast to be sure. And one that begs the question what happened off-screen to lead Tom to be so off hand and flippant.
We will probably never know...

It may come as a shock to you but I love old TV annuals!
No doubt the subtle clues from previous posts on the subject have gone over your heads and the admission comes out of the blue to you.
I have a neat little collection of them stretching from a mint-fresh copy of the very first Doctor Who annual from 1965 (apparently written by the show's original script-editor, David Whitaker!) to a Dick Barton Special Agent annual (based on the late 70s TV series and illustrated in muted 50s hues by V for Vendetta's David Lloyd).
A year or so ago, when I first started fiddling around in Photoshop, I put together a few annuals that I wished were available back in their hey-day when I was the age of their target market.
This is a selection of them which I hope you appreciate.
