Kelli O'Hara, Susan Stroman to Make Met Opera Debuts in THE MERRY WIDOW on New Year's Eve
On New Year's Eve, Tony Award-winning director Susan Stroman will make her Metropolitan Opera debut with a new production of Lehár's The Merry Widow, conducted by Andrew Davis.
Opening December 31, 2014, the production will feature set design by Julian Crouch, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Paule Constable and choreography by Susan Stroman. The show will broadcast Live in HD on January 17, 2015.
Broadway director and choreographer Susan Stroman, whose many credits include the Tony Award-winning musicals Crazy For You, Contact, and The Producers, makes her Met debut with a lavish new staging of Lehár's effervescent operetta The Merry Widow. The operetta will be performed in English, in a translation by Jeremy Sams. Lehár's best-known composition has been an audience favorite since its 1905 premiere and features a great deal of well-known music, including "Vilja," "You'll Find Me at Maxim's," and "The Merry Widow Waltz."
As Hanna, the widowed Parisian millionairess, Renée Fleming will add a new character to her wide-ranging Met repertory of 22 roles. Andrew Davis will conduct a cast that also includes Nathan Gunn as Hanna's lover, Danilo; Alek Shrader as the young nobleman, Camille de Rosillon; and Thomas Allen as the scheming Baron Zeta.
As well as soprano Kelli O'Hara, currently starring on Broadway in the new musical The Bridges of Madison County, in her Met debut as the Baron's coquettish wife, Valencienne. O'Hara has also starred on Broadway in Nice Work If You Can Get It, South Pacific, The Pajama Game, The Light in the Piazza, Dracula, Sweet Smell of Success, Follies and Jekyll & Hyde.
In April, Fabio Luisi leads a new cast in the principal roles, headed by Susan Graham as Hanna, a role she sang at the Met to acclaim in 2004. The cast also includes Rod Gilfry as Danilo, Stephen Costello as Camille, Alan Opie as Baron Zeta, and Danielle de Niese as Valencienne.

Jurgen Klinsmann took a roster full of non-starters and did what was the most difficult thing to do. Win a CONCACAF World Cup qualifier on the road against a team that was motivated by the opportunity to qualify for the first time in history.
It almost didn't happen. What was most difficult for 90 minutes for the Americans (scoring goals) against Panama became easy in three minutes of extra time.
Graham Zusi tied the game 2-2 on a header in the 92nd minute, and Aron Johannsson delivered the improbable game-winner less than a minute later.
In a flash, the CONCACAF hexagonal final standings were altered. Panama seconds away from a home-and-home series against New Zealand for the final World Cup berth, was heartbroken by the American victory.
Mexico, which lost on the road against Costa Rica, was out of the World Cup between the time the final whistle blew in their game and the time it took for the U.S. to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
For Panama it was devastating for the players, coaches, fans and the entire country. The moment was not lost on the U.S. players and coaches.
"Our players gave everything they had, kept pushing and were rewarded," said Klinsmann. "Obviously, you feel for the people, you feel for the entire country, you feel for (Panama head coach) Dely Valdez, who I admire a lot, but this is football, it's not over until it's over."
Now it is Mexico, with only two victories in 10 final round regional games, that is meeting New Zealand in November.
Television and print media expressed "love and good wishes" for the USA win. The Mexico players and coaches knew they "backed into a second chance" and were less gracious.
Klinsmann's team had wrapped up a berth in the World Cup with two qualifiers left to play. They secured first place in the final standings with a 2-0 win over Jamaica in Kansas City, four days before the match in Panama City.
Ranked #13 in the FIFA World Rakings, the U.S. is outside consideration for one of the top eight seeds at the 2014 World Cup draw, Dec. 6, in El Salvador.
Klinsmann made seven lineup changes for Panama after the win over Jamaica. Several starters were released back to their clubs, and Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey were injured and not called in for the last two games.
Nevertheless, finishing first in the region was a goal, and one attained for the third straight World Cup cycle. Next year the U.S. will play for the seventh consecutive World Cup when the games are played in Brazil.
That the win was earned despite a lack of starters in the lineup, was testament to the depth and the determination of those who were on the field in the closing minutes of a game that was looking more and more like a loss.
Jozy Altidore and Zusi provided second-half goals in the 2-0 win over Jamaica. Down 1-0 at halftime against Panama, Michael Orozco equalized in the 64th minute. Brad Davis, a second-half sub, assisted on both goals by Orozco and Zusi.
The U.S. is now 27-9-6 under Klinsmann, and the 27 wins moves him past Steve Sampson into third-place all-time as the U.S. MNT coach. The team is 16-3-2 on the year and the 16 victories are a record for a calendar year.
The U.S. finished the hexagonal on a 12-game home winning streak.
The U.S. finished on top of the hexagonal with a 7-2-1 record and 22 points. Costa Rica (5-2-3) and Honduras (4-3-3) earned the other two World Cup berths. Mexico still has life with a 2-3-5 record, while Panama (1-4-5) and Jamaica (0-5-5) are finished for this cycle.
"We could have played a lot better than we did, especially in the first half," said Klinsmann. "The second half was much better.
Klinsmann also addressed the closing minutes of the game, and the result the U.S. earned.
"We played our game," he said. "We came here to play simply just a game against Panama and the players went all 90-plus minutes to get a win and get three points. They believed in it all the way until the end. This is our job. We were focused on our job.
"We understand that tonight so much was at stake for both Mexico and Panama. We respect that, but we were solely focused on ourselves. We said that before the game and after the game. Mexico played their game in Costa Rica and we were here, and experienced an unbelievable finish of a game."
The game-winner was the first international goal for Johannsson, who was making his fourth U.S. MNT appearance.
"We just equalized 2-2, and they pushed everyone forward," Johannsson said. "Some of them just stopped playing, I don't know what happened. It seems like they just gave up, and we continued. We showed how strong we are, got that third goal and won the game."

