Hello Tom B. It's me again the slipper lady. I hope you and your family are well during this terrible virus.
I told you before how sick I was last year. Your WONDERFUL BOOK lifted my spirits so much. Your words tickled my imagination. I could see the entire story in my mind. Then when I heard you read the story on CD. Your voice was like am oasis to a dry sandy desert(I was the dry sandy desert). I want YOU to know YOU will always be a hero.
This is not the first time you have been a hero for me. I did not grow up during a terrible war thankfully. But I grew up in a private one. One many children see called alcoholism. Parents fighting and beating on each other. Until the alcohol wins over all. During this time what gentleness you get there was always a threat of beating hanging over your head.
I will admit when I saw you acting as Doctor Who. I was in aw of your masculinity and yet your gentleness. A gentleness like nothing I had never seen.
THANK-YOU for showing me there is gentleness without brutality.THANK-YOU. BE WELL. Sandra

To My favorite Doctor of All Time:
You were the Doctor I grew up with. One day maybe we Americans can try Jelly Babies.
I echo sentiments from others that you please take care to stay healthy in this crazy time.
However, my greatest concern is your soul. I think it would be awesome to spend time with you in Heaven when the crazies of our lives are done. I pray that you trust in Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins. We all have those. Jesus died and rose to give us eternal life.
This letter probably seems odd and off. However, the opportunity to write something that you would read seemed to need an important message.
I’ll keep watching, and listening, in hopes to one day see you. If not on this side of eternity, prayerfully the other.

Hello Mr.Baker, you were always my favorite actor to ever play Dr. Who. Last night I watched a movie "Frankenstein The True Story", you had a small part in it as the ships captain. I hope you are doing well sir, sincerely,

Dear Tom,
I do hope you're well. It's time like this, more than ever, we need the Doctor.
I just wanted to drop you a line to say that I've been rewatching some of my favourite Doctor Who episodes to lift my spirits. Escaping reality with the Doctor has proven to be a tonic, now more than ever.
Thank you for the years of happiness you've given myself, and others.
Best wishes,
J

Dear Mr Tom Baker,
I am writing today to express how grateful I am for all the years of pure entertainment you have given me, I have been watching you from a very young age and even though I have grown into a man now I still feel a child like glee when ever your presence graces my TV screen. I must also compliment you on your story telling abilities every interview I have seen you in has had gripped just as much as your acting roles, Many have also had me in stitches and it's nice to hear a real person who was once the "tea maker" on a construction site elevate to a national treasure. I feel that not many actors can achieve what you have in your ability to play such a wide range of roles so well from the beloved Doctor Who to the villainous Koura from sinbad. I wish you well in all your endevours and good health for the years to come and all you may bring in the future. a great big thank you for your time and all you have given to all your fans.
And a great big thank you from me.
Kind Regards
Daniel Hardwick

Dear Tom
Hope you are well and safe
I grew up in the 70s and was fortunate enough at the time to watch all your dr who stuff. You WAS my doctor I grew up with watching and so consider you THE doctor. No one else can touch you In my opinion. Your earlier stories especially were the greatest in WHO history. You are a very extraordinary man and a hero to all and continue to be so. I wish you and your family all the best and to stay safe in this crazy time we are all sadly experiencing.
God bless you
David

Hello Tom. I hope it's okay to call you Tom. It's interesting that much like people are attached to a certain sportsteam or breakast cereal or whatever, my generation and anyone besides the years 1996-2005 has "their doctor." When I was a kid in upstate New York, we would come home from elementary school in the days when kids did that and their parents weren't home and were introduced to the BBC. I can't say I always got what was going on but the show was fascinating and at a young age not the least bit campy. I have since watched and read up on the show's history and come to recognize most of the doctors in this and other roles. But of anyone ever asks - Who's your doctor, without hesitation I would say Tom Baker - the fourth and only doctor in my mind.
I wish you and your family safety and good health.
Jon Levin, PhD

Dear Tom,
I recently sent you a topical "virus-based" message about the 1977 "Doctor Who" classic "The Invisible Enemy" and Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Not even the Timelords of Gallifrey are immune to Coronavirus! Closer to home, in the news, it was announced that Prince Charles has tested positive for the virus. Also on the news was a message from your female counterpart, Jodie Whittaker, in character as "Doctor Who".
Tom, you need to speak to your fans! I feel sure your fans would appreciate hearing from you in this time of crisis. Speaking for myself, I'm concerned for your health and safety! How are you and Sue coping? Are you self-isolating? Have you stopped working? And on a topical and slightly humorous note, have you got enough toilet rolls? 😂😂😂
Please Tom, send a message to your fans via your Website, to reassure us you're safe and well! We would love to hear from you.
Please look after yourself and Sue.
Kindest regards,
Clive Mattinson

Dear Mr Baker,
I'm glad that you seem to be healthy and well even though you are 86 years old.
I only just discovered this, otherwise I would've put something up much sooner.
You are one of my favourite Doctors ever, and I admire you a lot. I'm glad that you came in Day of the Doctor as the Curator. You were great as the Doctor, I wish you'd come back as Fourteenth. My mum used to watch Doctor Who when she was little, and she mostly watched Fourth Doctor. She was scared of the Daleks but she really liked your acting as the Doctor.
I wish I could meet you. You are a fabulous role model.
From, Jen.
P.S. I love cats too!

