In Pyramids of Mars, Sarah chews the Doctor out over the death of Laurence Scarman but he correctly points out that countless billions more lives are at stake here.
The writer, Robert Holmes, was drawing from his WWII experiences as, to him, the same principle applied to Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the Allied bombing of Germany: thousands of lives to save millions.

Yet you can tell he still feels bad for Lawrence's death, not to mention the others that died.
Compare that to the way he acted at the end of Horror Of Fang Rock. Rodney is absolutely right here. The Doctor SHOULD have done more than spout some rubbish poetry (that really had nothing to do with this tragedy) and comment on Leela's eyes.
Now, I'm not expected a full eulogy. But, geez, Doctor, would a few kind words to the the dead of Fang Rock have killed you, Doctor?

Tom Baker's morals weren't exactly good either. Baker clearly had less respect for Graham Williams as producer than he had for his latest tea bag as prime minister of Peru.

Yeah, Baker threatened to quit every year, and Williams begged him not to.
When Baker made the same threat to JNT, JNT basically said, "Okay, Tom, it's been nice working with you."