Using Mosaic in MAST reports
From Wiki
Mosaic can be related to any person within MAST by their postcode. It can refer to a casualty or driver.
MAST supports two versions of Mosaic: the current version of Mosaic was created in 2009 and Mosaic 2003 was the original used in MAST.
Dimensions and Indexed Reports
MAST links STATS19 drivers and casualties to Mosaic by using postcodes. This makes it possible to expose the socio-demographic profiles of the communities where they live in the Driver Mosaic and Casualty Mosaic dimensions.
MAST also provides indexed reports, which compare the Mosaic profiles to the underlying population.
Mosaic provides the detailed anaysis which underlies MAST's Similar authorities feature.
Both the up-to-date version of Mosaic and the previous Mosaic 2003 are available as dimensions.
Using new Mosaic
Reports created using Mosaic 2003 have automatically been updated to the newest version of Mosaic. It is likely that in reports previously created in MAST (pre-September 2011), Group z was unchecked so that unknown postcodes were not displayed in the report.
In order to see all the new Groups within the newest version of Mosaic, click on the filter button and make sure Groups K to O are checked.
Converting existing reports between different versions of Mosaic
All reports which were created using Mosaic 2003 have automatically been updated by MAST in order to reflect the most up-to-date socio-demographic profiles of drivers and casualties. This means that Mosaic reports are using the most recent version by default.
If there is a need for a report to use to Mosaic 2003 instead of the updated version of Mosaic then follow these simple steps to convert from one to the other:
- Remove Casualty Mosaic or Driver Mosaic
- Add Casualty Mosaic Previous or Driver Mosaic Previous
- Uncheck z and Unknown
- Save Report

Cajon dominated from the get-go, recovering a fumble and scoring with five seconds to go.
The Cowboys got a pair of touchdowns from their defense, rushed for 350 yards and pulled ahead to comfortable leads of 24-0 in the first quarter and 38-0 at halftime. They sent junior varsity players on to the field for a quarter and a half, Cajon coach Kim Battin said.
"It's just tough to play that kind of game," Battin said. We knew it was going to be that kind of situation and we were prepared for it. Our young guys got to play a lot, which will help us down the road. You take what you can get and make the bes to fit and just try to get better each time you go out."

Dreamy Sanctuary
When my family and I arrived at Maggie's it was warm and cozy from wood burning in the stove. We felt safe, taken care of and welcomed immediately by the owners who provided tonnes of information and were approachable. We were looking for a relaxing home away from home and Maggie's offered just that and then some! It was easy to find (even in the dark), the property was stunning, the interior was immaculate and accessible; from the bathrooms to the fully functional kitchen (even more than in my own home) to the beautiful comfortable and clean beds. We brought our own food to cook, went on a hike to the gorgeous beach, took in the spectacular colourful Fall leaves, and breathed-in fresh air. We cannot wait to come back many times (with family or friends) and would recommend Maggie's to anyone who appreciates a dreamy sanctuary with loads of love inside and out.

Legislator Anker: Supporting the Preservation of Local History
Press Releases
By Long Island News & PRs Published: January 17 2014
Rocky Point Historical Society President Natalie Aurucci-Stiefel showed Legislator Anker the "school room" at the Hallock Homestead.
Rocky Point, NY - January 15, 2014 - On Monday, January 13th, Legislator Sarah Anker joined Natalie Aurruci-Stiefel, Rocky Point Historical Society President, for a tour of the Noah Hallock Homestead in Rocky Point. Built in 1721, the home was saved last year through the generosity of community supporters, as well as a county grant sponsored by Legislator Anker.
Home to seven generations of the Hallock Family, the house is now maintained by the Rocky Point Historical Society and serves as a museum for visitors to view clothing, farming tools and artifacts from the Hallock family, and discover the history of Rocky Point. Aurucci-Stiefel says that the Historical Society hopes to provide field trip programs and host a gallery to showcase local artwork.
"The Noah Hallock Homestead is a jewel to our community, preserving the character and charm of Rocky Point," said Legislator Anker. "I'd like to thank the Rocky Point Historical Society for its tireless efforts to save the home, and I encourage local residents to visit the museum and learn about one of Rocky Point's original families."
Legislator Anker was able to secure $5,000 in the Suffolk County 2014 Operating Budget to support the Rocky Point Historical Society, which will assist the organization in the preservation of local history. For more information about the organization, visit www.rockypointhistoricalsociety.org.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The mastermind of a 15-year kickback scheme that cost the Navy $18 million has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Ralph Mariano was sentenced Friday in federal court in Providence after pleading guilty in May to conspiracy, theft of government property and tax evasion charges.
U.S. District Judge Mary Lisi said Mariano's actions had a devastating impact on his family and those who lost their jobs because of the scheme.
Mariano apologized during the sentencing.
Mariano was a civilian at Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington when he was charged in 2011. He used his position to authorize payments to a Georgia-based contractor, which then give him and others kickbacks. Six people pleaded guilty in the case.
Prosecutors had recommended a sentence of 10 years and one month. Mariano's lawyer had sought less time.

