And the new Who could be a woman
TOM BAKER ... There's nothing more can do in the series.
TOM BAKER is quitting as TV's Doctor Who.
And the Time Lord's successor in the BBC science fiction series could be a woman.
Last night Baker denied that an argument with the producer led to his decision.
But he admitted he was upset by the recent demise of K-9, the doctor's mechanical dog.
He said he had argued against writing out K-9. And he claimed producer John Nathan-Turner had not tried to persuade him to stay.
Assistant
'There's nothing more I can do in the series except repetition,' said the 46-yearold former building labourer.
He will be seen in his last two episodes with the doctor's new assistant, Janet Fielding.
Mr Nathan-Smith said last night he had asked Baker to stay. He will be announcing the new Dr Who in a month.
'I've spoken to various people, some of them ladies,' he said.
