Right. There's been a whole lot of talk about Colin Baker, the 6th Doctor being the most unpopular Doctor ever. Needless to say, I don't agree razz
You get some people who say "Well, David Tennant and Christopher are definitely the best Doctors!".
I'm sorry, but of course they are if they're the only ones you've seen! I'll accept them saying that If I have solid proof that they have seen the old episodes! XD
Favorite Doctors are definitely 6th, 5th, and 8th for me. What does everyone else think?

So I saw a bit of that interview (thanks for the link, Triska!), and... wow... Colin looks... older. Nicola, on the other hand, still looks surprisingly hot.

Anyway, everyone's got a different opinion on who was the best/worst Doctor. Me, I don't really mind who's in the role... what matters most to me is the stories he's in. In the Sixth Doctor's case, there were only 3 stories I actually enjoy rewatching: Attack of the Cybermen, Vengeance on Varos, and Revelation of the Daleks (though I find the DJ and that psycho stalker mortician woman to be tremendously annoying). That's the fewest out of any Doctor.

...though, in retrospect, considering he only had two seasons, maybe that's not so bad after all.

I've had problems deciding on my favorites, but they seem to be Doctors Two through Seven. I think the actors did a fantastic job, even if some of the stories...well...weren't exactly the best. There aren't many stories I don't like, and it's mostly because of the performances, not the plots. My favorite right now is Peter Davison's Doctor. He's so human in a sort of sweet way.

Thanks, Triska! I agree that that interview was great.

They mention in the interview that the writing in that time was really bad. After watching it all the way through I felt kinda bad for Colin. He DID get his dangerous Doctor. However..... A: he got the exact opposite in clothing style from what he wanted. B: Stuck with really bad writing.
But at least he got along well with the actress. After she discovered that Peter was just playing with her when they were talking about who was going to take over as the Doctor.

Colin Baker wasn't my favourite Doctor, but I will say that he is underrated. It's not his fault that some of the scripts of that time were piles of piss!

By the way, I actually like the DJ in Revelation of the Daleks (although I'm not sure why...)

I never really liked Colin Baker I thought his Doctor was very arrogant and there was just something about him that made me very angry at him sweatdrop The only thing I liked about him was the fact that he liked cats. Which is really funny since David Trents Doctor said that he hated them after new earth lol
