Tom Baker (Doctor Who 4)
There was a clear desire in the characterisation of the Fourth Doctor that this incarnation of the Time Lord should emphasise his alienness, the fact that -- despite all outward appearances -- he is most definitely not human. In stark contrast to the elegant, refined figure of his third incarnation, the Fourth Doctor was an unkempt, awkward-looking figure, dressed in battered clothing and an impossibly long multi-coloured scarf. This Doctor delighted in keeping both friends and foes alike off guard with oddball humour and curious pranks; like the Second Doctor, he often played the fool to lull his opponents into underestimating him. But he was also a very intense, brooding individual, at times displaying a seriousness and fury belying his usually whimsical attitude.
Tom Baker played the Doctor from Robot in December 1974 to Logopolis in March 1981. He returned for Dimensions In Time in November 1993.
