Should the sixth Doctor be de-colourised?

I'm not a fan really, but fair play, he does a lovely smile and truly frightening frown!
Yes, he has a truly expressive face. One of his greatest strengths as The Doctor...
I would just like to add: I agree with Omaha has said.
Greatest. Doctor. Ever.

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.
now see, I told you in the other thread..
you are brilliant! and I completely agree with the above statement.. just something about the acting style of the Davidson doctor that rubbed me the wrong way. He was overly always about to pass out..or faint.. and then he would shout.. when there was truly no need to.. Say what you may about Baker, but I think there were a few script gems in there..
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.

As much as I love Colin, it wasn't really the costume or the art design that failed. It was the writing.
In fairness that was the point I was trying to make, all be it in a comedy manner
No harm was intended.
Unlike I'm sure all those people saying cruel things about Peter Davison. I'm wounded
Foiled again!
Haha, fantastic.
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).
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?
Well, it's certainly better than The Key to Time.
Vengeance I would agree is a good story. Revelation, you can take the Doctor out of most of the story, he doesn't really do much until the very end, he spends a lot of time walking TO the place.
I agree that the Trial is ambitious, with interesting stories, but every time you get hooked into a story, it's interrupted by a court room scene with some variation of valeyard, junkyard, etc. etc.
Cool as it would be to be the best Doctor, I'm not.
On the plus side it means I can fancy Jenny
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.
