I never realized what a lovely homage Robot was to classic monsters like Frankenstein, King Kong, and Godzilla. Doctor Who at its best in Tom Baker's debut.

Tom Baker was the best of the old era Doctors. Just a perfect mix of impishness, danger, optimism, and charm. When I went to England for the first time I was unreasonably excited to get jelly babies, only to discover that I hated their texture and preferred gummy bears. I was so crushed.
