The Tom Baker Years (2 tape set)
The enigmatic Tom Baker hosts an irreverent retrospective of his years as The Doctor. Includes scenes from every story,
from Robot to Logopolis, with behind-the-scenes commentary and anecdotes about his fellow cast and crewmembers.
What makes this especially interesting is the fact that Baker rarely watched the show, so we get to see his

Doctor Who Movies starring Peter Cushing
![](dwimages/dwmv1.jpg) |
Dr. Who and the Daleks
Peter Cushing plays The Doctor in this 1965 theatrical release. Based on the second Doctor Who
adventure, The Daleks, the TARDIS lands on the planet Skaro, which has been ravaged by a nuclear
war. While investigating a strange futuristic city, the travellers run into the Daleks, evil creatures who
exist in robotic mechanisms and have lost all "human" traits. In the movies, The Doctor is portrayed as an
eccentric inventor who built a time machine, rather than a Time Lord, and Barbara is now The Doctor's other
grandchild. The sets and costumes have a "mod"-60s look, and these movies were the first time Doctor Who
was presented in color, until the TV episodes of the early 70s.

Dr. Who: Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD
The second Doctor Who feature film is based on the William Hartnell adventure The Dalek Invasion of Earth,
where The Doctor and his companions arrive on Earth in 2150 AD to discover The Daleks have enslaved all of humanity.
The Doctor meets a guerilla band of rebels who are fighting to free humanity and save the Earth. A bigger budget and
impressive special effects (for 1960s standards) help to translate this epic tale to the big screen. An essential
movie for any Doctor Who fan.
