5. Attempting To Vanquish Robin Hood AND The Magic Roundabout
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff5hzwP0q44 1984 was a busy year for Tom Baker. He not only played the bad guy in Remington Steele but he also portrayed the villainous Sir Guy de Gisbourne in the Zany Adventures of Robin Hood film. Don't remember that film? Don't worry, not many people do. It was a comedy (as might be expected) starring George Segall and some other people who should have really known better. More enduring in the popular consciousness was Tom's role of the evil Zeebad in 2005's Magic Roundabout film. This animated film featured a whole host of cult actors including Joanna Lumley who - as all Doctor Who fans know - got to play the Doctor himself in the Comic Relief spoof story, Curse of the Fatal Death. For a taste of Tom as Zeebad, play the above video. Sheer, unbridled brilliance - as only Tom Baker can deliver.
