2 Toms within the Hinchcliffe years: There's the gothic-alien but best friend Tom from Robot to Hand of Fear...
Then the slightly more Reckless yet Professorial Tom from Deadly Assassin to Talons...
You get a 3rd version in season 15 where he's by turns, snappy and volatile but then bored and disinterested.
Key to Time Tom is almost pure buffoonery, in some ways similar to Troughton but in others distilled Tom Baker.
Season 17 Tom is the real Bohemian Tom, at the height of all his superpowers, mad but with his early mojo back.
Then morose, morbid Tom in s18, who actually seems more akin to s12/13 Tom: Full Circle if you'll pardon the pun.
So which of the 6 Toms is your favourite?!
TTFN! K.
