'''Colin Baker''' (born [[8 June (people)|8 June]] [[1943 (people)|1943]]<ref>[https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2ba04a5ec1 BFI]</ref>) played the [[Sixth Doctor]] from 1984 to 1986, beginning with an appearance at the conclusion of ''[[The Caves of Androzani (TV story)|The Caves of Androzani]]'', continuing from ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]] ''to ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]''.


Before being selected to replace [[Peter Davison]] as the Doctor, Baker was an established [[television]] actor. Hhis most notable role was Paul Merroney in ''The Brothers''. Baker also guest starred as "Bayban the Butcher" in an episode of ''Blake's 7''.
He reprised the role for the 1989 stage show ''[[The Ultimate Adventure]]'' and the 1993 ''[[Children in Need]]'' special ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]'', as well as in numerous ''[[Doctor Who]]'' audio stories from [[Big Finish Productions]].


Prior to being cast as the Doctor, Baker had guest starred in the programme (as Commander [[Maxil]] in the Davison serial ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]''), the only Doctor actor to have done so prior to taking the role. At one point in the serial Maxil shoots the Peter Davison Doctor; Baker often jokes that he got the part of the Doctor by killing the incumbent.
Prior to becoming the Doctor, he was cast as Commander [[Maxil]] in ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'' and was considered for the roles of [[Arnold Jellicoe|Arnold Jellicole]] in ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', ([[REF]]: ''[[Doctor Who The Handbook: The Fourth Doctor]]'') [[Minister of Persuasion|Persuasion]] in ''[[Four to Doomsday (TV story)|Four to Doomsday]]'' ([[REF]]: ''[[TCH 34]]) and [[Roger Scobie|Scobie]], [[Andrew Bilton|Bilton]] and [[Sheard]] in [[Time-Flight (TV story)|Time-Flight]]'' ([[REF]]: [[TCH 35]]).


Baker's era was interrupted by a long hiatus, officially because the show was moved back from the spring to the autumn schedule He was ultimately dismissed from the part at the insistence of [[BBC]] management, who wanted to refresh the show. The Controller of BBC One at the time, [[Michael Grade]], criticised ''[[Doctor Who]]'', saying that the programme had become overly violent and its storylines farcical. As of 2010, he is the only actor to play the Doctor who has been fired by the BBC.
== Profile ==
Before being selected to replace [[Peter Davison]] as the Doctor, Baker was an established [[television]] actor. His most notable role was Paul Merroney in ''The Brothers''. Baker also guest starred as Bayban the Butcher in the ''[[Blake's 7 (series)|Blake's 7]]'' episode ''[[w:c:blakes7:City at the Edge of the World (episode)|City at the Edge of the World]]''.


Since leaving ''Doctor Who'' he has continued to act, mainly on the stage, where he played the Doctor again in ''[[Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure]]''. He returned to television as the Doctor in the [[1993]] charity special ''[[Dimensions in Time]]''. He has played a Doctor-like character in the [[BBV Productions]] video series ''The Stranger'',  reprised the role of the Doctor in a series of audio plays produced by [[Big Finish Productions]] and played an [[Burner Doctor|alternate version of the Doctor]] in [[BFG]]: ''[[Disassembled]]''. The audio plays are generally well received. Fans have suggested that it was bad writing that his Doctor's era suffered from, and not a lack of ability on Baker's part. In a poll conducted by ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', fans voted Baker the "greatest" of the Doctors in the audio plays.
Baker made his ''Doctor Who'' debut as Commander [[Maxil]] in ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'' in 1983. On the strength of that performance, as well as a wedding party at which he impressed producer [[John Nathan-Turner]], he was cast as the [[Sixth Doctor]] following Peter Davison's decision to leave the series. His era on ''Doctor Who'' began in 1984 and was interrupted by the show's cancellation a year later. After fan backlash, this was reduced to an eighteen-month hiatus<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-guide/doctor-who-is-axed/</ref>, ostensibly because the show was moved from the spring to the autumn schedule. In the interim, Baker voiced the Doctor in the radio drama ''[[Slipback (audio story)|Slipback]]''.


