Wrong quippy British pop culture icon.

Colin Baker fans always bring up that scene in "Deadly Assassin" where the Chancellor is strapped into a brainwave machine. He dies before he can reveal the plan and the Tom Baker goes, “Never a straight answer, typical politician.” That’s also the point where church ladies started writing angry letters.
Tom can say some dark shit and it sounds hysterical. I could try to rationalize it by saying the Fourth Doctor is tired of characters like K-9 refusing to explain the plot. But really, it’s just charisma.
Later the BBC decided the show was too violent and they blamed Colin.
