Tom Baker celebrates his 80th birthday today and the BBC have released a short video in which the actor discusses playing the Doctor and his return to the show in the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor.
In it, he says:
It’s 30-odd years since I finished with it but I still get recognised. Everybody in the village calls me “Doctor” and people on building sites still shout “‘Ello Doctor!” which amuses me no end!
A slightly longer audio version of the interview is available on BBC Worldwide’s doctorwho.tv website.
