From the Doctor to the Detective - a chat with Colin Baker - LouReviews LouReviews is a website which reviews, promotes and supports the arts - London theatre, films, books and digital theatre/TV

As a new adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in The Sign of Four plans a tour I chatted with actor Colin Baker.

We talk about the iconic characters with a touch of arrogance he's drawn to (Doctor Who), and who he'd most like to be remembered for.

Remembering Dorothy Mackaill, who died on this day in 1990.

Noted silent and pre-Code film actress who was born in Britain but went to Hollywood.

Retired in 1937 but made occasional TV appearances later in life.
