But on occasion he's not quite TMWMITU when in the most recent example of him legitimately fucking up in "The Girl Who Waited", he rushed his TARDIS to that holiday planet without doing any basic research, killing his friendship with Amy and Rory in the process. And in a much older story the 4th Doctor quite coldly murdered a mad scientist with his own chemicals in "The Brain of Morbius". He's essentially a good protagonist but he can be unpredictable and don't push him into a corner...Uraniun235 wrote: Based on my own anecdotal perspective of friends who follow the show, making him TMWMITU does seem to have paid off in terms of viewer devotion. I read about how Mr. Spock had a following in the 60s and I kind of get the same vibe from the people who squee out over The Doctor.
However the series must be still doing something right when in the US NuWho is the most downloaded TV series on I-Tunes (ahead of all the other hit US shows, including Dexter).
Anyway I would've thought Tom Baker could provide his voice for the Hand of Omega (the McGuffin from "Remembrance of the Daleks") or some other Time Lord artefact.
