I rather enjoyed watching some of the 6th Doctor stories, especially 'Revelation of the Daleks' and 'The Mark of the Rani'. However I just completely avoided 'The Twin Dilemma' in all its forms (SHUDDER! )

I thought Colin was a fine Doctor and had some excellent stories such as 'Vengeance on Varos', 'The Two Doctors' 'Revelation of the Daleks' as well as a few others. He's vastly underrated and it's only a pity he wasn't around longer to develop the character as he wished.

I quite liked how Colin Baker turned out, despite that awful coat! He was able to take the madness and eccentricity that was bountiful under Tom Baker and run with it. You could see that he was having fun with it as well, which warmed me to him a great deal.

Colin Baker was able to portray a different kind of Doctor in the Big Finish audios, the best of those is (I think) 'The Apocaypse Element'. Also at least you don't have to look at Mel in the audios!

The 6th Doctor was underrated by quite a few, I wonder why the BBC didn't fire Michael Grade first?

The Twin Dilemma is actually good.

The Twin Dilemma is actually good. I think it suffered somewhat because it was at the end of the series and so there was not as bigger budget to make it with as there could have been.

It was too short and ended before we saw Colin Baker "tone" down a bit - like what William Hartnell did over time.

Yes there is always talk of how Colin Baker was intending to 'tone down' the doctor as the series went on, but personally I don't think it would have improved his audience.

He had a couple mediocre stories. Unfortunately for him, his writers gave him some really bad stories. His acting could also have been better.

The scripts were bad but he was more entertaining than the original doctor.

The Twin Dilemma is actually good. Why do I sense a stunned silence coming on?
