He is portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Colin_Baker" title="Colin Baker">Colin Baker</a>. Although his televisual time on the series was comparatively brief and turbulent, Baker has continued as the Sixth Doctor in <a href="/wiki/Big_Finish_Productions" title="Big Finish Productions">Big Finish</a>'s range of original <i>Doctor Who</i> audio adventures. </p><p>Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old <a href="/wiki/Extraterrestrials_in_popular_culture" class="mw-redirect" title="Extraterrestrials in popular culture">alien</a> <a href="/wiki/Time_Lord" title="Time Lord">Time Lord</a> from the planet <a href="/wiki/Gallifrey" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallifrey">Gallifrey</a> who <a href="/wiki/Time_travel_in_fiction" title="Time travel in fiction">travels in time</a> and space in the <a href="/wiki/TARDIS" title="TARDIS">TARDIS</a>, frequently with <a href="/wiki/Companion_(Doctor_Who)" title="Companion (Doctor Who)">companions</a>. At the end of life, the Doctor <a href="/wiki/Regeneration_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Regeneration (Doctor Who)">regenerates</a>; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor changes. Baker portrays the sixth such incarnation: an arrogant and flamboyant character in brightly coloured, mismatched clothes whose brash and often patronising personality set him apart from all his previous incarnations. Preceded in regeneration by the <a href="/wiki/Fifth_Doctor" title="Fifth Doctor">Fifth Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/Peter_Davison" title="Peter Davison">Peter Davison</a>), he is followed by the <a href="/wiki/Seventh_Doctor" title="Seventh Doctor">Seventh Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/Sylvester_McCoy" title="Sylvester McCoy">Sylvester McCoy</a>). </p><p>The Sixth Doctor appeared in three seasons. His appearance in the first of these was at the end of the final episode of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Caves_of_Androzani" title="The Caves of Androzani">The Caves of Androzani</a></i> which featured the regeneration from the <a href="/wiki/Fifth_Doctor" title="Fifth Doctor">Fifth Doctor</a> and thereafter in the following serial <i><a href="/wiki/The_Twin_Dilemma" title="The Twin Dilemma">The Twin Dilemma</a></i>, the end of that season. The Sixth Doctor's era was marked by the decision of the BBC controller <a href="/wiki/Michael_Grade" title="Michael Grade">Michael Grade</a> to put the series on an 18-month "hiatus" between seasons 22 and 23, with only one new <i>Doctor Who</i> story, <i><a href="/wiki/Slipback" title="Slipback">Slipback</a></i>, made on radio during the hiatus, broadcast as 6 parts (at 10 minutes each) on <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_4" title="BBC Radio 4">BBC Radio 4</a> from 25 July to 8 August 1985, as part of a children's magazine show called <i><a href="/wiki/Pirate_Radio_Four" title="Pirate Radio Four">Pirate Radio Four</a></i>. Colin Baker had been signed up for four years,<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHoweStammersWalker1993_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHoweStammersWalker1993-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> as the previous actor <a href="/wiki/Peter_Davison" title="Peter Davison">Peter Davison</a> had left after only three years. Due to his decidedly short screen time, the Sixth Doctor appeared with only two companions, most notably the American college student <a href="/wiki/Peri_Brown" title="Peri Brown">Peri Brown</a> (<a href="/wiki/Nicola_Bryant" title="Nicola Bryant">Nicola Bryant</a>), who had travelled with <a href="/wiki/Fifth_Doctor" title="Fifth Doctor">his previous incarnation</a>, before being briefly joined by <a href="/wiki/Mel_Bush" title="Mel Bush">Mel Bush</a> (<a href="/wiki/Bonnie_Langford" title="Bonnie Langford">Bonnie Langford</a>), a computer technician from his future who he had yet to actually meet during his trial. </p><p>Prior to its postponement, season 23 was well advanced with episodes already drafted and in at least one case distributed to cast and production. Alongside "The Nightmare Fair", "The Ultimate Evil", "Mission to Magnus", "Yellow Fever and How to Cure It", the remaining stories were still under development in a 25-minute episode format after the season was postponed. These were all dropped with the reconception of the season in mid 1985 in favour of the 14-episode story arc <i><a href="/wiki/The_Trial_of_a_Time_Lord" class="mw-redirect" title="The Trial of a Time Lord">The Trial of a Time Lord</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHoweStammersWalker1993207–208_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHoweStammersWalker1993207–208-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Sixth Doctor also appeared in the special <i><a href="/wiki/Dimensions_in_Time" title="Dimensions in Time">Dimensions in Time</a></i>. There