Colin Charles Baker (born 8 June 1943) is an English actor. He is known for playing the sixth incarnation of the Doctor in the science fiction series Doctor Who (1984–1986) and Paul Merroney in the BBC drama series The Brothers (1974–1976). He has also performed prolifically in stage productions across the UK, particularly pantomimes.

Born in London and raised in Rochdale, he began his career with supporting parts in historical drama series such as The Roads to Freedom (1970), Cousin Bette (1971), War and Peace (1972) and Fall of Eagles (1974). Baker's role in The Brothers brought him fame but typecast him as villainous characters. He notably appeared as Bayban the Butcher in Blake's 7 (1980).

Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner was impressed by Baker's performance as Commander Maxil in the serial Arc of Infinity (1983) and cast him as the series' sixth lead actor in 1983.[1] Baker's tenure as the Doctor proved to be turbulent. BBC executives Michael Grade and Jonathan Powell were unhappy with the series' direction, enforcing an 18-month hiatus after Baker's first season and ultimately forcing Baker's dismissal from the role. Since 1999 Baker has regularly played the Sixth Doctor in licensed audio dramas produced by Big Finish Productions. He also reprised the role in the stage play The Ultimate Adventure (1989) and the television stories Dimensions in Time (1993) and "The Power of the Doctor" (2022).

Early life and education

Colin Charles Baker was born on 8 June 1943 in Waterloo, London, the son of Charles Ernest Baker (died 1971), managing director of an asbestos company, and Lily Catherine (died 2001).[2][3] He has Irish ancestry on his mother's side.[4] As a child he moved with his family to Rochdale due to his father's work.[2]

Baker's first experience acting was in a nativity play at his primary school. During his education at St Bede's College, Manchester, he took part in productions of The Yeomen of the Guard and Iolanthe. He made his first television appearance in the 1956 Christmas special of My Wife's Sister.[2]

Baker studied French, Greek and Latin at A-Levels, achieving A grades in Greek and Latin.[5] Baker desired to study modern languages at either Oxford or Cambridge, and to join OUDS or Footlights.[6] However his father Charles saw university as "a waste of time". Baker stated in 1991 that his father's income "was such that, without his say-so, I couldn't go anywhere, because I couldn't get a grant."[7] Instead, Charles found his son employment as a trainee solicitor at Fox, Brooks & Marshall.[8]

Baker initially felt that "the idea of being an actor seemed silly, frankly", but an encounter with a member of an amateur dramatic society led to him joining the North Manchester Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society and later the Rochdale Curtain Theatre amateur group.[8] After his father had a stroke, Baker jettisoned his law career at age 22[6] and moved to London with his mother. Baker unsuccessfully auditioned for RADA; he succeeded the following year but instead chose to attend the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).[8]

Career

Early work in television

Baker briefly worked as a taxi driver in Minehead during his first year as an acting graduate in 1969. His first professional role was in a three-week tour of Plaintiff in a Pretty Hat. He then appeared in The Other House at the Mermaid Theatre. Baker's first television appearance as a professional actor was in two episodes of The Roads to Freedom (1970), an adaptation of Jean-Paul Sartre's book series. The same year he appeared with Kate O'Mara in the science fiction comedy series The Adventures of Don Quick.[9] He played Count Steinbock in an adaptation of Cousin Bette the following year, opposite Margaret Tyzack and Helen Mirren.[10][9][11] In 1972 he played Anatole Kuragin in the BBC's television adaptation of War and Peace.[9][12] In Fall of Eagles (1974) he played Crown Prince Wilhelm of the German Empire.[9][13] Baker came close to appearing in the Doctor Who serial The Mutants (1972) as Cotton, and was considered for the role of Jellicoe in Robot (1974-5).[14]

In September 1974 he joined the fourth season of BBC drama series The Brothers as the ruthless banker Paul Merroney. The sarcastic and self-conceited character—Baker's most prominent role to date—was a figure audiences loved to hate.[1][15] Baker recalled that the character was so disliked that he was occasionally accosted in public by viewers with their umbrellas.[16][15] He also became an unlikely sex symbol.[9] Baker was typecast after The Brothers ended in late 1976. He returned to the theatre, acting in tours of Underground, Trap for a Lonely Man and Stagestruck. He played Macduff in a 1978 production of Macbeth at the Haymarket in Leicester.[17]

He returned to television, notably guest-starring as the villainous Bayban the Butcher in the 1980 Blake's 7 episode "City at the Edge of the World".[18][17] He also had a regular role as James West in the ATV soap opera For Maddie with Love (1980). Other programmes in which Baker guest-starred include Dangerous Davies (1981), The Young Ones (1982), Juliet Bravo (1982), The Citadel (1983) and Swallows and Amazons Forever (1984).[17]

