Colin Baker Speaks His Mind on Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi


Sixth Doctor actor Colin Baker has spoken on the casting of Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor and the relative young age of Matt Smith who is currently in the role:

“I think Capaldi is a great idea, he’s an actor I’ve admired for years and he’s a grown up! Not like these 12-year-olds we’ve had lately. He’s a guy who’s done something and been somewhere.”

Colin was somewhat critical this week of the classic Doctors apparently not appearing in The Day of the Doctor, speaking to Orlando Attractions Magazine he said:

“If I told you my lips were sealed, you’d know I was in it… But my lips are not sealed and I’m not in it. I can say that Peter isn’t because I’ve seen him recently. And I can tell you that Sylvester isn’t, and neither is Paul. None of us have been deemed worthy of inclusion in a programme that celebrates 50 years of a British television programme, of which I was in it for three. No – we are surplus baggage.”