Post-''Who'' television work during the [[1990s]] included guest appearances in the BBC's medical drama ''Casualty'', Channel 4's adaptation of ''A Dance to the Music of Time''. He appeared as himself as the resident celebrity in 'Dictionary Corner' on the daytime quiz show ''Countdown'', also on Channel 4. He appeared in the first episode of ''Jonathan Creek'' ([[1997]]). He also appeared in an episode of the George Lucas TV series ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'', making him one of three classic series Doctors (after [[Tom Baker]] and [[Peter Davison]]) to appear in an American TV series after leaving the role. He also appeared in an episode of the BBC's long-running medical drama series,'' Casualty'', as a Doctorish patient named David Vincent (named after Roy Thinnes' character in ''The Invaders'' TV series) who was a UFO nut, and an episode of Al Murray's pub  sitcom, 'Time Gentlemen Please', made by Sky TV.
Following the conclusion of Season 23, Baker was dismissed as the Doctor at the insistence of [[BBC]] management, who wanted to refresh the show. The [[Controller of BBC One]] at the time, [[Michael Grade]], believed ''Doctor Who'' had become outdated, with overly violent, farcial storylines. Baker was asked to return for the [[Time and the Rani (TV story)|first serial]] of [[Season 24 (Doctor Who 1963)|the next season]] to pave the way for the next Doctor, but he declined, not wishing to miss out on other work in the meantime. He in turn offered to do the whole season and have the Doctor regenerate at the end, but was himself rejected. An interview with ''The Sun'' in which he criticised Grade<ref name=":0">https://drwhointerviews.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/colin-baker-1987/</ref> ensured he would never return.


In [[1994]], Colin Baker had the distinction of being the only Doctor to have written a ''Doctor Who'' story, penning ''[[The Age of Chaos]]'', a graphic novel published by [[Marvel UK]] featuring the Sixth Doctor and [[Frobisher]]. He also several short stories for ''Doctor Who Magazine'' and its ''Yearbook''s.
Years later, Baker would express regret for refusing the BBC's request, claiming he was being "selfish" and "not thinking about the fans".


Since the death of his son in [[1983]] he has been active in raising the profile of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome research, and is the current chairman of the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths.
As of 2022, Baker is the only actor to play the Doctor who has been fired by the BBC. Prior to his dismissal, he claimed he would gladly have done the show for as many as eight years.


Colin Baker is of no relation to [[Tom Baker]], who played the [[Fourth Doctor]] in ''Doctor Who''.
=== Post-departure ===
[[File:Dit Behind the scenes 2.jpg|thumb|left|Colin on the set of [[TV]]: ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]'')]]
Baker's post-Who filmography includes guest appearances in BBC series ''[[Casualty]]'' and ''Jonathan Creek'', [[Al Murray|Al Murray's]] sitcom ''Time Gentlemen Please'' (as Professor Baker), [[Channel 4]]'s adaptation of ''A Dance to the Music of Time'', and ''The Young [[Indiana Jones (film series)|Indiana Jones]] Chronicles''. As himself, Baker has been a 'Dictionary Corner' guest on the daytime quiz show ''[[Countdown (TV series)|Countdown]]'' and competed in [[ITV]]'s reality series ''[[I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!|I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!]]''.


Since 1995, Baker has written a column for the ''Bucks Free Press''. In 2010, [[Hirst Books]] published a volume of a hundred of these columns in  ''Look Who's Talking.'' They announced a second collection, including Baker's Doctor Who fiction entitled ''Gallimuffray''. Baker both wrote and read ''[[The Wings of a Butterfly]]'' for [[Short Trips: Volume 1]].
==== ''Doctor Who'' and Big Finish ====
Despite the circumstances of his departure from ''Doctor Who'', Baker has remained involved with the franchise. He reprised his role as the Doctor in the play ''[[The Ultimate Adventure]],'' replacing [[Jon Pertwee]], and on television in the 1993 charity special ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]''. In the [[BBV Productions]] video series ''[[The Stranger (series)|The Stranger]]'', he played the eponymous character, who was similar to the Doctor.


