Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Ma Baker appears to be a parallel counterpart of real world 1930s crimelord Ma Barker, given their resemblance and names. While their names aren't an exact match, it was likely intended to be a joke also about Ma Baker being a genderbent Tom Baker cosplayer.
- The 1977 Boney M single "Ma Baker" told a fictionalised account of Ma Baker's life of crime.
Information from invalid sources[[edit] | [edit source]]
For Doctor Who Magazine, the Dr Who Editor suggested to Kev F Sutherland and another individual that they should make a comic strip about the incumbent Doctor, Baker. Repeatedly misinterpreting who the the Editor was referring to, Kev and the man listed off numerous Bakers, including "Ma Baker [by] Boney M", until the Sixth Doctor himself became so insulted he burst through the comic itself to tell them that he was the most "influential" Doctor, segueing into a song about himself, to the tune of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".