Doctor Who

Main article: Sixth Doctor

Baker made his Doctor Who debut as the antagonistic Time Lord Commander Maxil in Arc of Infinity (1983), who notably shoots the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) in the cliffhanger to Part One.[19][20] Davison later joked that Baker was going after his job.[21] Baker was unavailable to reprise the role in "The Five Doctors" (1983);[17] during the filming of that episode, Davison informed producer John Nathan-Turner that he was leaving Doctor Who.[22][23] Nathan-Turner had initially chastised Baker for upstaging Davison with his "arch" performance (reminding him that the series was titled Doctor Who, not Maxil),[16] but after encountering Baker entertaining guests at the wedding of a mutual friend, he remarked to his partner Gary Downie "I think I may have found my new Doctor". Baker was offered the part on 10 June.[24] Baker had been a fan of the series since the 1960s, and considered applying for the lead role when Fourth Doctor actor Tom Baker (no relation) left in 1980.[25][26] His casting was announced on 19 August 1983, and the Sixth Doctor first appeared in the final moments of The Caves of Androzani (1984).[27]

Baker at Whovent in September 1986

Baker was keen to emphasise the Doctor's alien behaviour,[28] and the intention was for his brash and arrogant incarnation to mellow over time.[1] Baker suggested a dark costume (similar to the Ninth Doctor's) which would allow his Doctor to go unnoticed; ironically, he was dressed in a multi-coloured coat designed to be "totally tasteless".[29][27] Neither fans nor critics reacted favourably to the Sixth Doctor's debut. His first full story The Twin Dilemma (1983) is often regarded as one of the worst in the history of the series.[30] The new Doctor's unlikeability was established when, in a post-regeneration mood swing, he tries to strangle his companion Peri Brown (Nicola Bryant)—a scene widely condemned for its shock value.[31][32] Due to concerns over season 22's overtly violent tone and lack of humour, production of Doctor Who's expected 1986 season was suspended in February 1985.[33][34] Michael Grade, the Controller of BBC1, personally disliked Doctor Who and criticised its outdated production values.[a] He reportedly described Baker's performance as "absolutely god-awful".[36] During the 18-month hiatus,[34] Baker and Bryant starred in the Doctor Who radio drama Slipback (1985).[27] Both actors also contributed their vocals to Doctor in Distress (1985), a charity single produced to raise money for the National Society for Cancer Relief and support the series' return.[41]

In September 1986, Doctor Who returned to television (with a reduced episode count) for season 23, known collectively as Trial of a Time Lord. The season's story arc, which involved the Doctor on trial for his crimes against Time Lord society,[42][43] was a meta-textual reference to the series itself being "on trial".[44] Grade and Jonathan Powell (BBC's Head of Series and Serials) took the new season's disappointing ratings as justification that Baker did not appeal to the public, and instructed Nathan-Turner to recast the Doctor.[45][46] Davison later suggested that the BBC moreso wanted to replace Nathan-Turner and expected him to resign as producer.[47] On 29 October, Nathan-Turner informed Baker over the phone that the Sixth Doctor would be replaced.[48] Despite initial hopes that Baker would stay in the role for at least four years,[b] his two-season tenure as the Doctor was the shortest at that point.[50] Baker was upset as there was much he still wanted to do with the role.[46] Powell offered Baker a four-part story concluding in his character's regeneration. Baker argued for one more complete season,[48] as he didn't want to commit himself to only two weeks' work when he should be seeking out regular work elsewhere.[51] Baker never heard back from Powell. The new Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, played the injured Sixth Doctor in the opening minutes of season 24's debut serial Time and the Rani (1987), his face hidden by visual effects as the regeneration process occurs.[48][52] In a 2019 interview, Baker expressed regret for not returning for the scene, stating that he was feeling "hacked off" and not thinking about the fans.[53]

Reprising the role

From June to August 1989, Baker succeeded Jon Pertwee as the Doctor in the stage play Doctor Who – The Ultimate Adventure.[48] Baker reprised the role on television for the first time in the 1993 Children in Need charity special Dimensions in Time, alongside every surviving Doctor.[54][55] In 1997, he provided dialogue for the BBC video game Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors.[56] Baker and McCoy reprised their roles for a 2003 Dead Ringers Children in Need sketch where the Sixth and Seventh Doctors compete against alien foes on the game show Weakest Link.[57][58]

In 1999, Baker appeared alongside Davison and McCoy in The Sirens of Time, the first of Big Finish Productions' licensed Doctor Who audio dramas.[59][60] Baker regularly played the Sixth Doctor in Big Finish's Main Range series until its conclusion in March 2021, with the character's stories continuing in the ongoing series The Sixth Doctor Adventures.[61][62] Big Finish gave Baker the chance to continue the Sixth Doctor's long-term character arc,[63] which has rehabilitated the character's reputation. In a 2001 poll conducted by Doctor Who Magazine, Baker was voted the Best Audio Doctor.[64] The 2015 audio drama The Last Adventure, which depicts the Sixth Doctor's final adventure before his regeneration, afforded Baker the send-off he was denied on-screen.[65][66] Baker reprised the role of Commander Maxil in the Gallifrey episode "Appropriation" in 2006.[67] In 2022, he played an alternate version of the Doctor ("the Warrior") in the Doctor Who Unbound series,[68] and an elderly future version of the Doctor ("the Curator") in The Eighth Doctor Adventures.[69][70]

