I feel I must make comment.  "Dr Who in America" did seem to be, more
or less, "Tom Baker in America".  However, for many people in the US,
Tom is the ONLY DOCTOR they know (Unfortunate, isn't it?)!  Yes, there
are 6 other actors who are recogized as The Doctor by many people (Bill
Hartnell, Pat Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Peter D., Colin B., and also by
some Peter Cushing...although not by me...8-) ), but for the most part
Americans have only seen Tom.  How many years did WOR in NY (now Secaucus)
show seasons 12-15??

BTW, the documentary was mostly filmed in June, 1983...BEFORE the 20th
anniversary, BEFORE Davison and the latest set of Pertwee episodes were
available here, and BEFORE "The Five Doctors".  The interviews with Tom
were shown uncut at a convention I attended earlier this year.  The girl
asking the questions sounded nice enough, even when the planes were louder
than anything else....8-)
