Colin Baker | Conversations with Jeff Weeks | WSRE 

Only Colin Baker can pull of wearing a casual outfit with Crocs on, this man is a legend.

What a lovely man Colin Baker is. A great actor too & of course, a lovely Doctor.

If only they had trusted Colin to craft his own Doctor. He is so good as the Doctor it hurts how little backing the BBC gave him.

Seriously underrated Doctor. Vengeance on Varos and Revelation of the Daleks are two of the best classic serials.

God I hope he lives for another 10 years... I will be so upset when he passes...

Great interview. I am thankful that Big Finish has given Colin the opportunity to flesh out his Doctor a lot more and give him a proper send off

I met Colin Baker in 2011. Really nice man. Good sense of humour.

The first Doctor I ever saw was Peter Davison but Collin Baker was and always be " my " Doctor .

Nice man…serious props to Colin Baker….

This was marvelous! Colin Baker sure is a fantastic storyteller. And his audio drama work for Big Finish, still playing the Sixth Doctor, is astonishingly good.

Great Interview, Colin Baker is great and he is one of my favourite Doctors. Listen to his Big Finish Audio work if you haven't done so to hear the 6th Doctors character.

Love the crocs Colin! ;) What a wonderful man and a great interview!

Love you Colin!!!

I’m his number one fan of the Doctor

He's looking good, nice one Colin.

A lovely man and a great Dr Who

I would love to see Colin reprise "Maxill" on Doctor Who, and then regenerate, as his "final performance" for the show. It would bookend nicely.

I've always wondered what Colin Baker's Twitter name meant. Now, I understand. 'Sawbones' = Doctor, and I'm assuming he meant 'Hex' to mean 'six' but actually 'Hexa-' means 'six', not "Hex" -- like in "hexadecimal". Still, a very cool name and interview. I was utterly captivated the whole time and learned some things too.

Awesome, now I finally know what Colin's twitter handle means. I never knew.

Colin baker was a great 6th doctor and 7th Sylvester McCoy was a good doctor And I never missed the 6th doctor episodes.

I loved seeing him and Nicola Bryant (in different episodes) in Star Trek Continues. I also loved the bit where he and Bryant are in a holding cell. Baker: So, what are you in for? Bryant: Marrying Brian Blessed. Baker: (pause) Fair enough.

Colin Baker is one of the best people ever to have existed.

Colin Baker is one of my most favourite doctors. Here he comes across as a very benevolent, sparky and deeply generous man. I wish him so well and I really hope he has some truly marvellous acting roles ahead of him. He was certainly good at Richmond Theatre in South West London where he played in Aykbourne's bedroom farce and Inspector Morse in a special Morse play. It was only a ten minute bus journey to see him. The actors for Leila and Red Romana also turned up at that theatre but not in the same shows as Colin. K9 though did not make an appearance. I will also remember Colin as Dr Dudgen - Tom Dudgens father in swallows and amazons forever. That was a marvellous programme for children of all ages about children sailing and having adventures on the Norfolk Broads. Colin was as lovable in that as he was in Doctor Who. What also comes across, especially with the American interviewer, is just how wonderfully English Colin's sense of humour is and just how English Dr Who is as a TV show. Star Wars is supremely American. Dr Who is wonderfully English. It couldn't be conceived anywhere else in the world.

Thank u Colin baker . For all did.

Socks and crocks. What a statement

Still an eccentric dresser, those shoes

Colin is hugely skilled, but he arrived at a perilous time for the show. In retrospect I think they were right to push the envelope and it has certainly lasted as a result, but I don't think the wider audience (usually the more senior audience - I recall a letter in the Dr Who Appreciation Society newsletter describing him as a 'fat pantomime dame') really was. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Colin Baker is an English actor... why do Americans insist on categorising people with this unspecific, umbrella term, 'Britain'? England is a country and has a rich, varied history and has contributed a great deal to civilisation - I think its only right to acknowledge it.

Doctor Who has STOPPED airing in the PBS in the mid 90s and in the 2010s they are interviewing a Doctor?!?! Lovely Chap and he did well in few of the stories he starred in. If only they had much better writers and Michael Grade mine his own business and let Who ran.

oh my christ he's got crocs on

He actually writes and lives in the town I was born in. And it's very hilly. So you could say his career has a lot of ups and downs.

Colin Baker rocking up to the interview wearing Crocs.A true lad. On the other hand, I think he has misunderstood the people he thinks he is agreeing with on the subject of Jodie Whittaker/Chris Chibnall’s Doctor Who. I respect his enjoyment of the new series however when he says “She’s the first Doctor I’ve been attracted to” it shows he doesn’t know the values of the other supporters of the new series. While many people dislike it based on quality issues in writing snd performance, the remaining supporters support based on the improved cinematography, special effects, production values and most insidiously, political affiliation. I know for a fact that Colin’s comment on Jodie Whittaker would be labelled “objectification” by a majority of new series supporters as the new series does feature left wing opinions. Arachnids in the UK features an irrelevant Trump metaphor, two episodes are devoted to Rosa Parks and the partition in India respectively (while these are relevant, significant and important historical moments, they do show a more socially minded side to the new series, as these episodes are better suited to exploration without sci fi elements and the Doctor Who format, and the fact that Dr Who was wedged into these historic events/that these historic events were wedged into the series shows the new direction’s placing of subject matter and representation above story) and the marketing featured heavy handed feminism metaphors such as breaking the glass ceiling and taglines like “its about time”, similar to the marketing for “Captain Marvel” (another cosmetically female character who’s approach caused controversy and divided fanbases). Similar to Colin I actually don’t have any strong political opinions. I believe in freedom of speech, equal treatment for all, enviromentalism and I’m not a huge fan of guns either. I also think the Doctor could be portrayed by a woman brilliantly and hasn’t been yet. But I can easily pick up on political ideology in media and you can tell based on people who dont like Jodie’s series for the production value and increased budget, and Colin’s comment, that Colin doesn’t understand who he’s getting into bed with. Oh i yearn for the days before peoples words were picked apart in the comments

Why oh why wear crocs

Does this guy make spaghetti westerns?

Colin seems nice, but his support for Whittaker/Chibnall shows that he's just happy to no longer be the worst rated Doctor in fan opinion. Lol

Love this guy but cannot accept the doctor as a woman

I think the argument for the female Doctor Who has already been proven to be a complete disaster for the story and franchise, but please by all means try again lol
