- His curly hair
- His staring eyes
- His manic, toothy grin
- His powerful, velvety voice
- His iconic, long-running role as The Doctor.
- He is the longest-serving actor to have portrayed the Doctor in Doctor Who (1963), having played the role for seven seasons from 1974 to 1981, a total of 172 episodes. In second place is his immediate predecessor, Jon Pertwee, who played the Third Doctor for five seasons from 1970 to 1974.
- During his youth he was an apprentice monk for six years and lived in a monastery on the island of Jersey.
- The famous scarf he wore as the Doctor was created by accident. James Acheson, the costume designer assigned to his first story (and a future BAFTA and Academy Award winner), had provided far more wool than was necessary to the knitter, Begonia Pope; Pope knitted all the wool she was given. Baker decided to wear it anyway.
- He did not start acting until he was in his thirties.
- Laurence Olivier suggested him for the role of Grigori Rasputin in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), having worked with him at the National Theatre.
- I wasn't interested in novelty. I was looking for good drama.
- To want to be an actor, especially these days, is to be ill.
- I am a one success man.
- I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people.
- The Old Testament is my favourite science fantasy reading.
