Re: Doctor Who!

Wasn't he also one of Jeremy Beadle's team in the 80s, setting up members of the public in Beadle's About?

Yes indeed. Fifth paragraph.

Re: Doctor Who!

I don't think so...

I have this very clear memory of him standing there with a clip-board as a council official. But I've Goggled several sites and can't get a list of the people who helped Jeremy on the show. Maybe just a mixed up memory on my part.

Re: Doctor Who!

so how do you feel about the jenna louise coleman coming in to replace karen gillan as his new companion.

and how do you think karen did in her time as his companion.

although karen will be in most of the new series to come.

i had a feeling her time was coming to an end as she was not in the chrimbo special and although we saw her and rory in a cyberman episiode they never seen the dr.

Re: Doctor Who!

what a terrible way to sack colin from the role and it had nowt to do with him playing dr who.
ill bet he feels a bit bitter about it.

did u know mate terry molloy who was the 3rd actor to play davros was in attack of the cybermen he played russell.
it was a colin baker episode.

Re: Doctor Who!

he was sacked for what reason mate.
well ill bet it was not colin's fault.

The BBC wanted to cancel the series in 1985 but there was a public outcry. Colin became a scapegoat. Officially, he was sacked because ratings were down. Actually, it was because Michael Grade, the BBC's controller at the time, had a grudge against him. Grade was in a relationship with Colin's ex-wife at the time.

even as soon as peter became colin baker at the end of caves of androzani peri asks is that u dr and colin says you where expecting someone else already his humour shone through.
perhaps they thought him to funny.

but he still came out on top though.

colin did the fewest episodes other than mcgann.

Not quite. He did 31 episodes. Christopher Eccleston only did 13.

Re: Doctor Who!

I thought Colin was very underrated. I really liked him, despite the costume. If he hadn't been sacked he could have become one of the most popular Doctors given a bit more time, I think.

Re: Doctor Who!

Blimey, I hadn't realized he was in it!

I only realised when I saw the repeat the other day.

Re: Doctor Who!

I enjoyed the Ood episode very much.

Here's a nice pic from 'Midnight', featuring Colin Morgan who became a household name soon after, as 'Merlin'.

Re: Doctor Who!

That would be the imaginatively titled 'Planet of the Ood' in 2007.

i thought him very funny.
him and peri where a real good team.

he wore some colourful clothes.
