THE FOURTH DOCTOR AT FIFTY: THE 'BOHEMIAN' INCARNATION REVEALED...

Tom Baker in his predecessor Doctor's vintage roadster, Bessie, alongside new friend Elisabeth Sladen.

Easing his way into the series with a solid Earth-based UNIT adventure battling the magnificent but dangerous Giant Robot, the relatively little-known Tom Baker would make an instant impact in his new role as the fourth Doctor Who, alongside the ever-winning personality of Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, of which both actors entered a fine and soon very special on screen rapport that would delight viewers from 28th December, 1974.

Welcome to Doctor Who, Tom Baker, as seen in these great publicity images taken on location at the BBC's Wood Norton Engineering Training Department, wonderfully showcasing the quirky new time traveller in all his potential glory.






One of the images from the photo shoot would make the notable cover for Baker's first Who annual, for 1976.
