Ah jeez. Very sad news. RIP Jon Kenny. A genuine original and innovator of Irish comedy. Terrific recently in Banshees of Iniserin. #jonkenny #RIP

Tom Baker is 90 today! An excellent reason to share this again (pub. The Sunday Times 19/03/1978 - full text available at cuttingsarchive.org/index.php/A_...)
A page from the Sunday Times. Article title is: “A Day in the Life of: Tom Baker”
Subtitle: Jeffrey Bernard talks to 'Dr Who' — Tom Baker, aged 44. Photograph by Kenneth Griffiths

Photo is of Baker in a brown suit leaning casually against a bar in a victualler’s of some kind - he’s looking off to the photographer’s right.

Text is too long for alt text, but is Baker describing a ‘typical day’ for him, and begins:

“You could say that yesterday was fairly typical of a day in my life when we're not recording Dr Who. I woke up at 5.15a.m. in a brown cork-lined room in Soho and then got into bed. But where am I ? I dreamt about a tall, thin woman, but who is she ? I suffer recurring images of tall skinny ladies. They look so good and really release all those fantasies. I woke up again and it was 6.10a.m. I got up and began the daily process of dragging my feet to their final destination at night.”
