I really feel for Colin Baker. What bothers me more is when people blame him as an actor for the writer's and the director's failings. He was (and probably still is) a great actor and did a great job with what he was given. After the way the BBC treated him, I’m not surprised he’s unenthusiastic about this.

Colin has conducted himself with incredible dignity over the years since his appalling treatment at the hands of the BBC (Far more than I would have been able to have done !) I've been privillaged to meet him at several conventions over the last 5 years or so and on every occasion he has talked and shared with huge enthusiasm about his time on the show. His loyalty to something that must have been so incredibly difficult for him at the time is WAY above comendable ! Thank you Colin Baker !!!!!!! Have to 100% agree with Darren and Grace here !

But I have to admit that I have a new and profound respect for him as well as his portayal of The Doctor. It's one thing to do a job where you're loved and appreciated (Tom Baker) but quite another to do it when you're constantly ridiculed and under-appreciated. For that reason alone I think he deserves our respect! Thanks for what you gave us Collin! He wasn’t my favorite in the beginning, nor is he now (David Tennant).

He has comported himself with dignity & joviality from the first day on the show, and continues to do so on Twitter. The Big Finish stories have been a revelation, as to what may have been, and shown what a superb Doctor he was, and continues to be. Nothing but repsect & admiration for him.. an absolute gent & a credit to the history of the show.
