* JustHereForGodzilla: Many While not outright disliked, "Robot" is considered a fairly tame retread of the kinds of stories that were commonplace during the Third Doctor's era, mainly to ease the transition into a new incarnation. However, many fans agree that the big highlight of the story is its status as Creator/TomBaker's debut as the Fourth Doctor, with his reinvention of the Second Doctor's "mad hobo" characterization being considered the best reason to watch the story is Creator/TomBaker.serial.

*** The fact that a companion of the Third Doctor compares someone to James Bond is already funny after it came out that Jon Pertwee is likely one Ian Fleming's inspirations for the character, but it becomes hilarious when you take into account it happens in the very first story after the Third Doctor's tenure.
