Maybe his writers, but I know that Jon Pertwee did NOT like to have too much sci-fi in it. He preferred the scenes with loads of gadgets and machines that do strange things: his favorite act was probably when he rode a motorcycle in "The Daemons," and jumped of it while it was speeding (a stunt man did not do this -- Pertwee did it himself). But I think you'll see much of Tom Baker's irrationality in Colin Baker (from the one story I've seen -- Attack of the Cybermen). I agree that, among the first five doctors, the personality is very unique to Tom Baker. A. G. Percus (ARPA) percus@acf4 (NYU) percus.acf4 (UUCP) ...!ihnp4!cmcl2!acf4!percus
