If this had been at the start of Season 22 it wouldn't be such a disaster, of course, as it could have quickly been forgotten as the series progressed. But having it at the end of Peter's last season imo doomed poor Colin from the start.
I think he had a hand in his own downfall, buying in to all that being dislikeable and shouting and bellowing all over the place - with no thought of reigning it in at any point and keeping it theatrical all the way.
Just imagine if this had been Peter's last story though. What a story to go out on!

Not a good start for Colin's Doctor but miles ahead of Sylv's first story and Peri's outfit drew my interest almost immediately! Such a shame they never revealed Azmael to be Kananpo Rinpoche which would have increased the interest in this story no end! JB

Oh dear. It’s not very good is it?

Zero from me.
I lent it in curiosity from a fan friend at the time. By the time of the first cliffhanger, with the nasty bickering over Hugo I was at the end of my patience with it. When Hugo pulled his gun in a cliffhanger that seemed like it could've been resolved easily with a kick, I'm not sure I even cared if this horrible Doctor would survive or not.
I stopped the tape and took it back immediately.
Took me eight years to brave the rest.

Would have helped much more to have the reveal that Azmael was really K'Anpo Rinpoche and not Edgeworth or whoever that we had never seen or heard of before considering he was one of the Doctor's teachers and old friends from Gallifrey! JB

At times it seems as if Colin was jinxed from the start? Full size

I'd rather they had given us another story for Davo, giving him an extra adventure with him and Peri, then ended the season with Caves of Androzani....
One of JNT's biggest cock ups...
IMHO...

Which then begs the question, what if Davison's penultimate story was The Twin Dilemma and not something else entirely? Without the 'throttling Peri' scene, and a few other post-regeneration TARDIS scenes, how would the story have fared?

Without the 'throttling Peri' scene, and a few other post-regeneration TARDIS scenes, how would the story have fared? I'd rather have had a different story entirely. Like Cyggy said, save the Twin Dilemma for for Colin's first series opener. Maybe, if it was possible, give Davo Timelash.... Oh dear... I shouldn't have said anything...

Another Cyberman episode for Davison should have happened I think although that might have scuppered Attack of The Cybermen with Lytton's return I guess... JB

Is that correct about Colin Baker speeding and being banned for driving after travelling at over fifty eight miles an hour in a thirty mile zone? His excuse was that he had lost sight of the van ahead of him that was part of his convoy to his next signing or something like that? He'll notice that absence of cash in his pocket from the lack of sold autographs and photos I'm sure... JB