are also <a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who_spin-offs" class="mw-redirect" title="Doctor Who spin-offs">novels and audio plays</a> featuring the Sixth Doctor, and the character has been visually referenced several times in the revived 2000s production of the show. </p><p>More so than any other canonical incarnation, aside from the <a href="/wiki/Eighth_Doctor" title="Eighth Doctor">Eighth Doctor</a>, the Sixth Doctor has been heavily expanded upon in expanded universe media, most notably in audio stories produced by <a href="/wiki/Big_Finish_Productions" title="Big Finish Productions">Big Finish Productions</a>. In <i><a href="/wiki/The_Marian_Conspiracy" title="The Marian Conspiracy">The Marian Conspiracy</a></i> (2000), a new companion was introduced - <a href="/wiki/Evelyn_Smythe" class="mw-redirect" title="Evelyn Smythe">Dr. Evelyn Smythe</a>, a middle-aged history lecturer on the verge of compulsory retirement whose sharp tongue and unwillingness to tolerate the Doctor's attitude steadily taught him to rein in his more unkind tendencies. Due to this influence, the Sixth Doctor evolved into a more compassionate and likable character. In addition, beginning with the webcast <i><a href="/wiki/Real_Time_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Real Time (Doctor Who)">Real Time</a></i> (2003), his costume was revised into a monochromatic blue variant, displayed on many audio stories' covers since then. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Casting">Casting</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sixth_Doctor&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Casting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Prior to being cast, various media outlets had suggested <a href="/wiki/Colin_Baker" title="Colin Baker">Colin Baker</a> should be the one to replace <a href="/wiki/Peter_Davison" title="Peter Davison">Peter Davison</a> as <a href="/wiki/The_Doctor" title="The Doctor">the Doctor</a>.

Realising what he had nearly done, he initially considered going into a hermit-like existence on the planet Titan 3, only to be caught up in events on the planet Jocanda, after which he resumed his travels (<i><a href="/wiki/The_Twin_Dilemma" title="The Twin Dilemma">The Twin Dilemma</a></i>). He encountered many old foes including the <a href="/wiki/The_Master_(Doctor_Who)" title="The Master (Doctor Who)">Master</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dalek" title="Dalek">Daleks</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cyberman" title="Cyberman">Cybermen</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sontaran" title="Sontaran">Sontarans</a>, and even shared an adventure with his own <a href="/wiki/Second_Doctor" title="Second Doctor">second incarnation</a> in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Two_Doctors" title="The Two Doctors">The Two Doctors</a></i>. He also faced a renegade female Time Lord scientist, the <a href="/wiki/Rani_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rani (Doctor Who)">Rani</a>, who was conducting experiments on humans using the <a href="/wiki/Luddite" title="Luddite">Luddite</a> riots as a cover. </p><p>Later, the Doctor and Peri landed on the devastated planet Ravolox, which they discovered was actually Earth, moved across space with devastating consequences. Before they could discover the reason for this disaster, the TARDIS landed on Thoros Beta. What actually happened here is unclear, but initial accounts suggest that Peri was killed after being cruelly used as a test subject in brain transplant experiments and the Doctor was pulled out of time to a Time Lord space station where he was <a href="/wiki/The_Trial_of_a_Time_Lord" class="mw-redirect" title="The Trial of a Time Lord">put on trial</a> for the second time by his own race, the <a href="/wiki/Time_Lord" title="Time Lord">Time Lords</a>. In reality the trial was a cover-up organised by the High Council. A race from Andromeda had stolen Time Lord secrets and hidden on Earth, so to protect themselves the Time Lords had moved Earth through space, burning the surface in a massive fireball and leaving it as Ravolox. The prosecutor at that trial, the <a href="/wiki/Valeyard" class="mw-redirect" title="Valeyard">Valeyard</a>, turned out to be a possible future evil incarnation of the Doctor himself who was out to steal his remaining lives. He had also edited the Matrix recordings of the Doctor's travels; in reality Peri had survived events on Thoros Beta. The events of the trial tangled the Doctor's timeline slightly, as he left in the company of <a href="/wiki/Mel_Bush" title="Mel Bush">Mel</a>, whom he technically had not yet met. </p><p>When the <a href="/wiki/TARDIS" title="TARDIS">TARDIS</a> is attacked by the Rani, the Sixth Doctor was somehow injured and regenerated into the <a href="/wiki/Seventh_Doctor" title="Seventh Doctor">Seventh Doctor</a>; the exact cause of the regeneration, however, has never been revealed on-screen. </p><p>An aged Sixth Doctor appeared as one of the “Guardians of the Edge” in an afterlife, inside the Doctor’s mind in the final <a href="/wiki/Thirteenth_Doctor" title="Thirteenth Doctor">Thirteenth Doctor</a> special, "<a href="/wiki/The_Power_of_the_Doctor" title="The Power of the Doctor">The Power of the Doctor</a>." