8. "Colin Baker Was A Crap Doctor..."
A favourite pastime for every overly obsessed
Doctor Who fan - aside from scouring the darkest realms of the Internet for the latest filming spoilers - is ranking the Doctors from worst to best, even though the moderns countdowns are practically guaranteed to end with one incarnation in particular taking the coveted top spot. Spoilers: He wears Converse and shouts, "Allons-y!" a lot. For there to be a winner there has to be a loser, of course, and it's usually Colin Baker who's hampered with the accolade of being the "Worst. Doctor. Ever". Poor guy. He never had a chance. The Sixth Doctor stepped aboard the TARDIS, in all his multi-coloured coat glory, in 1984 and some fans would argue that his tenure was pretty much doomed from the start. It doesn't help matters this his first full-length adventure,
The Twin Dilemma, is widely cited as the worst
Doctor Who serial of all time (yes, even worse than
Timelash!) but even with that shockingly negative statistic considered, surely saying his incarnation was downright crap is pretty harsh? After all, any REAL
Doctor Who fan knows that there's no such thing as a crap Doctor, only the ones you like the least, right?
