Happy Birthday, Tom!

A Who legend among us, ageing like fine wine!

Such an honour to breathe the same air as you!

I know you’re lurking in the shadows, reading this so I’ll just say this:

Thank you, Tom!

Also I would like to say that I disagree passionately with your ranking because horns of nimon and destiny of the daleks do not deserve to be that far down, but I am not in the headspace to come up with my own ranking rn

I stand by what I said, and give them 1/10 and 3/10 respectively. But I’m not here to slag off any of Tom’s stuff on his birthday. So we’ll leave it as I like the 39 above them more.

I think one can tell how much I really like Hinchcliffe era Tom Baker serials compared to Graham Williams era Tom Baker serials. But Tom himself is always a delight, no matter what I may think of his three producers.

I believe Tom may outlive us all. If not physically, then in audio form. His work for BF will continue to be published years after the last forum member has passed.

When all of Tom Baker’s audios end, then one second of eternity will have passed.