Lincoln-Way North senior guard Denton Wallace hit three three-pointers in a fifty second span late in the second quarter to break open what was a six-point game at the time and fuel the Phoenix to a 71-41 victory over host Lincoln-Way West in Southwest Suburban conference action Friday night.
Wallace finished with a game-high 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting (5 of 9 from three) while teammate Daryle Morgan added 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Phoenix (11-7, 3-2). Junior forward Hayden Witt led West with 16 points on 5-of-19 shooting and was the only Warrior to score in double figures.
"We really stressed and worked on our fast-break in practice this week," North coach John Terry said. "We were pushing the ball up and then had Denton running the right side of the floor and hitting shots."
Wallace's first trey on the night came with fifteen seconds left in the first that gave North a 12-8 lead after one quarter.
A driving layup by West's Luke Horvath (8 points) pulled the Warriors to within eight at 21-13 with 2:53 left in the half and later West cut the deficit to six before Wallace's outburst.
Wallace's first of three straight treys pushed the lead up to 24-15 with 1:20 remaining in the half. Wallace then connected on each of the next two possessions and quickly the lead grew to 30-17 with thirty seconds left before halftime.
"We had been working on the break in practice and I was knocking down the shots," Wallace said. "I was in a groove once I hit my first."
A pair of Witt free-throws cut the North lead to 37-26 with 4:45 left in the third but that was as close as West (1-13, 0-4) would get.
Morgan's strip, steal and dunk made it 58-35 with four minutes left in the game and put the exclamation on the victory.
"Those three three's were the ballgame," West coach Jon White said. "My kids are getting a taste of varsity basketball but I was excited in glimpses."

Store clerk Jun Teddy Wu never saw it coming. While sitting outside a Mobil station in Valrico early Wednesday morning, he was helpless as he was rushed by two guys.
The store's surveillance cameras caught several angles of the brutal assault on tape. Both suspects are armed with guns, their identities hidden by black hoodies and white masks. The video shows Teddy trying to fight back while the men gang up on him.
"They were armed and dangerous and he did everything in his power to keep them from getting anything in the store," said store manager Joseph Vizcarrondo Jr.
The guys were looking for an easy score, but they got away empty-handed. There was no money in the outside register.
They roughed up Teddy, bruising his face and leaving him shaken, but thankfully he wasn't seriously hurt.
The lock on the door may have saved his life. It had recently been changed from key style to a simple deadbolt type.
"So it locks quicker and easier. You don't have to use a key, which actually is one thing that saved his life -- the fact that he could slam the door and click it over," Vizcarrondo said.
"I feel so bad because I know him I talk to him all the time," said Luis Fernandez, a friend and cashier. "I hope they get them, for sure I hope they get them."
That's what deputies are trying to do, figure out who are the bad guys behind the masks. Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward.
"A lot of times, even though they have a mask on, you might recognize them because of they clothes they have on or certain things about them," said Debbie Carter with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Student piles up plastic proof of ocean pollution
After sailing 40,000 kilometres around the world and conducting studies in16 countries, Civil Engineering graduate student Bryson Robertson says the verdict is in on his international quest to catalogue ocean garbage – and the picture isn't pretty.
"The database we're accumulating, along with our own first-hand accounts of beaches, presents irrefutable evidence as to the polluted state of our oceans," says Mr. Robertson, who is using the multi-year voyage to complete his PhD. "It's a global problem requiring global co-operation."
Called the OceanGybe Global Research and Outreach Expedition, the Queen's research project is documenting and recording the effects of marine pollution, as well as studying the effects of topography on the breaking characteristics of ocean swells. The crew departed from Mexico on their boat, Khulula, in May 2007 and spent most of the year sailing across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand, where they spent the winter. In the spring of 2008 they continued their journey to Indonesia, and in October headed west across the Indian Ocean to South Africa.
On a tiny atoll 1600 kilometres west of Bali and down current of Indonesia, the team discovered some of the most polluted beaches of their trip. Despite the fact that more than 1000 residents along the coral reef produce very little garbage themselves, the beaches are ankle deep in sandals, water bottles, plastic toys and other items of 21st-century consumerism, Mr. Robertson reports – all carried downwind from Indonesia.
"Standing on what should be one of the most pristine beaches on earth, watching garbage and plastic refuse wash up the beach in the shore break, will forever be etched in our minds," he says. "No matter how much they cleaned up the beach, the ocean spilled forth more and more plastic jetsam and filled the cleared areas with new plastic trash."
After a whirlwind two-month stay in South Africa, during which the crew spoke to more than 3,000 students high school in Cape Town, Khulula set sail again, this time crossing the Atlantic Ocean. They dropped anchor at a UNESCO protected national park in a Brazilian archipelago called Fernando de Noronha, where local researchers showed them the effects of plastic pollution to the turtles, dolphins and protected mangroves on the island.
"During a10-kilometre beach clean-up walk, we discovered plastics from all over the world," says Mr. Robertson. "It illustrated the fact that, due to their equatorial location, Fernando becomes the resting place for garbage from both the northern and southern hemispheres, as well as the eastern and western Atlantic."
Recently the OceanGybe has teamed up with a researcher at the International Pellet Watch Program based out of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. This lab analyzes types and quantities of organic pollutants that are trapped in plastic pellets as an indicator of ocean pollution. The OceanGybe crew will send collections of PET plastic pellets to be analyzed, as they continue their own international pollution probe.
OceanGybe updates can be found on the team's web site.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
wth how did i get here.
I'm working hard to succeed not to show off.
be proud, the whole day.
I see people going off on how smoking weed is amazing and you feel good and happy after smoking. On my personal opinion, it just means they can generate their own happiness, that they need an illegal substance to assist them to an emotion that can't feel. People ask me often do you smoke? I tell them NO, then they act surprised. I'm always happy, I don't need to try it, I don't need it. I'm surrounded by positive people who make me happy, I'm not high on anything but life on its own. I don't need assistance on something I feel often. I was watching Timothy delaGhetto's 'dear delaGhetto' series and I stumbled across his opinion on drugs, and what I found was amazing was that he has an almost exact same opinion on it. So it shows there are people who enjoy life amazingly and don't do it .
boredom at its best

