About this listen

Colin Baker's career as an actor spans six decades of television and theatre. To many he is Paul Merroney from the BBC's much-loved 1970s drama The Brothers. To others he is the unhinged Bayban the Butcher in Blake's 7 or Inspector Morse onstage. Or perhaps some know him best simply as Colin Baker himself, the man who entered the jungle and won over the nation in I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Yet millions know him best as the colourfully dressed Sixth Doctor in Doctor Who, a character that has endured - and will continue to endure - through generations.

This is Colin's own story, in conversation with interviewer Nicholas Briggs.

How lovely to hear Colin's story. I had the great pleasure of interviewing Colin for a regional radio station I worked on. He was just wonderful.

Delightful

Having just listened to Tom Baker at 80 with Nicholas Briggs, I thought I would give Colin Baker’s episode a listen.
I am so pleased I did! The set-up formula of these discussions are great - informal, fun but also quite investigative.
Colin Baker is a Dr Who I enjoyed and being young at the time never understood why he departed so quickly. It is well covered here, but it is lovely to hear he’s still very fond of the role even if he was treated badly.
Some fabulous anecdotes throughout about various parts of his career, especially his antics in live theatre are fun.
A thoroughly enjoyable listen and highly Recommended.

This series of interviews by big finnish are excellent. I have listened to all of them now. Each a candid coated treasure. Higly recommend. Was interesting hearing Colin's memories, and get a glimpse into how his life unfolded. Great work. Hope there are more of these on the cards at Big Finnish.
