He has always been loved and admired by countless readers and critics for ‘the excitement, the fierce joy, the delight in strangeness, the pleasure in deep and dark adventures’ found in his classic stories and, without doubt, he created some of the most horribly unforgettable characters in literature and, above all, Mr. Edward Hyde.

Tom Baker was born in Liverpool in 1934. He became an actor and is most well-known, in seventy-four countries, for his portrayal of Doctor Who.
