I know right!?

Sixie is so under appreciated.

We see the birth of what would eventually lead to the Twelfth Doctor in that spot of dialogue...

Posting this shortly after the Thirteenth Doctor's announcement. She needs to have a moment like this. She needs to ensure the fans she's the Doctor and everything will be okay.

That reminds me of oh you redecorated I don't like it

Honestly, i wish that he got another chance to be the doctor. (He looks different enough to be a different regeneration.)

I wonder who sacked him **cough** micheal grade **cough**

He was the worst doctor if u like him your not a real doctor who fan

@@ultrajack7736 please shut the fuck up ❤️

@@ultrajack7736 i like him. Look at Varos or Revelation of the Daleks both amazing story's. Have you even seen them? Or do you say that due to unfair criticism you heard without even watching it? I have seen his entire era and all in all i love his doctor"

***** I strongly agree. With The Twelfth Doctor it took me a few stories before I started to warm to him. Plus, sometimes what a Doctor truly is isn't clear until several stories in (The Seventh Doctor).

***** Well it sure as heck beats making the previous doctor pander to his fangirls who only liked him for his looks anyway.

+kingsboro1 The viewers own a "not like the previous one"?

Can't wait for the 13th Doctor to say this!

And another reason why the character is the least liked doctor so far

@@mushroomhead3619 Can't wait for the show to be canceled because of it.

I highly doubt that. @@1d10tcannotmakeusername

@@sillygoose635 And I highly doubt that you have any speck of intelligence.

Trent Kinsey He can ACT?? I'd say it's more of a passable impersonation of William Hartnell. As a Chris McWilliams himself quoted from The Twin Dilemma, "Every six Doctors they get it right."

blackpeter70 What the hell does Colin Baker's Doctor have to do with Hartnell? Hartnell was a bumbling old man with sharp wits who happened to be at the right time at the right place. Colin's Doctor was more Blackadder-as-the-Doctor, a hero who set his own rules.

DarthRushy Sorry mate, but all I saw were the same mannerisms (as in the his hands forever gripped to his coat) , voice inflections, and the the same boring arrogance as William Hartnell.

blackpeter70 As far as I've seen, he usually keeps his hands in his pockets, never speaks in a disjointed manner("Hmm, oh yes, my boy, yes...") and he is far, far more pompous than Hartnell ever was. And why would you say Hartnell was boring? He was one of the best Doctors IMO. He felt like a real person and you have to account that as far as he was concerned, Earth was completely alien. He genuinely didn't know who to trust.

+DarthRushy That's a fine understanding of the first Doctor, sir.

Indeed.

Rodimusrocks True. But he was the worst regeneration. FAR too cruel and completely out of character. Literally to the point where the show was nearly cancelled because of him. Second shortest lifespan, too.

SomeKindaSpy ...the announcement of the intention to cancel was issued during Attack of the Cybermen, only the 2nd story of Six...the basis to cancel was based on Five's/Peter Davison's era and actually done on Seven/Sylvester McCoy's era...some of Colin's ratings were actually better than Four/Tom Baker's....one main reason the show had a reboot was Colin Baker's endless slaving away at Doctor Who conventions (more than the other Doctors) to a show that treated him abysmally and made him a scapegoat...the actual Regen of Five to Six is arguably the best, no nuclear bombs exploding, Five died from going toxic from Spectrox, he gave the antidote to Peri...

James Twelves The Sixth Doctor is tragically underrated. He had only two stories I really disliked, and I hear he's amazing in the audio stories.

2150dalek I want to see that story mainly for the Dalek Time Controller, whom I've heard good things about, but only seen in Lucie Miller/To The Death. I now have another good reason to find it and listen to it.

***** The Twelveth Doctor and Clara's relationship has reminded me so much of the Sixth Doctor and Peri's.

I don't think 12 tried to Kill Clara right after he regenerated though.

+Linda Taylor that's right, yes. But I was talking about Clara and Peri's thoughts.

@@colinmcphan No, but he abandoned Clara twice, spent most of Season 8 being a total dick to her, and then had the audacity to whine (whilst projecting it onto Clara for good measure) when she finally snapped and gave him a taste of his own medicine after Danny died. Season 8 Peter Capaldi was barely the Doctor at all. I bet if Colin Baker's Doctor ever interacted with him, he'd straight up accuse him of being the Valeyard.

same whether you like it or not :)

I was expecting something terrible according to what I had heard about him, but when I saw his performance I was shocked! I really like this doctor, is original and endearing in his own way. He is the Loki of the doctors.

