It's Tom Baker's 70th birthday
The title says it all...today is Tom Baker's 70th Birthday.
Recently one of my colleagues bumped into him in a coffee shop near Bush House, and managed to strike up a conversation. When Tom found out where my friend worked, he exhorted in that booming voice of his:
"The BBC? huh! Death Row!".
Honestly, they should have a camera crew on him 24/7 to preserve him for the nation. If you've never read his autobiography - "Who On Earth Is Tom Baker?" - you should, you wouldn't be let down.