ESPN NFL insider: Mike McCoy the 'leader in the clubhouse' for Cardinals job
"I honestly think it could be Mike McCoy," he said. "When you look at it, Mike McCoy is probably the hottest of the assistant coaches."
McCoy, who interviewed with the Cardinals last Saturday, is looked at as one of the top assistant coaches ready to make the leap to the head job.
An assistant on the Carolina Panthers' staff from 2000-2008, the Broncos hired McCoy to run their offense in 2008. He's credited for being able to get the most out of the talent he has to work with on offense, which has to be intriguing to a team like Arizona.
"He was able to work so well with Peyton Manning and he's done so well when he worked with Jake Delhomme," continued Clayton. "He's ready, and so he would be the hottest guy.
"When you start to handicap it, knowing that they have a good chance to go to the Super Bowl or at the very least they're going to be in the championship game, you have to wait for Mike McCoy."
And therein lies the rub with regards to McCoy. While a team like the Cardinals may want him and he may want the Cardinals, he cannot go anywhere until the Broncos are eliminated from the playoffs. And as the AFC's top seed, there is a good chance they'll be playing in Super Bowl XLVII.
listen Listen: John Clayton, ESPN NFL insider
Was Todd Haley interviewing for the AZ Cardinals' head coach position? Will Whiz end up coaching the Cleveland Browns? Is Tim Tebow's NFL career over?
"If you have the defensive staff in place and you know what you want to try to do on offense, then I think you're in a position to get Mike McCoy," Clayton said. "I think Mike McCoy is the leader in the clubhouse if this team is willing to wait."

Just a few minutes from Tefts Univ. in Somerville, this little corner place screams neighborhood, boutique type of wine, booze and beer kind of place. Clean, well lit, well laid out, no dust on the bottles. Friendly service, the good beer is located straight ahead in the coolers and on a large display rack. Decent selection, so you will have no trouble finding plenty of BA worthy brew, basically a reasonable selection of the usual widely available stuff. What you will not find is much beyond that. For a wider selection you will have to go to Downtown Wines and spirits, which is just a few minutes driving.

Post EBF bottle shopping :)
More classy, upscale store with everything available to MA. The difference between this one and Downtown is they had rarer beers that i hasn't seen elsewhere. Saw a Utopias, 4 versions of Black Damnation, Older Viscosity and 7 different beers from Bruery. Also had 3 versions of Yeti. Definitely a place to check out for some harder to fins beers.

This is one of the better craft beer, wine, and spirits stores in MA.
The vibe is great- lots of foot traffic, and a clientele who wants to purchase better quality wine, beer, and spirits.
The service is quite good- the staff takes time to help you, and their opinions about beer are valuable.
The store often has craft beers which I couldn't find elsewhere- including the Narragansett Bock,
and Prairie Hop.
They also have an online service for purchasing an order to be picked up. All beers in stock
are listed online.
The store will be opening an additional store under another name in Needham summer of 2013.

One of the most underrated beer havens in the Somerville/Boston area. An unbelievable selection of beers, and always getting new shipments of rare beers and your usual selections. The staff is extremely knowledge in all areas.
If you go, talk to Nate. He is the beer manager and one of the friendliest people in there. Always recommending new beers based on certain flavors I enjoyed in previous beers.
Follow them on Facebook as they usually post the rare shipments there. Just picked up some Barrel Aged Bigfoot today which they didn't post, so you never know what they will have that they haven't announced on social media.
They have a great selection of sours and belgians in the back corner right along side a superb selection of 22oz and 12oz beers from around the US.
Definitely my favorite liquor store in the area.

