Colin Baker 1984-1986

The Sixth Doctor was problematic. A complete contrast to the gentle, kindly Fifth Doctor. Arrogant, self-absorbed, stubborn, childish, argumentative and tasteless were all adjectives that could be applied. Even unlikeable or loathesome. Most of all his impatience with everyone, his companions especially, never quite sat right with anyone. But even at his most irrational he was determined to defeat evil in whatever form it took. He had a sense of right and wrong that was absolute. As the character developed he did prove to be a Doctor who gained the loyalty and trust of the innocent just like all those who went before him.
