Great. I'm always happy when people don't shake their things in my general direction. It can be very distracting.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I recognized him, but I'm not sure I would have if I hadn't been watching a bunch of the specials where he was interviewed. But I think there were enough context clues that I would have at least figured out that he was a previous Doctor, even if I didn't know which one.
Lots of not young people started watching Who with Eccleston. Catching up is an intimidating prospect. I'm not surprised by people who haven't. It's also a different mindset. I'm not surprised by people who started and stopped before the faces sank in.
I recognized him more by his voice than his face. I've never seen a recent photo of him.
I recognized him from his eyes, I think.

Me too. Tom Baker was my childhood Doctor in PBS syndication. (Context helped a lot, though - it was clear that he was a classic Doctor, so it was just a matter of picking from a very small list to remember which one.)
He was my childhood Doctor in real time, and my first ventures into proto-fandom were on his watch, so he's etched onto my eyelids. He just looked like an old version of my favourite Doctor, since I don't think I've seen much of him since then.
I've always adored his voice.
like trying to smear butter on a porcupine. Not really gonna work well for either side
I am waiting for the opportunity to use this in my life.
Tom Baker was the only Doctor I knew when I was a kid.
