Dr. Who News: Tom Baker is back "Tom Baker returns on camera for 1979 Shada serial"

Longest-serving Doctor films new footage to complete Shada, an episode that was abandoned due to a BBC strike.

“The Doctor Who actor Tom Baker has made a surprise return as the Time Lord in new scenes filmed to complete a lost episode of the BBC show.

Baker last regularly appeared as the Doctor in 1981, when the character regenerated and the role was taken over by Peter Davison.Nearly 40 years later, he has been persuaded to don the familiar hat, long coat and stripy scarf again to finish off an episode for which filming began in 1979 but was abandoned due to a BBC strike.”
