Discussion Thread for Tom's Answers in JUNE 2010

I enjoyed hearing about Tom's ironing technique. I also timed myself, although I was ironing women's blouses and tops, I was able to match his five garments per half hour.

I also iron just like he does, except that I do the yoke last.

BTW might interest you and another PERSON on this board: competitors are in training for the FIRST Extreme Ironing World Championships. Google for 'moore' data and photos.

I remember making a silly manipulated pic from an 'extreme ironing photo once...

There is that old joke: Ask a Scotsman what is worn under a kilt and his answer? Nothing, it's all in perfect working order.

Hi Mouser LOL

Wow, thank you once again Mr Baker for answering yet more of our weird and wacky questions.

While subtly skirting round our inquisitions, you actually paint a wonderfully colourful picture of your life for us to relish. I bet those little kittens are keeping you both very occupied for the time being, not to mention Poppy of course. What on Earth does she make of it all? What a wonder it is to watch new born life grow and evolve.

And I am chuckling away at the thought of Eddie Izzard playing the Doctor. I would never have thought of him. We briefly discussed this between ourselves *elsewhere* but I have to admit that Eddie is up there with the best suggestions that we could muster, being Stephen Fry and John Cleese. Wonderful stuff. Let's hope Stephen Moffat keeps an eye on this forum as he could be making notes for when Matt Smith leaves the role in a few years' time!

I thought it was ironic that Tom mentioned President Obama being asked to appear in Doctor Who because, in a way, President Obama did appear. A President Obama look alike appeared in the "End of Time" episodes where David Tennant eventually regenerated into Matt Smith. I would have loved to see the President on the show but his political opposition, and the late night television hosts, would have never let him live it down.

[Who dat?]

Some friendly soul might wish to remind Tom of his role in "Strange". One doesn't have to go far to find a good pic of those eyes!
It's on a different fan site "link REMOVED by me" (thanks Dirk for the reminder). Google for "Tom Baker in Strange" and it can be easily found.
I haven't seen the episode but I'm surely going to look for it now.