This is a small but very nice beer and wine store (they also have cheese and other foodstuffs). Beer selection is great, they have lots of local brews as well as beer from good breweries around the world (at least those that can be gotten)
The staff is super friendly and are always roaming the store to make sure you can find what you are looking for. They have a beer club that does not have discounts but rather it pouts your name on a mail list so that if a rare or limited release beer comes available you can get them to hold a bottle for you so you can pick it up.

4.35/5 rDev +4.6%
After reading these old reviews I think it's time for a fresh take.
First off, I almost never buy cold beer. I go straight to 750ml bottles and belgiums. But for a specialty shop the cold selection is varying with local favorites to belgiums I'd normally never find in s cooler.
Prices tend to run a buck or even more cheaper than my main store (Marty's - it's literally 3 minutes from my house). The Rochefort 10 is $6.50 and it is a steal!
The staff is on top of their game knowledge wise although truth be told I'm not one to press for info as I usually know what I'm after.
What is killer about these guys is their craft beer email list for rare stuff that doesn't make the shelves. It pains me to even write about it because I'd rather word not get out. I was able to secure a Rare Bourbon County Stout and an Old Stock 2009 cellar. Super impressive. They are slaying it!

Poor Ball Square Fine Wines & Liquors...they could be so much more if they actually knew about the beer they were selling. I've been visiting this place for quite some time and although they have a good selection (average for the area when compared with Liquor World and Downtown W&S)the knowledge and passion just isn't there.
I've seen the wine folks talk to customers in depth about what they have on the shelves and you can tell they really know the product. In complete contrast, every time I attempt to talk to the little hairy kid that runs the beer dept. I leave feeling like my beer I.Q. had dropped 100 points. It's quite obvious from the conversations I've had and heard that he doesn't drink or like beer. He can't describe the beers he has on his shelves and shows no passion or excitement when it comes to getting customers to try new things. The last time I was there I left cringing after her tried to tell me that OPA OPA growlers where the best thing in his shop.
They have a good selection (not as good as other's in the area) without the knowledge to back it up.

