Talk:Sixth Doctor

Copy editing for tenses
I've gone through the article very quickly, it was driving me mad! In-universe descriptions should be past tense, while IRL commentary (ie the questions section) should be present. Yes, i've got too much time on my hands :D --90.206.122.188 19:23, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Sylvester McCoy?
When it says that he portrays the Sixth Doctor, what does it mean? None of the other Doctors have their successors noted as having played them. I'm going to remove it. The Thirteenth Doctor 14:01, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * It would be a case of the fine line. In the opening sequence of Time and the Rani it is Sylvester McCoy in a wig as the 6th Doctor (it's when he's on the floor with his face to the ground and all the camera shake), then when the Tetrap rolls him over his face is all swirly during the regeneration (which resolves itself to by the Seventh Doctor - McCoy). --Tangerineduel 15:33, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

eye color?
Removed a statement that the Sixth Doctor's eyes are light brown. There's some evidence that the Sixth Doctor has blue eyes. He's drawn that way in the animated "Real Time" and I believe some of the action figures also have blue eyes. There's an additional scene in the audio release of "Real Time" in which Evelyn tells him that his new blue coat matches his eyes.

I haven't the faintest idea what color Colin Baker's eyes actually are - they look anywhere from brown to bluish-green in photos - but it seems unlikely to me he would have sat through that recording session without protesting that they had got his eye color wrong!

(Interestingly I've seen unsubstantiated claims that the first eight Doctors all had blue eyes, which I find difficult to believe, although I think quite a few of them did.)

Perhaps someone who has actually met Colin Baker can verify his eye color? Zathras86 02:46, November 26, 2010 (UTC)Zathras86

Terry Molloy?
Where has Terry Molloy played the Sixth Doctor? He's listed as a voice actor in this role on the page, but his own article doesn't substantiate this - the only role he's discussed as playing there is Davros. Shouldn't Colin Baker himself be listed there, for returning to play the Sixth Doctor in about a zillion audios? As far as I can see, Baker should be listed there and the reference to Malloy should be either removed or explained.


 * In The Curse of Davros, the Sixth Doctor and Davros switch bodies. That is why Terry Molloy is listed as having played the Sixth Doctor. -- DarkXaven (Talk page) 14:28, December 23, 2013 (UTC)

Untitled
None of the pages called Untitled on this wiki seem to feature the Sixth Doctor, Emily Chaudhry or Will Hoffman. Is it referring to Defining Patterns from the Short Trips anthology of the same name? -- Tybort (talk page) 20:36, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Rewording the introduction?
Is it just me, or does the description at the top of the page here seem rather anti-Sixth Doctor and biased? Considering that the page covers the Doctor's whole era rather than just his screen appearances, the Big Finish audios have certainly mellowed him for a majority of his tenure, and the first sentence of this article really does seem like is was written by someone who dislikes the Sixth Doctor, not acknowledging any positive traits at all. --Dalek194 ☎  14:06, December 23, 2013 (UTC)
