12->''"To what extent is it just that [[Creator/ColinBaker Baker's]] Doctor is fatally flawed or miscast? As mentioned, [[AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho the audios]] do suggest that Baker is, in fact a skilled actor and that his Doctor can work, but then again, audio is a different medium... So much effort was put into making Baker's Doctor unlikable that, well, it succeeded to a real extent. Even if the eventual redemption had played out the fact remains that Baker's Doctor was always designed as being [[SociopathicHero a bit dodgy and flawed]]. No amount of redemption, it should be noted, would have undone this. The idea that this Doctor was fatally flawed was written into the basic concept of the character. Even after [[AdoptTheDog a seven season arc of redemption]] Baker's Doctor would still be defined as [[NeverLiveItDown the one that might have been bad.]]"''
