The Sixth Doctor on Hate: 'What Excuse Do You Have?'

Показать описание

Colin Baker's fantastic monologue from the Big Finsh audiobook Jubilee.

You can listen to the full audiobook on Spotify, or buy it from Big Finish. I recommend it to any fans, and think it's a great jumping on point both for the Sixth Doctor's serials and the audiobooks in general, (since Colin is pretty much the best audio doctor.) It's also my favourite Dalek story in any medium, so basically yeah go listen to it.

Incredible speech, only the Sixth Doctor could've pulled off something so savage yet horribly true.

I feel like Colin Baker and Paul McGann are just the perfect actors for Robert Shearmans writing. Powerful, forcefull voices for some genuinely scathing writing. Top stuff!

We need a speech like this in the modern show.

Everyone says 12 was the best at speeches (which is true) but the 6th is a close contender

Why, why, why is it that when BBC, BigFinish or anything remotely British in fiction has more sense of wisdom and foreboding than everything we have today? We're living in this story. We're the crowds in this scene.

I love this assessment. Daleks can't really be disagreeable in the traditional sense, they're just like that.

Good old Rob. Scathing writing, absolutely gorgeous.

Sixie is my favourite doctor and this speech gives me utter chills. No one and I mean no one can do scathing as well as colin baker. What a performance

Yep, that is the Sixth Doctor right there. I love Jubilee.

What’s incredible about this speech is that it’s not referring to just *one* kind of people. It’s regarding to *all* people, regardless of race, religion, sex, or anything else. We *all* have that capability to hate others, even for minor differences. Every time we feel the need to go out of our way to attack or harass someone for looking different than us, holding different values than us, or when they try to correct us, every time we decide we need to relentlessly attack or belittle people who disagree with us, we give in to that hatred. That evil. And we’ve *all* done this, no ones excluded. We need to stop giving into our hatred and anger, stop trying to attack those who disagree and try to come to a middle ground. If someone holds a different opinion than you, it’s alright. If someone is of a different political standpoint than you, it’s alright. If someone is of a different religion than you, it’s alright. If someone looks or sounds different than you, it’s alright.

We can’t just expect conformity or for everyone to think and feel the same way, then we’d be no different then the Daleks: thinking anything not like us is beneath us and worthy of either subjugation or death. Sure there are evils in this world that should be fought, but we shouldn’t repay nastiness with nastiness, cruelty with cruelty. We need to respect each other. I don’t care what you are: black or white, Republican or Democrat, Christian or atheist, and all other differences that you might find with others - the point is, we *need* to respect each other, no matter the differences. Otherwise, we’re no better than the Daleks, or Nazis, or Soviets, or whatever it is you want to throw in. Respect others, and in turn, others will (as they should) respect you. It’s not something that works 100% of the time, but man does it feel good.

I ordered a copy of this story and it arrived today. I listened to it during work and I enjoyed it. The Doctor's speech was the best part and I shared it with my supervisor, who is a Doctor Who fan and she agrees.