The Universe According to TOM BAKER
DWM confronts the iconic Doctor Who and notorious fibber in a valiant if ultimately vain attempt to uncover the person behind the performance...
Interview by BENJAMIN COOK
Has anyone seen the real Tom Baker? Tall, white man; mid-70s. Hair: ashen, and less abundant than it was when he played Doctor Who on television. Eyes: the brightest, boldest, most mesmerizing blue. No? Well, do let me know if you see him, because I want to sit him down and find out what makes him tick.
"Tom Baker is probably the definitive Doctor," the current incumbent, Matt Smith, tells me when I corner him during filming of the 2010 Christmas Special. "I go to America, and that's who everyone dresses up as. It's Baker. It's the scarf, and the hat, and that long personality that matches his coat. It reminds you of what a wonderful history you're part of. Once you're in this show, it really latches on to you. It's incredible. His Doctor is absolutely the same man as mine."
When I read Tom his successor's kind words, the elder statesman of Doctor Who chuckles, leans in and explains, "The difference between Matt Smith and me is that he's an actor and I'm… well, I'm just Tom Baker. When I realised they liked Tom Baker, that's what they got. It was entirely me. Tom Baker in space. Shovelfuls of Tom Baker, like you're getting now – this performance that I'm doing for you."
The real Tom Baker is – to paraphrase Winston Churchill – a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma under a brown tweed jacket. He's a self-styled eccentric, and his own spin-doctor, which makes him a compelling interviewee, but also tricky to decipher. Some incongruity between a former Time Lord's professional persona and private self is to be expected, but it often seems like Tom is only interested in perpetuating his own mystification, his own fiction. What if this "performance" is all we get today?
I've met this character called Tom Baker in Soho early one Wednesday morning. He's clutching a Sainsbury's carrier bag, inside of which is a challah bun. It's a gift. He's autographed it. I don't know what to say. (No. Really. I don't.) We head to a Pret A Manger. If you read the interview with Tom and costume designer June Hudson in DWM 427, you'll know that Tom is unwavering in his adoration of Pret. It's his Mecca. He orders an espresso.
Settled at a window seat, steaming hot beverages in front of us, I broach the issue of Tom's successors. He doesn't often talk about them in interviews. We've mentioned Matt already, but what does Tom make of the others? Any favourites?
Tom has played Sherlock Holmes twice himself – in a BBC mini-series in 1982, and in the theatre. "I cocked it up both times," he admits. In fact, Tom claims to have messed up pretty much every role in his 42-year career, except, of course, the one that made him a household name. Is he really – as Matt Smith suggests – the definitive Doctor? Is Tom comfortable bearing that accolade?
Is that how Tom felt taking over from Jon Pertwee in 1974?
"He liked the idea of big sums of money for voiceovers, so I would say to somebody, but in Jon's earshot, 'Somebody offered me £15,000 for a voiceover the other day. But I turned it down, because it was going to take a whole hour!' This wasn't true, but I could hear Jon's heart pounding. In fact, he died from a heart attack shortly after that. I think that's why.
"One of the difficulties," says Tom, returning to the original question, "was that Jon had jumped on the part so hard that all the writers were still writing for him [when Tom took over]. My first scripts arrived, and they were whippets***. There was something terribly substandard about them, and insufferably middle class. Men putting women down, that kind of s***. It still goes on a lot, doesn't it? It's okay if it's the Brigadier behaving like that, because no-one could do pompous like Nick Courtney. He was the most pompous man that's ever appeared on television. That was his genius. His very pomposity made him adorable. But I couldn't be pompous. I was only experienced in preposterous science-fantasy.
"I was reading these scripts – hearing, such as it was, the rhythms of the speech – and it didn't please me at all. But I had to swallow it. I was just glad to have a job. Gradually, I began to change bits, and I realised that they liked what I was doing – my big eyes, my double takes, my silly hair – as long as I was sincerely silly. I was utterly convinced by my own silliness and my own sincerity. Yeah.
"You see, Ian [Marter, who played Harry Sullivan] shouldn't have been in it. Ian was only in it because the BBC had originally offered the part – or were considering offering it – to Richard Hearne [famous for his stage and TV character Mr Pastry – Ed], who was an old man then. If they'd given it to him, he wouldn't have been able to run about like I could, so they got in powerful Ian. When I was cast, Ian was already under contract."
When Tom started on Doctor Who, he was, he says, "terribly flattered" by the attention of Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith. "She adored me. She found me funny. I loved her. She used to say, 'Listen to Tom. Tom will know how to do this,' which filled me with confidence – because, underneath that sweetness, Lis is deadly precise. But she didn't stay long. She got out while the going was good."
Of his other companions: "I got on terrifically well with Mary Tamm [the first Romana]. In reality, the TARDIS is smaller on the inside, and it was always pleasurable when I was stuck in there with Mary. I didn't get on so well with Louise [Jameson, who played Leela], especially to begin with. She said I was cold, which is an amazing word, and aloof. I don't know what it was, really. She didn't stay all that long either. But now I'm very friendly with Louise.
"At the time, I thought we could have done more with Leela. We could have developed it. I'm not talking about sex, but I wanted, sometimes, the girls to kiss me. Imagine the publicity! Leela kisses the Doctor! Moments like that would have amused the children. I used to suggest these things, but they'd say, 'No thanks, Tom.' They'd fob me off. The BBC is good at that. I was used to rejection."
By the end of his tenure, Tom had grown even less impressed with the TARDIS crew. "As I recall, we had at least three companions, which was too many. One of the girls [Tegan, played by Janet Fielding] was an airhostess. I'm not interested in airhostesses! It was dull. Sweet children, they were – what could be sweeter than Sarah Sutton [Nyssa]? ----– but they were standing around with nothing to do or say. I don't mean that John [Nathan-Turner, who produced Tom's final season] did that deliberately, but he must have known it wasn't interesting to me.
