all us schoolkid fans got to see/meet him at least once
No, we didn't (sniff). This huge Tom Baker fan was aware of him appearing at a shopping centre a few suburbs away, but my parents were busy and unable to take me. I had buried the trauma of this event until now, but you've reminded me! Argh!
Although my dad did bring home a Tom Baker Prime Computer poster from work in 1980. It was prominently displayed in my room for many years, even after my brother accidentally ripped it while waving his belt around. At the time I would almost have rather the belt buckle had hit me instead.
I was absolutely delighted when he married Lalla Ward. Later I couldn't understand why they spilt up. Much later still I learned what an unhealthy relationship it was, although I still can't understand why Lalla had to marry Richard Dawkins.
Er, yes, anyway, enough of my Tom Baker obsessions...
