Taking a lead from another thread I've been thinking, would colin's era be improved by the lack of colour? Would retrofitting his stories into black and white help? What do people think?
Starkers runs for it!
I'm not a fan really, but fair play, he does a lovely smile and truly frightening frown!
Surely the more pressing issue is whether the Davison-era should be re-edited to give the Fifth Doctor a personality.

Artistic integrity, the debate of colourising, etc, be damned! This is what is needed! We need to tone down his breathing too.
The Fifth always struck me as an incredibly boring guy having an asthma attack.
One thing about the Colin Baker era was that the garishness of the coat meant that other costumes and sets had to be equally garish, as the cameras only had a certain range in terms of colour and contrast.
If we'd had the colourful Doctor looking like a shining beacon of hope in bleak, dark sets that might have worked much better.

One - It's not acceptable to colorize the Black and White shows, and it's not acceptable to de-colorize the best Doctor's shows either.

I KNEW this sounded familiar. This has been your grand plan all along!![]()
Haha, fantastic.The Fifth always struck me as an incredibly boring guy having an asthma attack.
I'd dispute that. Despite its flaws (well, Timelash), Season 22 is a much stronger season than any of Davisons', and Vengeance on Varos and Revelation of the Daleks are both 5 star classics in my view. As for Trial, I recognise it as both flawed and ambitious, but I think it holds together quite well. The Mysterious Planet and Terror of the Vervoids are decent enough stories, Mindwarp's fantastically trippy with a shocking ending, and The Ultimate Foe wraps it up very well (especially considering how quickly Pip and Jane had to get the last part together).As much as I love Colin, it wasn't really the costume or the art design that failed. It was the writing.
I think I've worked it out. You're Peter Davison, aren't you?Unlike I'm sure all those people saying cruel things about Peter Davison. I'm wounded![]()

Tell me, did you really have to put your arm right up that cow's arse in that second series episode of All Creatures Great and Small?
Much as I love the standard Colin costume and think it the most beautiful thing ever, that blue one would also be great. Sort of a mix of Colin and McGann (my two favourite Doctors. When I end up playing the twelfth or thirteenth Doctor, I think I'll opt for something a lot like that. Maybe with an alternate dark purple version.