Dearest Tom,
Do you recall, as "Doctor Who" in 1977, you once battled a VIRUS in the story "The Invisible Enemy". The story memorably introduced K-9. When people were infected by the virus, they would say, "Contact has been made".
Well, the world now also faces a battle with a real-life virus: Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Tom, as you are an octogenarian, and are in the "high risk" group, please do take extra care to protect yourself and your wife! You are incredibly precious to your fans, and we love you very much!
To borrow the line from "The Invisible Enemy", contact must NOT be made!
Please stay safe, Tom!
Kindest regards,
Clive Mattinson.

That's a great new concept they've introduced for The Doctor and your Doctor was just that.
Deep, playful, and erudite.
Thanks for all the fun.
And The Curator is back! Wow.

Hi Tom! Just watched your episode of This is Your Life. It was so lovely. I missed my chance to see you when you came to the United States back in 1990. I was having what turned out to be premature contractions during my pregnancy and couldn't attend your event. However, just to let you know I've remained a dedicated fan of yours and your work. As the seasons pass, my appreciation of you grows, and I wish you all of the best in life. Thank you, Juanita Ignacio

Dear mister Baker, I have only recently come to realize how much idols and heros are important! You sir have been a prominent hero figure to me! An inspiration! I discovered and was transported into the Dr. Who world watching you play the Doctor. Since then, I have seen all the doctors at work but you have been and always will be my favorite Dr. Who of all Times! There is something about you that simply made the character Magnificient! I can find qualities in all the other actors, but your interpretation as the Doctor is unmatched! Your smile, those eyes of yours, that incredible deep voice, your humour, your energy made you the most charismatic of all Time Lords! I have just finished reading your autobiography, Who on earth is Tom Baker, and I must say considering all you have gone through that there is greatness in you sir!! I do hope to have the chance and enormous privilege to meet you one day at some public event.Any chance you come to Montreal in the near futur? Thank you sir for the gift of your timeless performance as Dr Who! Most Respectully!

I can find qualities in all the other actors, but your interpretation as the Doctor is unmatched! Yes, your smile and those eyes of yours!! Your humour, your energy made you the most charismatic of all Time Lords! I have recently met and shook William Shatner's hand in Ticonderoga, the recreated sets of the Enterprise.

Dear Tom Baker, I ask nothing. I just want you to know you have came close to saving my life. I doubt you remember but I sent crocheted slippers years ago. I am now diabetic. Last year I became sick almost all year. I was a medication that made me sick,so I couldn't keep food down. I lost fifty pounds. Then I was told I had gastroparesis. Which was followed by a mini stroke. That put me in the hospital. Then I got hit by a bad case of vertigo and back in the hospital. When they let me out I was still dizzy in the head and depressed. That night dizzy and depressed I ate something sweet. But I was so dizzy from vertigo I totally forgot my night shot. The next morning I was back in the hospital in ICU. These hospital stays lasted on and off all summer. When I finally got home I was so weak and low. I had to use a walker to even try to move. I didn't even care if I ate.
Then some how.I can't even remember how I found out about the book you wrote, Doctor Who The Scratchman. I wanted to read the book. I ordered it. For the first time in months I was excited. When I found out you narrated the book on CD I had to get those too. I could hardly wait. For the first in a long time I had something good to look forward to. When the book came I could hardly wait to open it. I couldn't hardly put it down. You are a wonderful writer. I enjoyed it from cover to cover. When I got the CDs and heard you reading your book. I enjoyed it very much. Some how you have lifted my spirits and gave me the ability to keep going. I am off the walker. Walking on my own around the house. Just using a cane when I go out to help with balance. The way I was going I am not sure if I would be here I was so low. I had stopped caring about me. Thank-you for saving me by raising my spirits and giving me a smile again. Sincerely, Sandra Evans

Hello Tom, I just wanted to tell you that growing up in the 70s one of my fondest memories is the 4th Dr.
I wanted your scarf, jelly babies & to travel with you. I remember you from Sinbad, Harryhausen movies are still timeless. You are & will forever be the definitive Doctor!! I did finally get the scarf & wear it all the time. Thank you for inspiring not only a generation but the universe. 🦇

Dear Tom,
I have just now come across Big Finish and in particular your work there reprising the fourth Doctor. What Joy! You were *my* Doctor Who, from when I was growing up, and I have always loved your work (both as the Doctor and otherwise) and it was a real thrill to hear you once again with Louise Jameson, or rather hear the Doctor and Leela 🙂 . You took me right back to my childhood – thank you!
I remain constantly delighted to see and hear of your ongoing activities.
With much affection, Chris.
