He was a monster. On one of the DVDs they have the raw footage of a recording session and Tom is being such an arrogant arsehole. It's shocking.
I think he was ok in the Liz Sladen era when he was new to the role but got gradually worse from there.

That's pretty much what Sarah said
He made the recording process toxic
Her, Janet and Pete got on like a house on fire though

There is relief in their voices when they talk about the transition from Tom to Pete. The people behind the camera were relieved too I bet.

Pete is the consumate professional
The difference in the twos careers tells you that

The Tom>Pete transition reminds me very much of the Hartnell>Trought switch, in terms of how the cast and crew speak about it. They were thrilled to see the back of the toxic presence in both cases.
Although Hartnell's difficult behaviour seems to have been an outcome of his illness. Tom was just choosing to be a dick.

I don't mind Tom's early stuff but he just became a parody of himself as it went on.Rogg wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 6:01 pmGood point.

Nobody forced him to stay so his attitude is odd.
The show was much better received with Pete at the helm as well it seems

Re: Randall and rogg's favourite doctor who stories....
I think he craved to be seen as the man but didn't really care about trying hard at it or being nice. Narcissism indications possibly? That's a very wild guess.Randall wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 6:03 pmI don't mind Tom's early stuff but he just became a parody of himself as it went on.Rogg wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 6:01 pmGood point.

As you like the background stuff, you should watch the documentaries and commentaries on the DVDs. Pete and Janet are good fun in the commentaries and clearly still get along very well. Lalla Ward (second Romana) comes across as an ogre, a bad egg.

Re: Randall and rogg's favourite doctor who stories....
In a commentary Lalla Ward (second Romana) refers to Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) as "Matthew Waterlogged or whatever his name was". It's not nice.
Between her and Tom at his most monstrous, and the pair of them coming out of a disastrous romance at the time, the little Adric dude was given a rough time. He was only a teenager at the time. So I suspect that he was also relieved when the Pete era swept away all that.

They have put up a new Tales of the Tardis on the iplayer with the Tom/Sarah story Pyramids of Mars edited into one piece, with Ncuti and Millie bookending it with bits, in the style of the other ones they did. That's a really good story.

Seems that one had a 2014 re-release in paperback as part of a 'Monster Collection'. It is £1.99 on kindle, ooh.

Just watched pyramids of mars for the 1st time in decades
It's not awful but I don't see why it ranks so high on all time polls
