That's be Pat Troughton - who you may recall better as a preist in one
of the Omen films.

Blonde.. almost certainly Peter Davison (who took up the role after
Tom Baker). No idea what of his has been exported - All Creatures
Grunt and Smell?

There were 7 main "incarnations" on TV, with Peter Cushing doubling up
as the first Doctor for 2 fairly dire movies.

You'd be surprised - the discovery of some episodes has to lead to
revised opinion of how quickly home recording started "taking off".
Only last year an additional episode was found (although not a home
recording) - it seems every time we give up and think "Oh, there'll
always be 110 episodes missing" along comes another and makes it 109
(the current status, IIRC)

Well, I've done a TARDIS (although Superpatch hates it so I really
ought to find my design flaw) and I'm working on Doctors... one of my
main interests in Poser, in fact :)

Of course - if anyone feels like showing me by example how to do
characters/objects from Doctor Who *please* don't let me stop you!
