Red Mage Conspiracy

Things to take away from this

• Colin Baker defended us when Michael Grade called us all ‘loonies’ for liking Doctor Who.
• Colin Baker was, in fact, treated like trash by the man who headed the BBC
• Colin Baker was canned because of politics - nothing to do with his ability as The Doctor (he was great)
• Doctor Who, in general, had good numbers when it was cancelled. Better than other shows, but Grade had a vendetta against Doctor Who
• Colin Baker loved the show enough to go on tour to help promote it EVEN AFTER BEING FIRED. JUST TO SAVE THE SHOW.
• Colin Baker wasn’t even paid that much for his era. He mainly did the job because he loved it and he believed in the show.
• Colin Baker STOOD UP to one of the most powerful men in Britain because he knew he was wronged, even when everyone was telling him to lie and say he quit. He even called him a coward.
• Colin Baker was NEVER given a reason for why he was fired.
• Colin Baker is a hero among the Who fandom. That people dislike him is simply criminal. Our enemy is Michael Grade.

Go Colin!  As he’s the President of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society, he deserves our votes.

Reason #8916254 why Colin should’ve had another season (also why I wish June Hudson was kept as costume designer). This was June Hudson’s reimagining of the Doctor’s outfit for post-trial broodfest.

*ugly sobbing*

THIS IS SO PRETTY

Colin Baker in Public Eye

Is it just me, or does he look just a little like Matt Smith?

This is how Colin Baker wanted to look as The Doctor during his time in DOCTOR WHO

Okay, JNT’s fashion sense was terrible though.

(he’s still one of my favourite showrunners!)

I think it’s in the Warriors Of The Deep commentary that Janet Fielding points out that her dress looks like a Hawaiian shirt, Sixie’s outfit is as loud as a Hawaiian shirt, and JNT, strangely enough, was awfully fond of wearing Hawaiian shirts.  Curious.

We’ve heard that Tom would be interested in coming back for the 50^th anniversary, would the rest of you?

CB: No

SM: Yes.

CB: No

SM: Oh, all the fans will hate you.

CB: I think hate is a powerful emotion. Get some hate going and when you’re somebody nice, a little bit nice, they like you again.

TB: I think it would depend. I said I’m not automatically in, if the BBC ring me up, naturally of course I get very suspicious. Even if you say ‘BBC’, I think ‘allo, ‘allo dodgy. But if they ring me up and ask me if I want to take part, I would want to know what they would want me to do.

CB: Exactly

How very in character of you, Colin Baker.

(Spoiler: Tom Baker actually hates Jelly Babies.)
