I was under the impression that the 21st century Doctors commenting on their body parts soon after regeneration, as well as hating goodbyes are purely a NuWho characteristic. But, I saw a clip of Robot, which is Tom Baker’s first full story as the Doctor. And, in that episode, Four looks in the mirror and says, “the nose is a definite improvement”, and even asks Harry Sullivan what he thought of the ears. And Four even says, “I hate goodbyes”. So, Tom Baker’s Doctor is one reference for the characterization of NuWho Doctors. It is no surprise at all that Four is the most respected and love Doctor in the history of the show.
