Tom Baker (born 20th January, 1934) is an English actor, best known as the fourth to take on the lead role in the British science fiction series Doctor Who, from 1974 to 1981 - the longest-serving actor in the role. His portrayal of 'the Doctor' was the first to draw public attention to him; after seven years on-screen, he remains strongly associated with the programme. Following Doctor Who, Baker took several more roles in television, with his best-known recent role being the narrator for the comedy series Little Britain. In 2009, he reprised his role as the Doctor for a series of BBC audio plays.