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Beyond_the_trial_and_before_the_regeneration_in_spin-off_media">Beyond the trial and before the regeneration in spin-off media</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sixth_Doctor&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Beyond the trial and before the regeneration in spin-off media"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Doctor Who</i> was put on hiatus for 18 months following <i>The Trial of a Time Lord</i>, and Colin Baker was asked to return for a single story which would have led to an event precipitating the Doctor's regeneration. As he declined to do so, there were limits as to what could be done on screen for the purposes of transitioning to a new Doctor when the series resumed with <i><a href="/wiki/Time_and_the_Rani" title="Time and the Rani">Time and the Rani</a></i> and there were other unresolved questions, such as when and how the Doctor and Mel actually met. Attempts have been made by various authors to fill in these narrative gaps. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Virgin_Missing_Adventures" title="Virgin Missing Adventures">Virgin Missing Adventures</a> novel <i><a href="/wiki/Time_of_Your_Life_(novel)" title="Time of Your Life (novel)">Time of Your Life</a></i> states that the Doctor went into a self-imposed exile to avoid becoming the Valeyard. He was lured back into travelling by the Time Lords, and recruited <a href="/wiki/Grant_Markham" class="mw-redirect" title="Grant Markham">Grant Markham</a> as a companion. Although now travelling again, he attempted to avoid meeting Mel and recruited other companions. The audios in particular depict a range of people joining the Doctor's travels, including history lecturer <a href="/wiki/Evelyn_Smythe" class="mw-redirect" title="Evelyn Smythe">Evelyn Smythe</a>, "Edwardian adventuress" <a href="/wiki/Charley_Pollard" class="mw-redirect" title="Charley Pollard">Charley Pollard</a> (a former companion of the <a href="/wiki/Eighth_Doctor" title="Eighth Doctor">Eighth Doctor</a> who is rescued by the Sixth as part of a temporal paradox), supermarket check-out girl <a href="/wiki/Flip_Jackson" class="mw-redirect" title="Flip Jackson">Flip Jackson</a>, and WREN code-breaker Constance Clarke. The novel <i><a href="/wiki/The_Shadow_in_the_Glass" title="The Shadow in the Glass">The Shadow in the Glass</a></i> also depicts the Doctor working with his old friend <a href="/wiki/Brigadier_Lethbridge-Stewart" title="Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart">Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart</a> to thwart a conspiracy to unleash a Fourth Reich led by the secret son of <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a>, at a point when the Doctor was travelling alone. The Doctor eventually encounters Mel accidentally during the events of the <a href="/wiki/BBC_Books" title="BBC Books">BBC Books</a> novel <i><a href="/wiki/Business_Unusual" class="mw-redirect" title="Business Unusual">Business Unusual</a></i> and accepts his fate once she stows away in the TARDIS. </p><p>Pip and Jane Baker's novelisation of <i>Time and the Rani</i> provides the first relatively brief attempt to explain the Doctor's regeneration (specifically, that it was triggered by "tumultuous buffeting" as the Rani attacked the TARDIS). The <a href="/wiki/Virgin_New_Adventures" title="Virgin New Adventures">Virgin New Adventures</a> series suggests that the <a href="/wiki/Seventh_Doctor" title="Seventh Doctor">Seventh Doctor</a> somehow deliberately killed the Sixth, because he could not become the masterplanner and manipulator that his next incarnation became, due to his fear of becoming the Valeyard. The BBC Books <a href="/wiki/Past_Doctor_Adventures" title="Past Doctor Adventures">Past Doctor Adventures</a> novel <i><a href="/wiki/Spiral_Scratch_(novel)" title="Spiral Scratch (novel)">Spiral Scratch</a></i> proposes that the Sixth Doctor died as a result of his chronal energy being drained in a confrontation with a powerful pan-dimensional entity before being snared by the Rani's beam. The unofficial, for-charity-published, novel <i><a href="/wiki/Time%27s_Champion" class="mw-redirect" title="Time's Champion">Time's Champion</a></i> by <a href="/wiki/Craig_Hinton" title="Craig Hinton">Craig Hinton</a> and Chris McKeon consigns the events of <i>Spiral Scratch</i> to an alternate timeline, and makes the Sixth Doctor the eponymous Time's Champion, to save Mel from the clutches of the Time Lord God, Death. In these events, the Doctor, through the TARDIS' telepathic circuits, forces his own regeneration and then travels towards Lakertya, setting up the events of <i>Time and the Rani</i>. </p><p>In 2015, <a href="/wiki/Big_Finish_Productions" title="Big Finish Productions">Big Finish Productions</a> released <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sixth_Doctor:_The_Last_Adventure" title="The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure">The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure</a></i>, an audio drama depicting the events leading up to the Sixth Doctor's death and regeneration.