Regenerations #1-11 and What’s in Store for #12: Part 6 We've got magic to do

Regenerations #1-11 and What’s in Store for #12 A twelve part series on the episodes, serials, and one Movie that surround the most iconic piece of Doctor Who Cannon, The Regeneration and what will be coming for Peter Capaldi

Part 6-

After a brief break, Sylvester McCoy was brought in as the next doctor.  From his first moments, he made his mark.  He moved and acted differently from the other Doctors.  He was a complete departure from Colin Baker’s crazy, mad Doctor.  The sixth Doctor was more intellectual but still personal.  He was a jaunting, jocular Doctor easy with a magic trick or two to pull out.  We go back to the regular order of events and episodes.  Although the series never regained the rating and love it had in the 70’s with Tom Baker, Sylvester did a wonderful job creating a new twist on an old character.  He never got a regeneration of the TV series but later was called in to regenerate into Paul McGann for the TV movie.

 Part 5- Trials and Tribulations 

An epic production of length, Trial of a Time Lord, finds the Doctor having to defend his life, his lifestyle and personal choices.  The punishment for being found guilty would be permanent death.  Several things are mentioned often about this episode that do not seem to fit in to traditional Doctor Who lore.  Many people objected to the death of Peri so they made it not happen.  There is a lot of jumping about, mental, in this episode and it doesn't seem to flow properly.  The internal issues at BBC had plagued Colin Baker’s tenure as the Doctor and would flavor even his death.  He didn't even get a proper regeneration.
