Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor in Doctor Who<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Speaking to Attractions Magazine<\/em><\/a>, Colin Baker – who played the Sixth Doctor for two troubled series between 1984 and 1986 – bemoaned the lack of classic Doctors in the Doctor Who<\/em><\/a> 50th Anniversary episode, ‘The Day Of The Doctor’.<\/p>\n

“I’m not in it,” said Baker. “I can say that Peter [Davison] isn’t because I’ve seen him recently. And I can tell you that Sylvester [McCoy] isn’t, and neither is Paul [McGann].<\/p>\n

“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. We are surplus baggage.”<\/p>\n

The Doctor Who<\/em> 50th anniversary special will air on 23 November 2013. Pick up the Doctor Who Series 7 <\/em>box set  on DVD for £34.50 <\/a>or Blu-ray for £36.33<\/a> from Amazon<\/a>.co.uk.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
