Tom Baker wants to return to 'Doctor Who' - but only if he can vet the script.

Despite recent rumours all the actors who have played the title character will be reunited in a special episode for charity, Tom, insists he has not yet been approached to appear.

The veteran actor - who played the Time Lord in nearly 200 episodes across the 70s and 80s - said he would be open to the idea, but would want to be involved with the script.

He said: "They should try and do something like that and they should get a nice jolly script.

They should try and do something like that and they should get a nice jolly script.I don't know what it will be like and they haven't approached me yet and I'd want to have some say about the script.

The 75-year-old star says he is amazed at how much the show has changed, citing the number of love scenes given to current Doctor David Tennant, believing that is what draws fans, rather than its special effects.

He added: "I think it is quite difficult now to surprise an audience with special effects, you may please an audience, but visually you can't actually amaze an audience can you?

"In a sense you just watch them trying, but if people can appear and disappear and walk through walls and disappear and then carry on fencing or kissing girls, that amazes me.

"Of course they didn't do that in my days, and I don't want to be a reactionary old fart about that, but in my days, it never occurred to me to try and kiss a girl."
