He just suddenly seems like the most British Doctor.

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

That's true, but that's quite a statement when his predecessor dressed exclusively in cricket gear.

[@WimpyKelv12]

His "Britishness" sticks out due to having an American companion.

The most underrated Dr. of them all! Loved him!

[@calumbeattie5337]

He was. But thanks to the audio plays (and him now being in great stories) Colin Baker has topped a number of "best doctor" polls and is the current honorary president of the Doctor Who appreciation society- a position previously held by Jon Pertwee and Nicholas Courtney. So it's good to see him finally get the recognition he deserves!

[@stevengabbard930]

I loved him, too. The last of the classic doctors as far as I was concerned. Sylvester McCoy's doctor never worked for me. Colin Baker's tenure suffered from a lot of weak scripts. Deserved better.

[@novawolf_gaming]

[@gazda69]

Reminds me of how Ryan had his catchphrase "Oh My Days!" at the beginning but it was quickly forgotten about. It appears a few times in Series 11 but it's more prevalent in the books.

I’ve heard that the BigFinish audiobooks with the Six Doctor really helped round out his character/made him more likable… Additionally, there’s even an Unbound Doctor audiobook series where Four makes the choice to connect the wires to destroy the Dalek nursery at their very beginning and then ultimately (after losing Sarah Jane and Harry to adult Daleks shooting them) has to regenerate into a War Doctor with some help from Gallifrey (and Karn I think) and this Unbound War Doctor is actually Colin Baker’s incarnation…

Those of us who were around at the time picked up on this in his first series. After all, didn't Peri say "I..I..I..." after Davison regenerated into Colin? The Doctor was repeating Peri's reaction (subconsciously by the Doctor, but deliberately by the writers). You're not telling us anything new.

[@rnw2739]

No one has to convince you. The fact it ran for 26 years and words like 'Tardis' and 'Dalek' are known even by non fans is proof enough. Not to mention that feeble, imitation series you love, wouldn't even exist without it, speaks for itself. Now you can deny those facts but doing so would make you appear a bit simple. Mind you, you think Classic Who is unwatchable so you have already given that impression..
