Patrick Troughton (Doctor Who 2)
The Second Doctor was a complete change of pace from his predecessor. Whimsical, buffoonish, witty -- all of these were characteristics of the Doctor as portrayed by Patrick Troughton. The Doctor was no longer a grandfather figure, but rather more of a favourite uncle. Indeed, the slow transition of Hartnell's Doctor from a reluctant travelling companion to a more kindly compatriot was completed here, as the Second Doctor very much enjoyed embroiling himself in adventures with his assistants. Despite this Doctor's almost childlike recklessness, it was always clear to his allies that a keen, deliberate intellect lurked behind every action. Although the Second Doctor frequently gave the impression that he never knew what he was doing, this was simply an affectation: an act put on to fool those who would underestimate him. Patrick Troughton played the Doctor from The Power Of The Daleks in November 1966 to The War Games in June 1969. He also returned to the role for The Three Doctors (December 1972), The Five Doctors (November 1983), and The Two Doctors (February 1985). Troughton passed away in 1987 From: http://www.physics.mun.ca/~sps/2doc.html |
