"Colin Baker has admitted that he is not bothered by being forever linked with Doctor Who. Baker, who played the show&amp;#039;s title character between 1984 and 1987, told Wales Online that he has no desire to end his association with the long-running sci-fi series. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ll ever move away from that and to be honest, I have no particular desire to move away from it,&amp;quot; the actor stated. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t understand those who are precious about these things. I don&amp;#039;t get it when actors say, &amp;#039;Oh that&amp;#039;s something I did 20 years ago, I don&amp;#039;t want to talk about&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; He also expressed satisfaction that the BBC now seems to value the franchise more highly than it did during his tenure as The Doctor. He further explained: &amp;quot;Let&amp;#039;s be honest, Doctor Who is special, it&amp;#039;s played a huge part in the British public&amp;#039;s consciousness. It&amp;#039;s good to see the BBC appreciating it and valuing it now, which they didn&amp;#039;t do during my time in the late &amp;#039;80s. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve enjoyed immensely watching it. However when I left, the ratings were exactly the same, 5 to 6 million, as they are now, they were no different. I know the television landscape has changed but it&amp;#039;s ironic nonetheless.&amp;quot; Doctor Who is to return for a sixth series in 2011. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
