Tom Baker

[Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,241]

He is so thin he is looking like a pick axe.

I give him until, er, November the 27th.

I can't imagine Tom Baker giving the fuckingest shit about when LFN thinks he's going to die, to be honest.

First meet up with fans in five years organised for next month so maybe not quite at deaths door just yet.

I'll still wanna check in on that night to see if the prohpersy is fulfilled 

[Miranda lass 115]

So 9 hours till he dies apparently 

But just to add something else to the thread, I'd like to know if there's anything new on Tom Baker, in case the prediction was wrong

Lots of pictures on Twitter from Tom’s first “meet and greet” event in years yesterday.

Voice a little weaker but still recognisably Tom.

Looks pretty good for nearly 91 here

Personally I reckon Tom Baker is a more 2026 candidate and not 2025. I can see Tom going downhill very quickly though.

Christmas message from Tom.

Still as mad as a box of frogs then. Great to see

Seems okay enough, I think he will probably take a year off the list since we need to drop a few.

Tom made an MBE in the New Years honours

Funnily enough I was wondering why he hadn't had a gong before when pondering whether or not to put him on my theme team. I presumed he had declined honours but obviously no.

 

He now has the additional honour of qualifying for my DDP theme team...

[TheKeysOfMarinus 396]

I’ve seen a lot of social media support for him to get a knighthood in the past but that is never going to happen is it? We all love him but we all love him for just one role. I don’t they’d consider him for a knighthood ahead of busy stage and screen actors. 

[Youth in Asia 1,094]

How on earth can he only get an MBE? He is one of the best known actors in the country, most of his peers get knighthoods. It's more of an insult than anything.

While other people like Chris Whitty and Kier Starmer do. Disgusting!

It is possible that he snubbed something once upon a time but has since changed his attitude to the honours system.

My understanding is that Stephen Fry has turned down multiple honours but accepted a knighthood. He seems to have become more moderate in his political views as he's aged so it's not surprising.

My understanding is this is accurate. Or at the very least, his friends and fans have pestered him into accepting one!

[Ulitzer95 13,054]

Btw, to those pointlessly barking at the moon about this, it's really quite easy to nominate someone for an honour, and my understanding is that a large % (something like 60%) of all nominations are accepted by the honours committee.

There's a form online to do it. Everyone complains about snubs but 99.9% of them have never actually bothered to nominate anyone.

And many others are just delayed to the next list to retain balance in areas of achievement, category, gender and ethnicity.
