Doctor Who: The Handbook - The Sixth Doctor by David J. Howe, Mark Stammers, Stephen James Walker
Colin Baker's tenure as the Doctor was brief, but coincided with one of DOCTOR WHO's most turbulent times. The programme's audience ratings were falling, its future was in doubt - particularly during an 18 month absence from the screen - and, in the end, Colin Baker's departure was abrupt and marked by recriminations. The 6th Doctor's personality seemed to reflect this uncertainty; he was moody and unpredictable.

THE HANDBOOK: THE SIXTH DOCTOR contains a profile of Colin Baker, an analysis of the the development of the 6th Doctor, background information about the threats to the programme, and a crtitical review of all the TV stories, including what is known of the 1985 series that was never made.

This is the 2nd in the Handbook series by David J. Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker, the team that produced THE SIXTIES, the definitive book about DOCTOR WHO's early years.
