What planet is he on?

Article Abstract:

Actors only really feel alive when they are performing, according to actor Tom Baker. He claims that he performs all the time, and that he is therefore entirely fictional. He recalls that he greatly enjoyed being Dr Who between 1974 and 1982, as everyone adored him. He regards himself as a professional diverter, making people forget the horrors of the world. He believes that he has always wanted to be adored, and attributes this to his childhood experiences.

He is not yet certain how his character in 'Coronation Street' will develop, but wishes to avoid being a stereotypical Asian shop-keeper.
