Yup, an unremitting drudge of work sleep work sleep.
I should have worked harder as a young person so I could retire now.

Alt: Tom Baker is streets ahead of Colin, on the Doctor Who front, and for being Captain Redbeard Rum.

But but but...!!!!!!!!!
Have you heard any of the BBC Big Finish audio adventures? They gave Colin a decent companion (a fifty-something history professor lady) and some pretty good stories.

He reminded me why I used to like him before the whole 'Trial of a Time Lord' debacle.

Sorry, not heard of Colin's efforts.
I would ask DG for a definitive answer if I were you.

Vervoids
wasn't that the one with the big talking flowers that looked like bell-ends? Someone in the SFX dept was clearly taking the piss by that point.

Their first adventure. All the surviving Doctors except Tom Baker have done these. They're done in four 30-min episodes, so you can retain that feeling of anticipation we used to get as kids.

No he fucking well did not.
He read 'The Iron Man'.

The Iron 'Giant' is a product of American spasticity of the kind that led to Harry Potter films beind named differently from the book.
