→Seventh Doctor(1987-1989)
The Sixth Doctor was premised around being the antithesis of his predecessor, with his garish and color-mismatched costume reflecting the vast contrast with the mild-mannered fifth Doctor. In terms of characterization, the Doctor became something of an unstable character, often violently responding to people and events around him. The Sixth Doctor is the first Doctor to be played by two different actors. In ''The Time and the Rani,'' he was briefly played by Sylvester McCoy, just long enough for the regeneration in to his next incarnation, as [[Colin Baker]] had declined to return for a regeneration sequence, making him the first actor to play the Doctor to not film a regeneration.

After the departure of Colin Baker, [[Sylvester McCoy]]'s depiction of the Doctor saw the series shift mood considerably. Early stories within the era depicted a somewhat comic and light-hearted Doctor, but over time the Doctor's character became steadily darker - a development that has been commonly described as making the Doctor a manipulating, scheming character who influenced events like a chess game.
