Baker did not wish to be associated with the Five Doctors Episode.  He
said he had had a lot of fun working on the show, but that it had, after
all the time he had spent on it, become repetitious.  I think I heard
he did not wish to "share" his role with the other Four Doctors.

The bits of film came from "Shada," a Douglas Adams episode that was
never completed because of a BBC strike.  So, they just had him stuck
in a time limbo.

				Bye.
