One of the most significant signs of Who's 5oth anniversary being not too far away anymore is that the papers have started conducting interviews with some of the actors who left their mark on this show.
This is The Guardian featuring Tom Baker commenting on his time on Who. Leaving those fan-ish debates on 'who is the best Doctor' aside, to many people Doctor Who would not be the same show if at one point in time Tom Baker didn't have played the mad man in the blue box. Just in case you don't believe me, take a look at the final of DoctorWhoTV's recent poll on the most popular Doctor and decide for yourself. A hint, it's not Matt Smith vs David Tennant.

And if you've ever been interested into Peter Davison's take on the show, on its past and its future, then make sure not to miss this interview by the Telegraph. Maybe the most interesting question he gets asked is his opinion on a female Doctor:
It’s not as if genders are interchangeable on Gallifrey [...] I don’t like the idea of the Doctor having a sex change - it’s not as if you would have a female James Bond.
And I know a rather big number of Whovians who'd wholeheartedly agree.
The only thing about which I have to disagree with him is that I don't think Rose was the first companion which the writers got right. Sarah Jane Smith has always felt like a proper companion to me. In a way, she felt much rounder than Rose, because Rose hardly ever seemed to doubt the Doctor's decisions.