In the 2022 television special "The Power of the Doctor", Baker returned for a cameo appearance alongside Davison, McCoy and Paul McGann as a manifestation of the Thirteenth Doctor's subconscious.[71][72] Baker reprised his role as the Sixth Doctor in Tales of the TARDIS (2023) to mark Doctor Who's 60th anniversary.[73][74]

Other involvement in Doctor Who media

Baker has written various published Doctor Who short stories, including "The Deal" (1991),[75] "A Wee Deoch an ...?" (1991),[76] "A Tourist Invasion" (1992)[77] and "Interstitial Insecurity" (2019), all featuring the Sixth Doctor.[78][79] In 1994 he wrote the comic story The Age of Chaos.[80] He wrote and read the short story audiobook "The Wings of A Butterfly" for Big Finish.[81][82] He presented the home video releases Cybermen – The Early Years[83] and The Colin Baker Years.[84][85] At Riverside Studios on 4 September 2011, Baker accepted the post of Honorary President of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society.[86][87]

Baker starred in the comedy short film The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot (2013), where he played a fictionalised version of himself who assists Davison and McCoy in sneaking into the production of the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor.[88] Since 2023, Baker hosts the Big Finish-produced podcast Into the TARDIS, which showcases fan-favourite Big Finish stories.[89]

After Doctor Who

Baker has appeared in various stage productions across the United Kingdom, particularly pantomimes.[90][91] In 2010 he became the first actor to portray Inspector Morse on stage in House of Ghosts.[92] He played Sherlock Holmes in on-stage radio adaptations of The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Sign of the Four in 2022 and 2025 respectively.[93][94]

His television work through the 1990s included guest appearances in Casualty (1989, 1998), The Knock (1997), Jonathan Creek (1997), The Famous Five (1997) and Sunburn (1999).[91] He played Australian Army officer Harry George Chauvel in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.[95][96] He also appeared on Hollyoaks (2000), Doctors (2001, 2006, 2011), Telling Tales (2004), The Afternoon Play (2006), Kingdom (2008) and Hustle (2010).[91]

Baker in 2009

From 1991 to 1995, Baker played ersatz Doctor in the direct-to-video film series The Stranger, produced by BBV Productions.[91] He also appeared in the BBV films The Airzone Solution (1993) and The Zero Imperative (1994), alongside former Doctor Who actors Davison, McCoy and Jon Pertwee.[91][97][98] His other films include The Harpist (1997),[99] The Asylum (2000)[100] and A Dozen Summers (2015).[101][102]

Baker's non-Doctor Who audio drama work for Big Finish includes the Sapphire & Steel series (based on the television series of the same name)[103][104] and Earthsearch: Mindwarp (based on James Follet's Earthsearch).[105] In 2021, he reprised the role of Bayban in Big Finish's box set Bayban the Butcher.[106][18]

Baker appeared on Top Gear in 2003, participating in a one-lap run of the Top Gear track in a Honda Civic hatchback. Baker competed against various drivers dressed as a Klingon, a Cyberman, a Dalek, Darth Vader and Ming the Merciless. Baker came in 4th position, with the Cyberman coming 1st.[107] In 1998 he appeared as himself as the resident celebrity in "Dictionary Corner" on the game show Countdown.[108] He made a guest appearance in series 3 of the sketch show Little Britain, though his scenes were deleted.[13] He appeared in The Generation Game dressed as the Doctor.[109] Baker participated in the 2012 series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, finishing in 8th place.[87][91]

Since 1995, Baker has written a regular weekly column for local newspaper Bucks Free Press. Three collections of his articles have been published: Look Who's Talking, Second Thoughts[91][110] and Sixth Sense.[111]

Personal life

Baker married actress Liza Goddard (who played his on-screen wife in The Brothers) in July 1976, becoming stepfather to Goddard's 1-year-old son. They divorced 18 months later.[17][112][113]

  2. ^ In 1986 Baker told an interviewer: "Tom Baker did it for seven years. ... There's a part of me which likes to have a tilt at records. I would like to think that maybe I'd still be doing it in eight years' time."[49] The BBC hoped Baker would stay on for longer than Davison (three years), so Baker signed a four-year contract.[25][22]

His income was such that, without his say-so, I couldn't go anywhere, because I couldn't get a grant and he thought University was a waste of time so at 18 I was shoved into a solicitor's office. I did what I was told.
