Doctor Who Does Roland Rat Impression (Colin Baker - 1986)

I remember watching this back in '86 and thought it was really funny.
I found it online, I didn't create the original recording, so many thanks to whoever originally converted this from VHS.

what's even more weirder is how colin's hair just matches the background color

I noticed that too lmao

[@UnchainedEruption]

Very well acted, which is no surprise considering this is Colin Baker.

[@alternatethirteenth5594]

Colin casually trying to murder the rat on air. Brilliant

0:42 the doctor made my laugh hard

[@liamsefton6781]

AMAZING! :L Judging by his tie and the blaster this must have been filmed during a break from 'Terror of the Vervoids'.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I met Colin 25 years after he appeared as The Doctor on Roland Rat The Series. He was nice and has a good sense of humor.

[@theamazingbraydan8553]

Daniel guess u r a fan of doctor who as well as me

[@MacJaxonManOfAction]

This is quite possibly the most 1986 video in existence.

[@TheSkully343]

0:42 I don't know why but Colin Baker's expression just continues to baffle me in an entertaining way.

[@ikol458]

Across immeasurable distances in space, through the vast tracts of time... Amongst the furthest flung of the galaxies. I have met with the strangest creatures in the universe: Daleks, Cybermen, even the dreaded Wogan from the planet Shepherd's Bush... And long green slimy things, with tentacles and stingers, and strange orifices that leak unpleasant liquids... And now, BBC Three presents the slimiest of them all: Roland Rat, The Series... *DJYEHHHH!* Oh! Uh, you have been watching... Roland Rat! The series. And now back to BBC One for Doctor Who: *The* series... Rubbish! (Fire and miss) -The Sixth Doctor, 1986

[@ZidaneWarner]

And this is why six is my favorite classic Doctor.

[@timelord1855]

6th Doctor, that was Roland Rat "the series" and now back to BBC 1 for Doctor Who "The Series". Roland Rat, Rubbish 6th Doctor, (Laser blast.) this cracks me up 😂

[@philipmonihan8222]

Ya see? Ya see? Colin Baker could have been a GREAT Doctor. It was the writing that let him down!

[@tyunglebower8582]

If his face at :43 had been the one they used in his Doctor Who opening...

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Colin's grin at 1:01 is priceless.

[@abrakadabra6364]

haha. i love Six x3

colin baker should've absolutely been a show host. I say should've because nowadays he gives off fun uncle vibes

I totally agree. Series 11 with Jodie Whittaker was the worst season ever.

BBC Three was around in 1986? Wow!

[@EuanGilmour95]

BBC Three wasn't around in 1986, it launched in 2003 this was just a mock. the identity is based off the BBC Two ident used at the time

[@Tulf42]

+EuanGilmour95 Oh I see it was an official spoof. Of course I knew BBC3 wasn't around back then, I just didn't realise about the ident thing. Thanks by the way.

I asked him (CB not RR) what he remembered about this at a convention once hoping for some behind the scenes goss, maybe an anecdote or two. But he didn't remember anything about it, other than that it happened.

The original BBC 3. Remember some presenters would get a custard pie thrown in their face

It was a fictional BBC Three before it becoming the official television channel in 2003. I hope BBC Three can showcasing this clip ahead of its relaunch on 1 February this year.

Funny. Why did Colin Baker never get any real tv work after Doctor Who?

[@mushroomhead3619]

Because he told the truth about Jimmy Saville and the BBC pedo ring didn’t like it.

wubbish!!! 83

[@Artisan1979]

1:01 That is exactly how I feel about these six doctors run. Completely rubbish LOL. Well, safe for trial of the time lord but the rest of it is just rubbish. Marketing stunts like this shows how low things are becoming to the end of the first series
