Colin Baker would love Five(ish) Doctors Reboot sequel

Colin Baker would love to make a sequel to \'The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot\'.

The comedy spoof - which also starred Time Lords Sylvester McCoy, Peter Davison and Paul McGann - was made for the sci-fi show\'s 50th anniversary in 2013, and Colin in up for another celebration in 2023.

He told Den of Geek: "In theory, I\'ve spoken to Peter, Paul and Sylvester about it, and they\'re all up for it. If it happened, we\'d do it.

"That was lovely doing [The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot]. Everyone did it for nothing.

"So a sequel - going back to the same well, all those camera people, make-up people, the locations for free - we would have to do it on a more commercial basis and the BBC probably wouldn\'t let us do that."

The special 30-minute special - which also featured the likes of David Tennant, Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, John Barrowman, then-showrunner Steve Moffatt and Russell T Davies - followed fictionalised versions of Colin, McCoy and Davison trying to land a role in the anniversary episode \'The Day of the Doctor\'.

However, Colin wasn\'t keen on Tom Baker making a cameo appearance as the mysterious curator in the actual special itself.

He said: "If you weren\'t a Doctor Who fan, what was it about? For me, it was a good story, then all of a sudden they put Tom in, because it was Tom, and we could all go, \'Ahhhh, Tom.\'

"You stop believing in the story. You could put us [the classic Doctors] in it, but it has to make sense.

"We were all a little bit miffed - yes, Tom did it longer than anybody else, but do you have to rub our faces in that all of the time?[...] What was he? What was he doing there?\'

"You\'ve got to have believability. The best things on television, however far-fetched they are, have a certain internal logic. You tell me the internal logic of having Tom there?"
