Want to convey the magic and other-worldliness of Tom Baker, the disco-era Doctor Who star? Easy. Just have him hang around a schoolyard in a big trenchcoat skipping, and flattening his hand over his eyes to stare at some imaginary creature. Note that there are no children in this playground. I actually love Tom Baker dearly, but this clip from the 1999 BBC documentary Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space proves it’s better not to watch your heroes in their off hours. (Or maybe that you shouldn’t do everything documentary-makers ask you to do.)
