Got me beat, as the Doctor from my personal Golden Age of SF was Jon Pertwee.

Heard about this programme via the sadly less than charitable
reader-feedback comments on The _Guardian's_ review of Torchwood
(http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/organgrinder/2006/10/farewell_doctor_who_hello_capt.html):

   Sam Wollaston writes in today's Guardian that, after three hours of
   Robin Hood, he has noticed that it is rubbish, and he issues a
   correction and an apology. Sam, you need to check your meds. Still,
   you liked Torchwood, so you should be okay.

and

   Robin Hood, Robin Hood
   Riding through the Glen.
   Biggest load of horse manure
   Since I don't know when.
   Fearfully bad,
   Many miles from good,
   Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood.

I'm liking Torchwood, too.  (Amazing reception I'm getting on BBC3, here
in Menlo Park.  Must be a lucky aerial, or something.)  Welsh accents
are starting to sound normal.  Should I be worried?
