Doctor Who showrunners Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat come together to celebrate the "phenomenal" casting of one Doctor in particular. Looking back at the Fourth Doctor era, Tom Baker assumed the role in 1974, leading the show for 172 episodes across 7 seasons. Baker's final battle against the Master (Anthony Ainley) in 1981's "Logopolis" brought his adventures to an end with the Fourth Doctor's regeneration, but he has since reprised the role in one-off appearances and audio dramas.

When speaking to Doctor Who Magazine (via RadioTimes) in a larger retrospective on Phillip Hinchcliffe's producing tenure, Moffat turned attention to the cast of that era, particularly praising Baker, Elizabeth Sladen, and Ian Marter's Tardis team of the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, and Harry Sullivan. He went so far as to say Doctor Who hasn't a better cast, explaining:

Steven Moffat: I know this was a legacy of the previous producer, but...

Doctor Who franchise actor Samuel West has expressed interest in playing the villainous Morbius opposite Ncuti Gatwa's fifteenth Doctor and hopes the character will return to the series. West most recently voiced Morbius for Big Finish's Dark Gallifrey audio series.

Doctor Who's 60th-anniversary special, "The Giggle," saw the Toymaker return, fueling the hope that other iconic villains will eventually feature. West told RadioTimes.com about his desire to reprise the role of Morbius on screen, "I'd love to. I hope I will be on the list for people should he return... It's always hard to know what sort of shape he's going to be in. It may be that they need somebody who looks different, sounds different, or moves differently, but Morbius is the gift that keeps on giving. He keeps coming back, and it seems impossible to annihilate him."
