Doctor Who 60th Anniversary: Predicting Chances Of Every Doctor Returning

11. The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker)

Tom Baker has, of course, already returned for a NuWho anniversary special, with his brief turn as the Curator in The Day Of The Doctor proving one of the most memorable scenes in the show's history.

Baker is basically the definitive article when it comes to Doctors - he's often the first one that comes to mind when people think of the show, and he's a perennial favourite with hardcore fans. In other words, his popularity makes him a safe choice for a cameo or a supporting role, which is exactly why Moffat decided to cast him as the Curator, despite having many other options available.

As such, you can say the same thing about the 60th, but on the other hand, his Day Of The Doctor return was a perfect way to conclude his onscreen run in the show (Shada reshoots notwithstanding), so it does make you wonder if RTD should just leave him where he is.

All that said... we're going to take a swing and give him a decent chance. It would almost feel wrong if Baker wasn't included somehow! And apparently, Four is RTD's favourite Doctor, so that might count for something.

Chances: 7/10.
