Tom Baker is still my classic childhood image of Doctor Who - he was the one on daily reruns while I was growing up. I probably should've been most familiar with Peter Davidson or Colin Baker... but maybe they weren't running current episodes.
same here (though for me it was weekly on PBS)
I also think that it could be due to him being one of the actors playing the doctor for the longest time (at least episode wise)
