Saward made Six unusually violent and callous, c.f Shockeye and the acid bath on Varos. This just shows how important context is, the joking or indifferent reactions upset some people.
I actually quite liked that aspect to Six. It reminded me of Tom Baker during his most kick-ass during Season 13(even if the writing/production values/direction weren't quite as up to scratch).
I fucking hated it when Six's character was muted down to being a pure bumbling oaf in the subsequent Trial Season, it sucked big time.
It was like having a season of (admittedly sub-par) Hinchcliffe immediately followed by a season of the very worst sub-par Graham Williams.
Colin Baker's era was basically like an inferior distillation of the 7 year Tom Baker era condensed into a Season and a half.