He's my favorite too

He isn't my favourite, but that's the beauty of the format of Doctor Who. You may not take to a Doctor, but given a little patience and tolerance you may find a Doctor you do like down the line. I love coffee revels, not everyone does. It's a matter of taste. Plus, I now recognise that bad scripts, small cheques from the BBC who want to kill off the science fiction money pit and a show runner in the wrong job, it can all contribute.

@@LoriCiani I only focus on story. Haven't had the privilege of seeing full episodes before 2005 yet. 8 ep into Jodie Whitaker but at the end of the day from my experience I loved every single doctor and you just need to pay attention to the story that's also laid out around them because then you forget to appreciate what it really means for a time lord to regenerate and to change in many ways and not be in control of it. Each regeneration from the moment they are born till the moment they're gone they tend to have amazing character development showing different stages of emotions and ways to cope with it all as well as based on somewhat recent experiences.

I don't think Colin was as bad as people say but Tom Baker is the one, for me, that brought out the alien nature the best and at times seemed truly like a mad man in a box. Just my view though.

Hedgehoginthetardis only 2 of his stories are actually bad, this and timelash, three are good, vengeance, revelation and mindwarp, the rest are all meh. I'd say this was an average era with a very interesting doctor

"I'm the Doctor, I have lived for over two thousand years, and I've made a lot of mistakes"

Truth be told, I actually found Twin Dilemma more coherent than Attack of the Cybermen - which was chosen as the favourite for Doctor Who 40.

Hedgehoginthetardis I defended JNT when almost no one else did, but even I have my limits. They were crossed after I saw Twin Dilemma.

Tolerance for the intolerant? He was being rude, and that's all she said. He needed the lesson more here

I really like your view of this scene! It gives it more depth and makes me think about the characters more.

I can't blame peri for her reaction though. The 5th doctor literally died saving her life only to rehenerste into the a complete stranger with a bad to volatile attitude from her point of view. To be honest I'm surprised she didn't leave the tardis. I personally found the 6th doctors relationship to be abusive.

Nicolas Natalini I love him! Underrated Doctor and actor

Actor? Yes. Doctor? No

I mean, he’s okay, but just okay.

Benny boy 1138 I like the work he’s done with BigFinish.

OfficialCDJ I liked The Twin Dilemma as well. Take note how the 12th Doctor acts in a very similar manner to the 6th.

***** I don't even think most of his stories were that bad. Yes, The Twin Dilemma and Timelash were awful, but I really enjoyed Attack of the Cybermen, Vengeance on Varos, Mark of the Rani, The Two Doctors, Revelation of the Daleks, and especially Trial of a Time Lord.

DalekTheSupreme Remember, it was not the question of just Colin's story quality that contributed to his problems. There was a big hue and cry at the time against violence on TV as well as meddling with the airing dates and format of the show. Not to mention down right animosity against him personally by BBC executives.

***** I agree. He was a joy to watch on screen. stramayne I mean in the general fanbase.

OfficialCDJ Dued, I Toootally agree with you

McCoy didn’t really suffer from weak scripting. In fact, in his final two years the writing was the best thing.

ThePhantomGamer But Colin is better.

Peri: I'm sorry, she's not normally a woman...

***** I am repressing my memories about this story.

It's a requirement to being English.

Well done :)

+veggiet2009 The New Who series has too many crescendos. If everything is a crescendo, then crescendos lose their meaning.

Colin Baker was much better at being an alien than Peter Capaldi. I could easily buy that Colin was from another planet but Peter felt like a sociopathic narcissist who just PRETENDED to be from another planet as an excuse for his behaviour.

The twin dilemma is my favourite Dr Who episode.

twin dilemma is boring

ginonovanta definitely my favourite as well

I do admit he is a great doctor, especially in his big finish audios. He's just not my cup of tea.

He is my favorite, too.

Love the exchange of smiles at the end. 6 was nowhere near the persona of 12. 12 was just plain grumpy and mean. He didn't even like kids! I especially did not like his horrific attitude toward a post traumatic stressed veteran. I truly liked 6. He was ill-served. I didn't like 12. I've liked 1- 11. But not him. He's made me give up on the future of the program.

