TOM BAKER TURNS ON CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOOTAGE

19 December, 2011 by Conor

The BBC have recovered and partially restored an old video of Tom Baker switching on the Christmas lights in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and posted it on their official Doctor Who site as part of their Christmas Advent Calendar.


From the BBC:
We're delving into the archive today with the first of two pieces from Tom Baker's time as the Doctor.

Today's video shows Tom Baker during a visit to Northern Ireland, switching on Christmas Lights to the delight of a huge, wonderfully noisy crowd!

Both pieces are decades old and their audio/video quality reflects this, but we hope their charm and interest makes up for the imperfect sound and picture. We'll be bringing you the second video very soon!
