| The classic first season posed publicity shoot for Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, taken by Alan Ballard, circa January 1975. |
"We had this picture in our minds of a self portrait by the French artist Toulose Lautrec showing his bohemian figure standing beneath a wide brimmed hat. We all agreed the Doctor should have the image of a French painter: an intellectual, nomadic figure who doesn't care too much for the neatness of his appearance. The idea was taken along to costume designer Jim Acheson who eventually come up with the loose fitting trousers, hacking jacket and waist-coat, plus of course, the felt hat."

"I think that (the scarf) was Tom's own idea. He went along to the dressing session one afternoon to try on Jim's suggested outfit and the scarf was one of items present there courtesy of the Costumes Department."
