The letter arrived just when Slater was looking for a person to recommend to [[Barry Letts]] and [[Terrance Dicks]], who were effectively in charge of the casting, to play the [[Fourth Doctor]]. Conveniently, Baker was then appearing in ''{{w|The Golden Voyage of Sinbad}}'', which was playing in a cinema proximate to [[BBC Television Centre]]. Slater recommended that Letts and Dicks go there to see if they thought, like him, that Baker would make an ideal [[the Doctor|Doctor]]. Liking what they saw, they cast Baker as the Fourth Doctor shortly thereafter.<ref>[http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/462127/ Tom Baker at screenonlin.org.uk]</ref><ref>[http://www.bfi.org.uk/features/interviews/baker.html Mark Gatiss interview of Tom Baker]</ref><ref>[http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/yyy.html Shannon Sullivan's take on ''The Monster of Peladon'']</ref>
