In 16th Century England, Tom Canty (Mark Lester) is a poor young man living a miserable existence as a thief under his abusive father (Ernest Borgnine). When an attempt at picking the pocket of a nobleman ends badly, he finds himself running right into Edward, the Prince of Wales (also Mark Lester), who notices a stunning resemblance to Tom. When the two decide to play a prank and switch places, it ends up having unintended consequences; both now have to live each other lives and the only one who knows about the prank – King Henry VIII (Charlton Heston) – ends up dying, leaving Tom as the heir apparent to the throne. It falls to Edward and Sir Miles Hendon (Oliver Reed) to make things right before the joke’s on the entire kingdom!

Doctor Who all have their favorite actors who have served as the title character. Yet above them all, Tom Baker, who played the fourth Doctor from 1974 to 1981, seems to occupy a space reserved only for the most revered. It is no wonder: Given how the previous Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee, practically saved the series from cancellation with his action-oriented depiction, it was going to take a big personality to fill his shoes. Baker obliged.
