Frequently voted the best Doctor, Tom Baker was also one of the least famous when he took the part. Despite his previous membership of the prestigious National Theatre, Baker was an unemployed actor who was working as a hod-carrier when he was approached for the Fourth Doctor. Producer Barry Letts cast Baker as the Doctor after he was recommended to him by the BBC drama director William Slater, who was then serving as Head of Serials at the BBC. Letts became convinced Baker was right for the part after seeing him in Il viaggio fantastico di Sinbad (1973). Letts had never heard of Baker before and had considered and even approached several bigger names but they had all been discounted for various reasons.
