The 25 of August, 1975 edition of the '''''Disney Time''''' programme (a holiday schedule filler produced by the [[Disney|Walt Disney Company]], in which clips from both new releases and re-releases of various animated and live-action Disney films were linked by new footage from celebrities) was presented not by [[Tom Baker]], but by the [[Fourth Doctor]] as played by Tom Baker. The show started with the Doctor arriving at a Disney theatre via the TARDIS, presenting several Disney clips from the past and future, before leaving again. | The 25 of August, 1975 edition of the '''''Disney Time''''' programme (a holiday schedule filler produced by the [[Disney|Walt Disney Company]], in which clips from both new releases and re-releases of various animated and live-action Disney films were linked by new footage from celebrities) was presented not by [[Tom Baker]], but by the [[Fourth Doctor]] as played by Tom Baker.
