Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The Top Five Colin Baker Stories

Unfortunately Colin Baker’s tenure as The Doctor wasn’t that long to warrant a top 10 list.  Being unceremoniously fired after The Trial of a Time Lord Colin’s Doctor wasn’t able to build a big back catalog of stories to pick from and he only had 11 stories so in fairness I picked the top 5 from his era which is often overlooked and has some really good stories in it.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The Two Doctors

Doctor Who: 

The Two Doctors 

By Robert Holmes

“I think your Doctor's worse than mine.”

The Time Lords send The Second Doctor and Jamie to visit Dastari  at Space Station Chimera.   The Time Lords are concerned about the time experiments being conducted by Kartz and Reimer.   While arguing with Dastari The Doctor is alerted that Dastari assistant Chessene is in fact an Androgum.  The Doctor is alarmed at this as messing with a species is barbaric and making an Androgum intelligent is extremely dangerous.    The conversation doesn’t get too far as Dastari appears to have been drugged and there is evidence of laser fire coming from outside.  The Sontarans have attacked the base after Chessene dropped the defenses to let them in.  The Doctor is taken prisoner and taken to Seville, Spain with Chessene, Shockeye, and Dastari as they plan on using him to get the secret of time travel.

Meanwhile The Sixth Doctor and Peri are enjoying a spot of fishing.  At least The Doctor is as Peri is bored out of her mind.  When The Doctor has a bit of a brain attack and decides to seek some help.  He finds Dastari’s business card in his rolodex and proceeds to head to Space Station Chimera.  When they arrive they find nothing but death and destruction and a computer that is trying to kill them as they are intruders.  The Doctor and Peri keep on exploring to see what happened when they come across Jamie.  Jamie tells them what happened and explains that they killed his Doctor.  The Doctor not convinced of this figures out what happened as Jamie had seen a hologram and not the real Doctor being killed.  The Doctor then goes into a trance to try and find his earlier self.  With success The Doctor discovers where it is he is and promptly heads off to Seville, Spain to save himself along with Jamie and Peri in tow.
