Patrick George Troughton (born 25 March 1920 in Mill Hill, London, died 28 March 1987 in Columbus, Georgia) played the Second Doctor from 1966 until 1969, beginning with an uncredited appearance at the conclusion of The Tenth Planet, continuing from The Power of the Daleks to The War Games.
He reprised the role in The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors and The Two Doctors. Since his death in 1987, his appearances in modern multi-Doctor stories were represented by archive footage and body doubles.
Career overview
Troughton was best known as a film and television actor, decrying theatre as "shouting in the evenings". Making his broadcast debut in 1946, science fiction came early in his career with a BBC adaptation of the Karel Čapek play R.U.R.. Another early role in a TV adaptation of Hamlet led to his casting as the Player King in Laurence Olivier's 1948 film version of the play. In 1953, he became the first actor to play the folk hero Robin Hood on television, starring in six half-hour episodes broadcast on the BBC. In homage to this, an image of Troughton as Robin Hood appeared briefly in the 2014 Doctor Who episode Robot of Sherwood as part of a computer database detailing the legend of the hero. At the time of his Doctor Who casting, Troughton was best remembered for Paul of Tarsus, but his favourite role had been Daniel Quilp in The Old Curiosity Shop. In 1964, Smuggler's Bay had been his first brush with Frazer Hines, who recalled in 2005: "the day before filming began, I'd actually put my hand through a plate glass window, and I turned up with these great bandages on... Years later, when I saw Patrick for Doctor Who, the first day of filming he said 'How's the hand?'. He remembered. And that was the sort of man he was." Troughton's fears that Doctor Who would typecast him thankfully proved misguided when he started rehearsals for The Six Wives of Henry VIII a week after leaving the series. In the '70s, he took guest roles in Doomwatch, Colditz, Z-Cars, Survivors and Space: 1999. Meanwhile, film roles included Clove in Scars of Dracula (1970), Father Brennan in The Omen (1976) and Melanthius in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977). In the ‘70’s and the '80s, Troughton ventured into comedy, appearing on The Two Ronnies and The Kenny Everett Television Show alongside sitcom roles in Foxy Lady and The Two of Us. He also enjoyed a guest spot on The Goodies episode “The Baddies”. He played Cole Hawlings in a BBC dramatisation of John Masefield's children's book The Box of Delights (1984), in which he played the very Doctor-like role of a mysterious but benevolent old man with magical powers who has the power to travel through time. The last programme Troughton worked on was Supergran, in 1987, but Knights of God, a 13-part series he had filmed in 1985, was broadcast later, making it the final new production he was seen in on screen. In 1966, months before taking the role of the Doctor, he was almost cast as Johnny Ringo in The Gunfighters. (TCH 7)
Death
Troughton's health was never entirely robust. Stress, a heavy smoking habit (he quit smoking in the '60s but the damage to his body was already done), a drinking problem — like William Hartnell, Troughton was a heavy drinker — and a heavy television and film workload did not help. His heavy smoking eventually led to an operation to remove one of his lungs (Who And Me, autobiography of Barry Letts). He refused to accept his doctor's advice to live a more healthy lifestyle and to adopt a physical exercise regimen. He suffered two major heart attacks, one in 1978 and the other in 1984, which prevented him from working for several months. His doctor's warnings were again ignored. On the weekend of 27 March 1987, Troughton was a guest at the Magnum Opus Con II media fan convention in Columbus, Georgia. He was in good spirits throughout the day's panels and looked forward to a belated birthday celebration which was planned for the coming Saturday evening and a showing of The Dominators which Troughton had requested, on the Saturday afternoon (although he had admitted to a fan during a Q&A session he found the story to be rather dull). Videotape footage purported to be of Troughton speaking to fans at this convention, exists and has been posted to YouTube. In this final recorded piece of the actor during his life, Troughton is shown playing his trademark recorder for the last time. Unfortunately, discerning viewers may notice that he is in physical distress. Troughton can be seen in unusual discomfort throughout his session with his fans, clearing his throat repeatedly. This was a warning sign of what would result in his demise. Troughton suffered his third and final heart attack at 7:25 AM the next day (28 March 1987) just after he had ordered his breakfast from the hotel staff. According to the paramedics who were called, Troughton had died instantly. He was 67.
Troughton was the father of actors David and Michael Troughton. He was the grandfather of Warwickshire cricketer Jim Troughton, and actors Sam Troughton and Harry Melling. The latter is most known for playing Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter franchise, and the former for playing Much in the 2006 Robin Hood BBC series.
An archive interview with Troughton was used as part of the audio commentary for the DVD release of The Underwater Menace, whilst a further interview from The Doctor Who File was read out by an actor for the documentary The Power of the Daleks - From Script to Screen. The latter also featured archive recordings of with Troughton from 1972 and 1984.
Frazer Hines and Michael Troughton recreated the role of the Second Doctor for Big Finish's audio adventures, whilst David Troughton portrayed a cloned version in AudioGO's Serpent Crest audio series.
In Bafflement and Devotion, an extremely meta-fictional story, Paul Magrs mentioned that the Second Doctor "was" Patrick Troughton. It should be noted that Iris Wildthyme (one of the main characters in the story) was also described as "being" an actor, but not in the sense of actually being said character, but a lookalike.
