Happy Birthday to Tom Baker, The 4th Doctor

I think it is safe to say that one of the biggest nerd franchises on the planet, hands down is Doctor Who! You can't walk into a comic book store, Hot Topic or Game Stop with out running into literal tons of Dr. Who merch. It's crazy.

And whether you are new to the series or a long time fan, it is hard to argue that one of the best Doctors of all time is Number 4, Tom Baker who turns 82 today (January 20th). Whether Tom was fighting Frankenstein or the Daleks, he did it with a multitude of useless gadgets and his signature multi colored scarf. He was dark and brooding, yet fun and whimsical. He added a dimension to the Doctor that was never seen before.

To celebrate the good Doctor on his birthday, here are some of the highlights from his run.