@@russellrubert833 You have to give Twelve another try. He goes from a grump that doesn't like hugs or kids to taking a class on a field trip in the TARDIS. He treats Danny poorly because he was also the traumatised veteran and was using Danny to project, but he gained respect for him as he saw his actions. Rather than have him be happy-go-lucky and do good things to play God or feel special, Twelve kept going even when he was souring in his words, "because it's decent! Because it's right!" If nothing else, at least watch his regeneration speech because it shows the culmination of all of his character development and the development of The Doctor as a whole.

@@1d10tcannotmakeusername Go on as you wish, but no one really will care, whether you like it, or not.

@@sillygoose635 And you're still butthurt, aren't you?

Matt Acta Six was an ego maniac. Adored being the center of attention and didn't care what anyone thought about him. The costume suits him perfectly. As he does mellow then yes, the alternate blue costume makes a little more sense, though.

***** It grows on you. The concept behind it is pretty strong; a character who doesn't care about what people think of him but demands to be noticed. I think some less vibrant variations would have helped for the more serious stories.

***** I liked The Sixth Doctor's outfit because it was so distinctive. Among all of the Doctor's his is the one that most stands out (you can not not see it!). Plus, since The Doctor got it out of the TARDIS' storage, that means that...somewhere...it is normal clothing.

Bryan Braddock I don't mind the costume. It actually looks good on Colin Baker, and fits in well with his personality.

Bryan Braddock Did he? I always thought JNT defended it because he loved Hawaiian shirts so much.

Perfect comment located.

It's the writers fault if they wrote the stories better he probably would be more likeable

Chris McWilliams If it was, it would've been totally understandable. Much like the initial whining over Capaldi's casting after two very popular Doctors, Colin Baker probably had some naysayers at the start due to him coming after two very popular Doctors. That's kind of ironic, now that I think about it. Peter Capaldi came after two very popular Doctors, the first being considered by many fans to be the best ever and the second being the youngest to date. And Colin Baker came after two very popular Doctors, the first being considered by many fans to be the best ever and the second having been the youngest to that date.

retnavybrat Yes, I remember reading about Colin Baker's issues.

Now, with the refinement of his character in the Big Finish audios, he is one of the best incarnations of the doctor (and my personal favourite). Likewise Peter Capaldi has the potential to be the best new who doctor yet. (In my opinion he already is.) As Colin said: "Every six doctors they get it right" ;)

I've always been partial to Sylvester McCoy for some reason. They say your favorite is typically your first but not in this case. Tom Baker was my first and I get he's popular but it was way too silly for my taste (especially near the end as he got more and more sway to put more humor in). I don't like so much humor in my drama, it kills the drama. The occasional joke here and there is fine but Baker went way over the line in the course of his run and it ruined any attempts at drama whatsoever. McCoy's Doctor was dark, mysterious and unpredictable. Sure he did silly sometimes but it was more a disguise, a part he played than when Baker did it.

Crabby Old Gamer Yeah, the new series has been a bit of a mixed bag. With the first new one I couldn't stop thinking about "28 Days Later". :) He really should've grown his hair out or something.

Very true. Jodie Whitaker IS the Doctor. Whether you, me or anyone else likes it.. or not :)

Almost exactly what Colin tweeted during the announcement of Jodie Whittaker becoming the 13th Doctor

Huh?

94830 086436 What they're saying is basically that (in the words of Colin Baker) "Every six[doctors], they get it right [the portrayal]." Both 6 and 12 are arguably the rudest doctors.

I'd say 3 and 9 would be the next rudest two, so it's kinda divisible by 3.

lavaskater Ten was rude. Rude and not ginger.

Capaldi comes off really abrasive in his first season but starting with his second he's a lot of fun and hilarious, like the badass time Lord Victorious of Tennant mixed with light hearted guitar playing sonic shades wearing fun. I love his last two seasons

That definitely isn't what every other comment is on almost every Doctor Who YT video ever. The writing was good :)

They told him he was going to wearing a black leather jacket and pants originally.

@Adrian Bingham actually it was Colin himself who wanted that but the BBC wanted something more glamorous, and i dont mind the outfit like most people. Thankfully years later in the new show Christopher Eccelston used the black jacket

Colin Baker somehow managed to make that sort of thing seem charming though. Peter Capaldi just came across as a total dick.

Er, this is his first episode.

