I still think Baker is among the best Doctors. Just the right amount of cheek.

My kids and I (they’re nearly 8) recently started watching both the new Dr. Who, and old Tom Baker episodes I get from Netflix. They like the new guy (I actually think he’s great — a real throwback to the irascible Doctor days of Baker and Pertwee) but they LOVE Tom Baker. They LOVE the cheesy SFX. There was one episode we watched where the monster was made of bubble wrap. Bubble wrap!!! My kids were still scared to death, in the most pleasurable way. They both got replica sonic screwdrivers for Christmas and were delighted! LOL!
I agree. Tom Baker just had that something extra over all the other Doctors.
Awesome.
You might want to point out to them some time that the doctor's suits are special too. It's pockets are also bigger on the inside. grin.