"John and I," continues Tom, "simply did not get on. When I said that I wanted to leave, he accepted with alacrity. He must have been very relieved, and I was glad to be gone. I wasn't getting on at all well with John, or with his boyfriend Gary [Downie, production manager on various 1980s episodes] – because obviously Gary was sympathetic to John. John had waited a long time to be producer, and suddenly he had the power, and he wanted to make his mark on it. We had some ferocious disagreements about scripts and scenes. Management would say, 'But Tom is the star of the show, and we've got ten million viewers,' and John would say, 'Yeah, but I'm the f***ing producer!'
"One time, I actually resigned," remembers Tom. This was in the late 70s, after a falling out with then-producer Graham Williams. "It caused absolute murder. Bill Cotton, the Controller of BBC One, rang Graham in a panic: 'What do you mean Tom's resigned? He can't! This is our big Saturday-night show!' In the end, they talked me round, and told Graham to stand back. He was the dearest chap who ever drew breath, but he was used to dealing with people who were saner than I was."
I imagine Tom to be quite a formidable opponent in a quarrel.
However, many of Tom's co-stars have admitted they found him difficult to work with. For every instance – and there are plenty – of someone raving about Tom's professionalism, his imagination, his vitality, and his commitment to the show, you can find another, contradictory remark along the lines of: "It was very hard to establish a rapport with Tom" (Louise Jameson); "I liked him, but I don't think a lot people were that keen on him" (Mary Tamm); "I just felt that I was walking on eggshells the whole time" (Sarah Sutton); "He was in a bad mood permanently" (Janet Fielding). The late Douglas Adams [script editor, 1979-80] might have summed up Tom best when he said, "Tom is one of those people who oscillated between being one of the most wonderful, awesome, engaging people you have ever met, to someone you would gladly shove off a cliff."
"Ahh, Douglas used to encourage me and my excesses," smiles Tom. "I'm interested to hear how people found me. Somebody read me a snippet from an interview recently where some actor was talking about how difficult I was to work with. Matthew someone…?"
I'd wager that Tom knows full well that this is Matthew Waterhouse, who played Adric for the majority of Tom's final season. In DWM 424, Matthew said: "You want to work with actors who are fun to be around and generous, and Tom was not by nature a generous actor… He could be pretty unpleasant at times."
Apparently, on Matthew's first day of rehearsals, Tom only spoke to him once, to tell him to "Piss off!" Might Tom have behaved a little harshly towards his inexperienced, adolescent co-star? After all, Matthew was only 18 when he started on Doctor Who.
"I'm bound to have appeared unfair to some people," reasons Tom, "but I was the one who was always out front with the children. I was in schools and on the road. I was insatiable in my desire to be near the audience. I signed thousands of birthday cards. I was a hero. That was a wonderful thing – so agreeable to one's ego. I had never felt so real at a time of my life when I was so utterly fictional."
In which case, it must have been hard not to be consumed by the part?
"Well, I don't know. What happened was, other people were changing – directors would retire or go to other jobs, and so would producers – and I was still there, so the incoming people had ideas about how the programme should be, but it was hard to get past me. I was extremely demanding. I was an obstacle."
Did anyone on Doctor Who intimidate Tom? Lalla Ward, who played the second Romana, once told DWM: "I think Tom actually admits that he feels intimidated by me, in the nicest possible way."
"I wasn't intimidated by Lalla," counters Tom, "although I have such a regard for her. I don't think I was intimidated by anyone, but I was very impressed by the standard of visiting actors. I remember the bliss of working with Graham Crowden [Soldeed in The Horns of Nimon, 1979-80]. He got the laughs. He was wonderful. There was no-one quite like him. Wonderful man. He was considered for Doctor Who at one time."
This was when Jon Pertwee left. Crowden was offered the role, but he wasn't prepared to commit to a long-running series, so it was offered to Tom instead. Eleven years ago, I interviewed Crowden – who passed away this October – and he explained: "I seriously considered accepting [the part]. In the end, I decided not to do it, because I didn't want to be typecast… Perhaps it sounds rather pompous, but I really didn't want to be on television purely as a commercial product."
I tell Tom this, and he says: "It never occurred to me that I'd be typecast, although I was. And I never thought of the role as a commercial product, because I was… well, I was playing this slightly messianic alien. He isn't violent, he doesn't get his leg over the girl, he doesn't steal, and he's rather wry, and adorable, and mysterious. He's lived for 900 years or something. He lives the life of the old patriarchs of the Old Testament. That's not commercial. He's special."
Even so, Tom recognises that Doctor Who was hugely profitable for the BBC's commercial arm. He cites the Doctor's robot dog, K9, as an example: "technically terribly difficult to work with, because it wasn't very powerful – it would topple if it ran over a cigarette end – but an enormous amount of money was made out of marketing K9, so we couldn't get rid of it. That's why I've got bad knees now, what with being a monk in my youth, praying to God, and then on my knees in front of bloody K9. Every two-shot, I was on my knees, or you couldn't do two-shots. My idea was that John [Leeson, who voiced K9] should play him on his hind legs, in a dog suit. They didn't like that idea either."
This seems to be a running theme. Were any of Tom's ideas ever taken up?
Well, quite.
He returns to the commerciality question: "It was rather like, in the earlier days, I had that wonderful line [in Genesis of the Daleks, 1975], 'Have I the right?' I was about to connect those wires and destroy all the Daleks. David Maloney [the director] joked, 'Don't connect those wires, Tom, or Terry Nation [the writer who created the Daleks] will sue us!' Because Terry made a fortune out of the Daleks.
As we established in DWM 427, Tom is a serial exaggerator. I ask Tom how much of what he says is, basically, complete cobblers.
"The thing about being a Christian is, you're never alone, because God is everywhere, so you have no privacy. Insane Christians, like the Roman Catholics, believe in angels as well. They walk in a special way – I won't do it now, it might embarrass you – because they're dying to go to the lavatory. They're plucking up the courage, because not only is God in there, but also they've got a f***ing angel on their shoulder. It's difficult to have a spontaneous, Rabelaisian bowel movement with God and an angel watching."
I'm not sure quite how we got onto this, but I stick with it, and ask Tom how he looks upon his younger, religious self?
Right. Okay.