I think Season 8 succeeded DESPITE Peter Capaldi, not because of him. And I beg to differ on him warming up faster than Colin Baker did. Baker may not have had as much good writing as Capaldi did but he slipped into the role of the Doctor effortlessly. Capaldi would have been perfect for fighting in the Time War (as long as John Hurt did Seasons 8, 9 and 10 instead) or even better, portraying an incarnation of the Valeyard, but I didn't see the Doctor until well into Season 9.

@@tomnorton4277 I mean this comment is several years old an series 9 hadn't even aired at that point. since then I've been able to watch and subsequently rewatch his three series, and honestly I still kinda stand by it though not in the same sense. Capaldi was brutal and cold in that first series, which was really cool and interesting but also a little out of nowhere, then next season he seemed to have a midlife crisis and went full goofy grandpa vibes until series 10 brought the balance between them that made him (in my opinion) a damn near perfect Doctor who had inconsistent but sometimes brilliant writing. By contrast, I've not yet gotten to Colin Baker's years on my classic watching but I know from snippets I have seen that he was always brilliant in the role, if a little callous and volitile compared to other incarnations though the callousness was present in others for sure. What I have been able to do is listen to numerous audios starring him, where he has rapidly become one of my absolute favourite Doctors particularly when paired with Evelyn who works with him much better than Peri (and I don't even dislike Peri, they just had a very hostile relationship that turned people off both of them)

Exactly, rewatching Tom Baker in Doctor Who on Twitch made me realize that he was just as rude and angry just like the 6th Doctor. He even sneaked up and grabbed one of his companions from behind with his hand over their mouth just like The 6th Doctor did here. So yeah, Colin Baker is not as bad as everyone made him out to be.

Cryer24597 Bottom 5 no particular order. Love and monsters, Underworld just ughh, Twin Dillemna, Timelash and time and the rani.

JasonJMist And in rare cases, love interests with slabs of concrete.

Delta and the Bannerman was okay, but quite inappropriately light-hearted, as that time was the start of the Great Cartmel Masterplan. Also, the Dominators and Underworld were enjoyable to me. But I guess this is because I loved the Second and Fourth Doctor. As for Love and Monsters, however, there was absolutely nothing to like in this episode Kay's "comedic" acting for a start, the Abzorbaroff(is this how you spell it?), and God, that last kissing scene really ruined this already-horrible storyline.

When I said "I've seen worse" I was referring to television in general, not just DW. But yes, I liked Twin Dilemma much more than Love and Monsters.

MrCheeseGaming Isn't that normal for everyone?

I think there is some resemblance between Capaldi's and Colin's Doctor's but after seeing a bit of all the Doctor's I think he is closer to Tom Baker's Doctor.....especially during Tom's first few years and his last.

Please tell me Colin Baker didn't actually say that. As far as I know, Peter Davison was the only living Doctor who had the balls to say that Whittaker's incarnation wasn't going to work. It's odd that the Doctor who kind of fades into the background is the one who has the most guts.

I was just thinking the same but instead playing it when Capaldi began to quiet the obsessed Smith fans.

***** Tennant bots simply refuse to admit anything before Ecclestone started his entry for the universal gurning championships is actually Doctor Who.

***** Well, Matt Smith did have a more subtle version of that scene when he confronted the Atraxi. After reviewing his past selves, he steps through the image of the Tenth Doctor and lets the Atraxi know that he is the Doctor.

Carlos Manriquez Oooh, I hated that phone call to Clara at the end of Deep Breath. It seems almost as if Moffat didn't have enough confidence in Capaldi to hold his own if he felt there was a need for his predecessor to pop up and give the audience "permission" to move on to the next Doctor.

retnavybrat I felt the exact same way about that scene.

He is to Big Finish fans but like classic who a lot of the main fandom just ignore it and focus on new who

I'm excited to see Jodie in action. :)

Not meant to be likeable?? He's always been my favorite.

Colin Baker was a better Doctor than Peter Capaldi. He knew how to balance out his darker traits right from the start while Capaldi tended to fall dangerously close to Valeyard territory. If Capaldi had been doing Colin's era, Doctor Who would have died. No Sylvester McCoy, no TV movie, no glorious revival, Capaldi would have straight up killed Doctor Who if he were in Colin Baker's place. He's a great example of why choosing lifelong fans can be a mistake.
