Although he has starred in The Brothers, Blake's 7, Juliet Bravo and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Colin is possibly best known for playing Doctor Who's sixth incarnation between 1984-86. Although the series ended in 1989, interest in the show still thrives and Colin is regularly called upon to reprise his role in a series of professional audio plays that are regularly released on CD. We asked you to send in your questions for Colin who graciously agreed to an interview with BBC Wiltshire. This took place backstage at the Wyvern Theatre on Friday 10th January 2003. What does he think of the Eighth Doctor Who - Paul McGann and who would be his choice for the role of the Doctor if the series was to return? Has he ever read any of the many Doctor Who novels featuring his incarnation and of all the Big Finish audio adventures he has recorded, which is his favourite? These are just some of the questions we received out of the great many that were sent in. To hear his answers to a selection of your questions, just click on the Real Audio link below.
