10 Reasons To Revisit The Colin Baker Era Of Doctor Who
3. His Short Run Is Easily Digestible
An entirely accidental upside of the show's cancellation and Baker's firing is that his run is short and easily binge-able, unlike many of the other classic Doctors. With only 31 episodes spread across two short seasons, his run can be easily enjoyed in just a few sittings.
As incredible as the runs of Tom Baker or Jon Pertwee are, their eras can be somewhat daunting to approach, as both have episode counts well over 100. For Colin, however, his run is easily digestible, and both of his seasons have received their own Blu-Ray boxsets containing plenty of extras to enjoy.
And, with most of the stories being only two parts long, they are easy to recommend to fans of the new series looking to try classic Who for the first time.
For those wishing to delve deeper into the Sixth Doctor, he has also received a large amount of coverage in expanded media, often with stories filling in the gaps of his onscreen tenure, and fleshing out his character and demeanour.
