August, 1982, WFSU began airing the Tom Baker serials in episodic format, 5 days a week at 6 PM. The following Saturday, the first 4 episodes, comprising "Robot," is aired as an uninterupted "movie" spanning roughly 90 minutes. I had seen promos for nearly two months, so I started reading what material Starlog had printed. Fortunately, one issue listed several seasons (or as the British say, "series") of Tom Baker segments, so I was somewhat prepared by the first airing. What other series, at least at the time, would have had the courage not just to change lead performers, but bring in someone so radically different as to be essentially, another person? Campy? Yeah, depending upon which years one remembers. I found the early Tom Bakers, especially after Harry Sullivan stayed on Earth to be quite gothic and dark. I mean, the villian in "Seeds of Doom" gets caught in his own wood chipper! No blood or gore shots, but anyone with any imagination can guess what happened next! Sigh, I certainly miss that series. So, who wants a jellybaby? ;-) Sincerely, Bill
