Trials and Tribulations(2008)

Trials and Tribulations is a documentary examining Colin Baker's contentious tenure as the Sixth Doctor on Doctor Who. The film chronicles Baker's casting in the role, the BBC's controversial 1985 hiatus that nearly ended the series, and his eventual dismissal following pressure from BBC One controller Michael Grade. Through interviews and archival footage, the documentary traces the behind-the-scenes turmoil that defined three years of the iconic science-fiction show's history. Baker's era remains one of the most debated periods in Doctor Who's legacy, marked by creative friction, network interference, and the actor's determined fight to rehabilitate his character's reputation long after his departure from the TARDIS.