==External links==
Since 1999, he has acted in audio dramas produced by [[Big Finish Productions]], usually as the Doctor. Occasionally, however, he has played alternate versions of the Doctor, such as the [[Burner Doctor]] in ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'' and [[the Curator]] in ''[[Stranded]].'' In the ''[[Gallifrey (audio series)|Gallifrey]]'' story ''[[Appropriation (audio story)|Appropriation]]'', he returned to the role of Maxil for the first time since ''Arc of Infinity.''

{{Wikipedia|Colin_Baker}}
In 2015, Baker finally acted in a Sixth Doctor regeneration story, the Big Finish anthology ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure]]''. In the commentary included with the release, he remarked this finally put to bed his jest that he had never handed over the role. Baker has waited the longest of the Doctors to perform a regeneration scene, at 28 years since his exit from ''Doctor Who''; only [[Paul McGann]], who regenerated in ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' 17 years after the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|TV movie]], comes close.
 
Baker has also played himself in the context of ''Doctor Who''. In ''[[The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot (TV story)|The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot]]'', he, Peter Davison, and [[Sylvester McCoy]] attempt to appear in the 50th anniversary special ''[[The Day of the Doctor (The Zygon Isolation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', while in ''[[The Trial (webcast)|The Trial]]'', a promotional mini-episodes produced for ''Doctor Who'': ''[[The Collection]]'' — ''[[Season 23 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 23]]'' [[Blu-ray]] boxset, a [[Colin Baker (The Trial)|a properly in-universe Baker]] is put on trial for an unpaid [[parking fine]].

In 1994, Baker became the first Doctor to write a ''Doctor Who'' story, penning ''[[The Age of Chaos (comic story)|The Age of Chaos]]'', a graphic novel published by [[Marvel UK]] featuring the Sixth Doctor and [[Frobisher]]. He has since written short stories about the Sixth Doctor for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''[[Doctor Who Magazine|<nowiki/>'s]] annual ''Yearbook''s, the anthology ''[[The Target Storybook (anthology)|The Target Storybook,]]'' and [[Short Trips - Volume I|the first volume]] of Big Finish's Short Trips. It was not until the release of [[Tom Baker|Tom Baker's]] ''[[Scratchman (novelisation)|Scratchman]]'' that another Doctor would be credited for writing published ''Doctor Who'' fiction; although [[Matt Smith]] is known to have written stories featuring the Doctor in preparation for his role as the [[Eleventh Doctor]]<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8580985.stm</ref>, they were never released.

You may be looking for his DWU counterpart or the parodical version of himself from Doctor Who?.

Colin Baker (born 8 June 1943[1]) played the Sixth Doctor from 1984 to 1986, beginning with an appearance at the conclusion of The Caves of Androzani, continuing from The Twin Dilemma to The Ultimate Foe.

He reprised the role for the 1989 stage show The Ultimate Adventure and the 1993 Children in Need special Dimensions in Time, as well as in numerous Doctor Who audio stories from Big Finish Productions.

Prior to becoming the Doctor, he was cast as Commander Maxil in Arc of Infinity and was considered for the roles of Arnold Jellicole in Robot, (REF: Doctor Who The Handbook: The Fourth Doctor) Persuasion in Four to Doomsday (REF: TCH 34) and Scobie, Bilton and Sheard in Time-Flight (REF: TCH 35).

Profile[[edit] | [edit source]]

Before being selected to replace Peter Davison as the Doctor, Baker was an established television actor. His most notable role was Paul Merroney in The Brothers. Baker also guest starred as Bayban the Butcher in the Blake's 7 episode City at the Edge of the World.

Baker made his Doctor Who debut as Commander Maxil in Arc of Infinity in 1983. On the strength of that performance, as well as a wedding party at which he impressed producer John Nathan-Turner, he was cast as the Sixth Doctor following Peter Davison's decision to leave the series. His era on Doctor Who began in 1984 and was interrupted by the show's cancellation a year later. After fan backlash, this was reduced to an eighteen-month hiatus[2], ostensibly because the show was moved from the spring to the autumn schedule. In the interim, Baker voiced the Doctor in the radio drama Slipback.