Playing the Doctor got Tom plenty of attention from the opposite sex – from women who, presumably, prefer their men somewhat unhinged and with murderous impulses. "I've had amazing offers. Ooh, the temptations! The girls were lining up. On programmes like Top of the Pops, where there would be, sometimes, 300 girls in the BBC bar, it would have been very easy to risk catastrophe, because you didn't know how old they were."
If the girls were of a legal age, though…?
"I remember one girl… where did she live now? California, I think. She was going to pay my airfare to come over and impregnate her. She said it would take two-and-a-half days – not the impregnation, the flight there and back – if she picked me up at the airport, and took me to a motel where I could, er, ejaculate. 'It may not be a great pleasure for you,' she wrote, 'because I am 57, and a drug addict, but I'm desperate. Be a father again.' That's a line! All because I was playing Doctor Who.
"I was just doing something that appealed to the imagination – the benevolent stranger, who has secrets. We always want that. You look at a girl sitting there, her face still, and you think, dear God, isn't that fantastic? Then you hear her speak, and you think, oh no, on your bike! She's drained of all mystery. She needs someone to say to her, 'Listen, love, if you want to get on in life, don't ever speak, until you're about 30 and your bottom starts to sag. Don't even smile.'"
That's not very nice.
There's a silence. "Look," he says, trying a different tack, "if there are two girls weeping on Charing Cross Station, and one is beautiful and the other is plain, the plain girl can sit there and grow old, but it takes about 15 minutes before Tom Baker comes along and says to the pretty one, 'Where are you going?' She says, 'Folkstone, but I've got no money,' and I say, 'Listen,' and give her a £20 note. Physical beauty transcends everything. It is the ultimate currency." He leans forward to catch my eye, and asks rhetorically, but rather menacingly: "If you, Ben, were alone on a station platform late at night, something would happen to you, wouldn't it? It may not be nice, but something would happen to you. Someone would want to steal you, steal what you've got, because to be young and beautiful is to be touched with the divine."
I suddenly wonder, an hour into our interview, whether Tom Baker is flirting with me.
But do we? How can we know that it's not the real Tom Baker talking if we never get to know the real Tom Baker?
For a moment, Tom seems stumped. "Obviously, I wouldn't say anything brutally offensive to someone publicly," he says. There's another silence. "All I meant is, to be touched with the divine is deeply moving, because everybody knows it won't last. Of course, you can't conceive of that, even though you know it. You can't conceive of being old. You weren't even born when I finished Doctor Who, were you? That's incredible."
Tom is 76 now. His steps – if not his tongue – are a bit tentative, but otherwise he seems in rude health. He's unstoppable. "I walk every day, three or four times, deliberately," he says, "although this morning I was limping slightly. I've arthritis in my knees."
Is he afraid of growing old?
"When I was Doctor Who, I visited my fair share of hospitals. They'd ask me to go down to some ward where a child was in a coma, dying. When people are in comas, they often have troupes of people going in, trying to rouse them. I'd go through my terrible routine of saying, 'Hiya, Jacob, it's the Doctor here. I've been told by K9 that you're not very well.' I'd like to tell you that one day a boy opened his eyes and said, 'Doctor…?' But he never did." Tom bows his head. "That's how pathetic I was at raising the dead.
"The fans used to say, 'Tell me something to live by, Doctor.' They're always saying that. I used to say really dumb things like, 'Remember, the living are just the dead on holiday,' and they'd go, 'Ohh man, did you hear that? The living are just the dead on holiday!' They used to quote things like 'It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for.' They like that. I was a big icon for the gay boys, in Chicago particularly, and I remember some gay boys surrounding me, and I held the hand of one of them, and suddenly he said to his friend, 'Roy, I can walk! It's a miracle!' His friend Roy said, 'What? Of course you can walk, you're a f***ing athlete!' He thought he was a pilgrim. It was terribly funny. He said, 'It must be nerves.'"
"I don't know quite what it means to be happy. I know that it's difficult to be happy when you're poor. When you're very poor, it's difficult to even get a hard-on. You're stuck looking at pictures of old hard-ons. Happiness, sometimes, is having power over people – for example, in a relationship. Those are happy moments. Or when people offer me parts. I'm constantly offered work. Not big movies, but I'm offered panto – the Demon King. Well, it isn't the Demon King nowadays; I don't have the power in my knees. When I was younger, the Demon King always got the girl with the biggest tits. They were happy days.
"They were reckless and feckless days, too, in the clubs and pubs around Soho with some very talented people. I remember Jeffrey Bernard, the great piss artist of his time. He was dying when I knew him. Sally Smirnoff, his Cockney slang for vodka, had killed his dick stone dead. He was dying of Sally Smirnoff, but he couldn't stop loving her."
In such bacchanalian company, how close did Tom come to alcohol addiction, I ask?
"Since the late 80s, I've been happier and steadier. I set up home, married [TV producer] Sue Jerrard, we had cats, and a lovely house, and I renewed my interest in gardening. I was able to walk past these places, glance in, and see the smoke, the anxiety that drinking a lot brings. But I don't mean it was easy."
The bright lights and dark shadows of Soho were, at one time, a refuge for Tom – for instance, during his second marriage, to Lalla Ward. Tom and Lalla wed in December 1980, three months before Tom's final episode of Doctor Who was broadcast. The marriage lasted only 16 months. In his autobiography, Who on Earth is Tom Baker?, he devotes less than four lines to the break-up. Would he prefer to forget they'd ever been husband and wife?
"No," he says, "because we were happy for a few months. We got married after a tremendous romance, thinking that it was a good idea, and then it wasn't a good idea, and we separated and divorced. It was all quite amicable, at a distance."
Espresso cups drained, our interview almost over, but I have one final question for Tom – and it concerns Lalla. I wonder whether, after seven years in the role, the only way that Tom could bear to give up the key to the TARDIS was to take a crucial piece of the show with him: that is, by marrying his companion.
Somewhere in there, I think, was an answer – although possibly not to the question I asked. And contained within this interview are, I hope, flashes of the real Tom Baker. Just don't ask me where. Maybe, in the end, we aren't supposed to know for certain which is which – the man, the myth, or the "monster". Perhaps it's all just Tom Baker.
