DR WHO star Colin Baker angrily ended his space travels yesterday.<br />
<br />
He resigned from his starring role, after BBC chiefs warned that they were preparing to replace him during the next series.<br />
<br />
They had decided that the famous Time Lord needed a new face and were only ready to offer 41-year-old Baker four episodes in the new series to be filmed next spring.<br />
<br />
The outraged star, who rose to fame in TV's The Brothers, chose to resign immediately. His agent Barry Burnett said last night. 'Colin is sorry and disappointed to be leaving a part he loved.'<br />
<br />
The six-week period it would take to film the four episodes at the end of March is a vital time for casting major stage and television shows. and the actor did not want to miss the opportunity to find fresh work.<br />
<br />
Baker, the sixth Dr Who, joined the cult sci-fi series in 1983.<br />