Following the conclusion of Season 23, Baker was dismissed as the Doctor at the insistence of BBC management, who wanted to refresh the show. The Controller of BBC One at the time, Michael Grade, believed Doctor Who had become outdated, with overly violent, farcial storylines. Baker was asked to return for the first serial of the next season to pave the way for the next Doctor, but he declined, not wishing to miss out on other work in the meantime. He in turn offered to do the whole season and have the Doctor regenerate at the end, but was himself rejected. An interview with The Sun in which he criticised Grade[3] ensured he would never return.

Years later, Baker would express regret for refusing the BBC's request, claiming he was being "selfish" and "not thinking about the fans".

As of 2022, Baker is the only actor to play the Doctor who has been fired by the BBC. Prior to his dismissal, he claimed he would gladly have done the show for as many as eight years.

Post-departure[[edit] | [edit source]]

Colin on the set of TV: Dimensions in Time)

Baker's post-Who filmography includes guest appearances in BBC series Casualty and Jonathan Creek, Al Murray's sitcom Time Gentlemen Please (as Professor Baker), Channel 4's adaptation of A Dance to the Music of Time, and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. As himself, Baker has been a 'Dictionary Corner' guest on the daytime quiz show Countdown and competed in ITV's reality series I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

Doctor Who and Big Finish[[edit] | [edit source]]

Despite the circumstances of his departure from Doctor Who, Baker has remained involved with the franchise. He reprised his role as the Doctor in the play The Ultimate Adventure, replacing Jon Pertwee, and on television in the 1993 charity special Dimensions in Time. In the BBV Productions video series The Stranger, he played the eponymous character, who was similar to the Doctor.

Since 1999, he has acted in audio dramas produced by Big Finish Productions, usually as the Doctor. Occasionally, however, he has played alternate versions of the Doctor, such as the Burner Doctor in Disassembled and the Curator in Stranded. In the Gallifrey story Appropriation, he returned to the role of Maxil for the first time since Arc of Infinity.

In 2015, Baker finally acted in a Sixth Doctor regeneration story, the Big Finish anthology The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure. In the commentary included with the release, he remarked this finally put to bed his jest that he had never handed over the role. Baker has waited the longest of the Doctors to perform a regeneration scene, at 28 years since his exit from Doctor Who; only Paul McGann, who regenerated in The Night of the Doctor 17 years after the TV movie, comes close.

Baker has also played himself in the context of Doctor Who. In The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, he, Peter Davison, and Sylvester McCoy attempt to appear in the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor, while in The Trial, a promotional mini-episodes produced for Doctor Who: The Collection — Season 23 Blu-ray boxset, a a properly in-universe Baker is put on trial for an unpaid parking fine.

In 1994, Baker became the first Doctor to write a Doctor Who story, penning The Age of Chaos, a graphic novel published by Marvel UK featuring the Sixth Doctor and Frobisher. He has since written short stories about the Sixth Doctor for Doctor Who Magazine's annual Yearbooks, the anthology The Target Storybook, and the first volume of Big Finish's Short Trips. It was not until the release of Tom Baker's Scratchman that another Doctor would be credited for writing published Doctor Who fiction; although Matt Smith is known to have written stories featuring the Doctor in preparation for his role as the Eleventh Doctor[4], they were never released.

Personal life[[edit] | [edit source]]

Baker was first married to Liza Goddard; the two later divorced. He later remarried and had five children. His son Jack died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 1983, leading to Baker's support for the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths. His wife and four daughters, including Rosie Baker, played themselves in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.

From 1995 to 2019, Baker wrote a column for the Bucks Free Press called Look Who's Talking. In 2010, Hirst Books published a volume of a hundred of these columns, also called Look Who's Talking. In 2012, they released a second collection of Baker's writing, including his Doctor Who stories, entitled Gallimaufry.

Baker has served as honourary President of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society since Nicholas Courtney's death in 2011.

Colin Baker is of no relation to Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor.
