The Sixth Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. He is portrayed by Colin Baker. Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end of life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor changes. Baker portrays the sixth such incarnation: conceived by producer John Nathan-Turner and Baker to be an arrogant and abrasive character. The Sixth is flamboyantly dressed in brightly coloured, mismatched clothes with a patronising personality intentionally written and portrayed to set him apart from all his previous incarnations.