<sup id="cite_ref-bigfinish.com_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bigfinish.com-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to this account, after a series of encounters with the Valeyard over the course of his life depicting the Valeyard regaining his energy after their last battle, the Sixth Doctor is essentially 'replaced' by the Valeyard, who had planted parasitic creatures in the TARDIS's telepathic circuits that formed a link with the Doctor over the course of his life, trapping the last fragments of the Doctor's personality in the Matrix. Faced with the prospect that the Valeyard, who has already replaced the Doctor's timeline so that even Mel believes he has always been the Doctor, will go on to do the same thing to every other Time Lord in history, the Sixth Doctor sends a message from the Matrix to his own past self, diverting the younger Doctor to travel to the planet Lakertya shortly before the Valeyard originally took over his timeline. As a result, the younger Doctor is exposed to radiation that is deadly to Time Lords, with his death and subsequent regeneration into the Seventh Doctor killing the parasites, stopping the Valeyard from succeeding with his plan as the regeneration 'kills' the link the parasites had created to the Doctor, but also setting up the events of <i>Time and the Rani</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Costume">Costume</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sixth_Doctor&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Costume"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Project_Lazarus.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/87/Project_Lazarus.jpg/250px-Project_Lazarus.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="217" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/Project_Lazarus.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="318" data-file-height="314" /></a><figcaption>The Sixth Doctor's blue costume</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:6th_doctor_costume_-_Colin_Baker_(11030097875)_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/6th_doctor_costume_-_Colin_Baker_%2811030097875%29_%28cropped%29.jpg/250px-6th_doctor_costume_-_Colin_Baker_%2811030097875%29_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="354" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/6th_doctor_costume_-_Colin_Baker_%2811030097875%29_%28cropped%29.jpg/330px-6th_doctor_costume_-_Colin_Baker_%2811030097875%29_%28cropped%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/6th_doctor_costume_-_Colin_Baker_%2811030097875%29_%28cropped%29.jpg/500px-6th_doctor_costume_-_Colin_Baker_%2811030097875%29_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3452" data-file-height="5560" /></a><figcaption>The Sixth Doctor's costume</figcaption></figure> <p>Colin Baker wished to dress his Doctor in black velvet, to reflect his character's darker personality.<sup id="cite_ref-chicagonow.com_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chicagonow.com-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Producer <a href="/wiki/John_Nathan-Turner" title="John Nathan-Turner">John Nathan-Turner</a>, however, opted for a deliberately "totally tasteless" costume with clashing colours.

of <i><a href="/wiki/Screen_Rant" title="Screen Rant">Screen Rant</a></i> wrote that <a href="/wiki/Colin_Baker" title="Colin Baker">Colin Baker</a>'s tenure as the Sixth Doctor was "very much a waste of both the actor's talents and the character's potential". He believed that "neither Baker nor the Sixth Doctor ever really got the proper treatment they deserved" in the series, Baker having been the only actor to portray the Doctor to be fired from the role. Jones noted that the Sixth Doctor's first onscreen appearance in "<a href="/wiki/The_Twin_Dilemma" title="The Twin Dilemma">The Twin Dilemma</a>", showcasing his brash and aggressive demeanour, made it difficult for audiences to warm to him in a vital appearance for the character. Jones stated that it was only in <a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who_season_22" title="Doctor Who season 22">Baker's second series</a> that the Doctor began to display his "wealth of potential". Ultimately, Jones suggested that it was the producer's "poor handling" of the Sixth Doctor's character that resulted in the series' decline in popularity and eventual axing in 1989.<sup
