Tom Baker has once again donned the legendary hat and scarf to play the fourth incarnation of Doctor Who...but this time with a difference...he's made entirely of plastic!

He will be seen in a brand new photo adventure, featuring a star-studded cast of action figures and scripted by Si Hunt and Simon Rayner - regarded as two of the weakest of the new breed of Doctor Who authors. As has previously been revealed, the script will be based around a classic Doctor Who story but given an exciting re-interpretation for the new millennium.

"We're honoured to have the chance to bring the fourth Doctor back to celebrate forty years of adventures," said Simon J.P Hunt, one of the producers of the new story which is set to appear on-line from Sunday 23rd November.

"Just wait until you see Tom in action! He is the Doctor!" chips in Simon P.M. Dawn Rayner. "We think this is his best performance since Doctor Who and the Pescatons."

The new story is set to begin on the 40th Anniversary of the proper Doctor Who from off of the telly and everything, and will last for five weeks. In the run up to this, several publicity items will appear, each giving away a few more details of the thrilling adventure to come. An item for Blue Peter has already been confirmed for transmission on the Monday before the adventure begins and each episode is to be marked by an exclusive Radio Times cover.
