Great to know there's another 6th doctor fan out there! Peter Davison's tenure was over far too quickly. Looking forward to your reviews of the Colin Baker years and what you think about the introduction of another Time Lord (Lady). Spoilers!

Planet Of Fire- This is one of the most unmemorable stories in the show's history in my opinion. Ask me tomorrow to name one supporting character or even give a detailed description of the plot and I wouldn't be able to. It isn't a bad story by any means, just really forgettable. The location shooting makes this one of the best looking stories from classic Who. The dialogue is fine, but the characters are bland. The Master isn't really used that effectively in this story. Anthony Ainley does his best, but the way the character is used just doesn't feel very Master-ey to me if that makes sense. This is the story that introduces Nicola Bryant as Peri, and is the final story for Mark Strickson as Turlough. It works as a departure story for Turlough, because this story neatly wraps up his character arc that has been building from his introductory story. Unfortunately it isn't as good in regards to being an introductory story for a new companion. Nicola Bryant is good, but her character is so purely written and unlikable to start with in my opinion (the character doesn't coke into her own until the Colin Baker era in my opinion). Overall- 6-10. The Caves Of Androzani- This is my second favourite regeneration story (second only to The War Games). I can't believe we are already at the end of the Davison era, but what a way to go out. This is one the best Doctor Who stories ever. Peter Davison gives his best performance, he is incredible here. Nicola Bryant is also good. The whole story feels very gritty and dangerous. None of the characters are particularly likeable, and this story does a greag job at showing there are good and bad people on both sides in a conflict. Sharaz Jek is a fantastic villain. Christopher Gable played the character wonderfully, aided by superb dialogue. The character is the perfect mix of creepy and insane, but also respectable. He has a love for art, and you kind of feel sorry for him when you find out what his story is. The reason for the Doctor's regeneration is one of best, not because of what kills him, but how he acts. He has the option to either save himself or Peri (and remember at this point he barely knows her). He chooses to save her and face death, and he really does believe that he will die, making his choice even more onoactful. As I've mentioned when talking about previous stories, the 5th Doctor is one of the nicest and most human Doctors, and he really does care for people, which is why it feels so natural for this incarnation of the Docotr to be faced with a choice like that and make that decision. I also think that the regeneration itself is one of the most unique and visually interesting of all of them. Overall- 10/10 Colin Baker has arrived, and I am more than happy about that. I am part of the group who absolutely loves the 6th Doctor, even in his earlier stories when he is at his arguably most unlikable point. I find it refreshing to have a Doctor who is arrogant and occasionally rude and will say what he thinks (I also like how Capaldi's version of the Doctor shares some parallels with the characterisation of the 6th Doctor), and this unpredictable and more alien feeling personality is a welcome change after the nice, kind personality of the 5th Doctor. Mini rant over.

You'd better go and check!
