Who played the sixth Doctor?

Colin Baker played the sixth Doctor in the television series Doctor Who, taking on the role from 1984 to 1986.


Was Doctor Who on in the 80s?

Yes, very much so. Tom Baker played the 4th Doctor up until '81, then Peter Davison was the 5th Doctor up until 1984. Colin Baker (no relation to Tom Baker) was The Doctor from '84 to '86, then Sylvester McCoy took over as the 7th Doc until 1989, when the series was axed by the BBC. The series was not then revived until 2005, when Welsh TV scriptwriter Russell T. Davies persuaded the BBC to bring it back with Christopher Ecclestone playing the 9th Doctor and Billie Piper as his companion Rose Tyler. However, a Doctor Who film was made in 1996 starring Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor.
