Then again, he always seems > to have a negative attitude towards his own work... For a very simple reason: In the case of Dr. Who, most of the time, it isn't his own work. Tom Baker had a lot of fun throwing Douglas Adams' scripts out into the center of the Space-Time continuum (the window of the BBC studios, actually), and rewriting it the way HE liked it. Therefore, you can assume that an episode like "City of Death" was 80% Tom Baker stuff. A. G. Percus (ARPA) percus@acf4 (NYU) percus.acf4 (UUCP) ...!ihnp4!cmcl2!acf4!percus Back again in net-land.
