@swordseye2 I think Colin was ace as Bayban in B7, in billions of ways and Colin should in my view been cast as Roj Blake in Blake's Seven instead of Gareth Thomas who had no staying power and Gareth pushed off and let down millions of fans and how silly was he.Colin if he had played Blake, would never have done that an dBlake would have been in series three and B7 might have run much longer than it did.

Oh, and I may be the only person, but I love Peri's outfit here.

I've never understood complaints about this scene. The narrative intentions are pretty clear and well explained in the story. It establishes from the start that the new Doctor is unstable and wildly different from the last guy. It gives Colin a chance to chew the scenery, which he's good at. The only problem I can see is that it raises the legitimate question if Peri - already a bit of a weakling - is safe travelling with the Doctor. But they could fix that by making Peri stronger, anyway.

@swordseye2 This is the beginning of "The Twin Dilemma", I believe. The Doctor's regeneration was unstable and caused him to have a violent episode. The idea was to have Six start out unstable (due to poisoning, I think), but mellow out as the seasons progressed. Unfortunately, the BBC fired Colin Baker before Six had a chance to stabilize much, so he never got the chance to show us the awesome on TV. Baker does a great job in the Big Finish audios, though.

Sometimes you just gotta go all "Colin Baker" on a bitch

I'm confused.. What is actually happening? And what episode is it?
@samgamgee07 I'll bet she'll think twice about criticizing his clothes.

God, I can't decide if this scene is terrifyingly out-of-character bad or insanely daring good. Whatever the answer is, you really do have to admire Colin. Talk about doing a lot with nothing!
