As part of the celebration for the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, the Radio Times magazine interviewed Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor from 1974 to 1981.
When I saw the accompanying photos, I was so surprised by how changed he was from his appearance in the 50th Anniversary Special that I actually spent some time trying to confirm that the shots were legitimate, rather than some kind of AI generated extrapolation of how he would look.
I know that time has its way with us all, and after all, he is a 90 year old man. Regardless, there's a kind of sad irony that an actor made famous by playing a near-immortal time traveller would so obviously fall victim to the effects of days and years gone past.
