I guess Colony from Space wasn't bad. I was enjoying it for at least three episodes, lots of meaty stuff about colonization and resource exploitation and unscrupulous companies, etc., etc., but *tears face* I have yet to see a six-parter that merited the running length. The most I can say for them is that some of them would make a really good and pacy four-parter rather than the usual slightly anemic and padded-out four-parter.
At least in the Tom Baker years they confined themselves to one six-parter a season. You could brace for it and recover again afterwords.
