The Sixth Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of
the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. He is portrayed
by Colin Baker. Although his televisual time on the series was
comparatively brief and turbulent, Baker has continued as the Sixth
Doctor in Big Finish's range of original Doctor Who audio adventures.
Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time
Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the
TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end of life, the Doctor
regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of
the Doctor changes. Baker portrays the sixth such incarnation, an
arrogant, flamboyant character in brightly coloured, mismatched
clothes whose brash, often patronising personality set him apart from
all his previous incarnations.The Sixth Doctor appeared in three
seasons. His appearance in the first of these was at the end of the
final episode of The Caves of Androzani which featured the
regeneration from the Fifth Doctor and thereafter in the following
serial The Twin Dilemma, the end of that season. The Sixth Doctor's
era was marked by the decision of the BBC controller Michael Grade to
put the series on an 18-month "hiatus" between seasons 22 and 23, with
only one new Doctor Who story, Slipback, made on radio during the
hiatus, broadcast as 6 parts (at 10 minutes each) on BBC Radio 4 from
25 July to 8 August 1985, as part of a children's magazine show called
Pirate Radio Four. Colin Baker had been signed up for four years, as
the previous actor Peter Davison had left after only three years.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 The Trial of
a Time Lord. The Sixth Doctor also appeared in the special Dimensions
in Time. There are also novels and audio plays featuring the Sixth
Doctor, and the character has been visually referenced several times
in the revived 2000s production of the show. Sixth Doctor Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
