Sophie AldredHOST
So what happened in between?
Rona MunroGUEST
Oh, I think, I, I vividly remember when I came out from behind my cushion, and I remember when, um, William Hartnell regenerated into Patrick Troughton.
Sophie AldredHOST
Ooh.
Rona MunroGUEST
And I, you know, was peering over my, and there was this impish little guy leaping around, playing a recorder, and I went, "Oh, I like him." And I really warmed to him and the stories that he was involved in.
Rona MunroGUEST
And so I think that was it.
Rona MunroGUEST
William Hartnell scared the bejesus out of me, but I loved Patrick Troughton, loved him.
Rona MunroGUEST
And then, so from then I was hooked, and I was that bit older as well.
Sophie AldredHOST
Mm.
StevenHOST
September 16th, 1966.
StevenHOST
Patrick Troughton is contracted to play the second doctor in the quote-unquote renewal sequence at the end of the 10th planet episode 4.
StevenHOST
He's basically contracted to lie down on the floor as the very futuristic dissolve that they crafted three years prior in testing the TARDIS sequence was used to fade from one actor to another at the end of the 10th planet.
WarrenHOST
And, you know, I don't mind Regenergy and all that, but I really didn't mind dissolving into one guy to the other either, so...
Nathan BottomleyHOST
Mark Cory as time goes by.
Nathan BottomleyHOST
I mean, Pat Troughton's not much like Mark Cory, but he is at least younger and a little bit kind of, um-
Melvin PenaGUEST
Mobile
Nathan BottomleyHOST
[laughs] Yeah, mobile.
Nathan BottomleyHOST
Mark Cory as time goes by.
Nathan BottomleyHOST
I mean, Pat Troughton's not much like Mark Cory, but he is at least younger and a little bit kind of, um, mobile.
Nathan BottomleyHOST
[laughs]
Melvin PenaGUEST
Yeah, mobile.
Jim BeardHOST
Hartnell should be fairly easy to do something else, right? Right.
Jim BeardHOST
Because Hartnell was a type, you know, and then Troughton came in very different.
Jim BeardHOST
He was a type.
Jim BeardHOST
Pertwee comes in and boy, oh boy, you can still do something different.
8 MINS LATER
John S. DrewHOST
This is him many years later saying he was only going to do one more season.
John S. DrewHOST
Okay.
John S. DrewHOST
he'd already heard the stories of Troughton talking to Peter Davison and saying, do three and get out.
John S. DrewHOST
And he was like, you know, I just wanted to do one more.
MelvinPANELIST
I like when she and this is just jumping ahead but it's just a moment again like you're pointing out towards the end where she wakes up from the dream that was induced by the memory worm who we also haven't yet talked about and she's like oh purple hat I really like that purple hat laughter It just gave me it gave me like, you know, because we're seeing a lot of this for the first time through Joe Martin's eyes and through her voice.
MelvinPANELIST
It gave me a sort of, you know, Patrick Troughton.
MelvinPANELIST
I should like a hat like that energy.
MelvinPANELIST
But it is her
AdrianHOST
And because of that success, the idea is adapted back into Doctor Who television in 1968.
ClaraHOST
As the Patrick Troughton serial fury from the deep.
AdrianHOST
Yes.
AdrianHOST
And this is where the translation between mediums gets really, really interesting.
ClaraHOST
a story that was born as a radio play designed to exploit the fear of the unseen was adapted into a visual medium, only to have its visuals literally destroyed.
ClaraHOST
It has forcefully returned to its natural state.
AdrianHOST
yes but is it actually a better story because the visuals were destroyed like when doctor who fans listen to that surviving audio cassette of fury from the deep they often argue it is one of the most terrifying stories of the patrick troughton era
ClaraHOST
it's incredibly tense
Matt DennisGUEST
If I ...
Matt DennisGUEST
I love Troughton, I love Tom Baker, I love, um, David Tennant.
Matt DennisGUEST
They, they would always probably be near the top five.
Matt DennisGUEST
It's somewhere in the top five.
16 MINS LATER
Baz GreenlandHOST
[laughs]
Matt DennisGUEST
Oh, dear.
Matt DennisGUEST
I also love that he did two, is it, he, two Troughtons, two Bakers.
Matt DennisGUEST
Two Tom Bakers, I think.
Mark RawlinsGUEST
I just think, where, yeah, where was everybody? That is the problem.
Mark RawlinsGUEST
Or it, was this around the time, no, it was a bit later, wasn't it, when Sydney Newman got involved and said Patrick Troughton should come back as well?
Joe FordHOST
Oh, yeah.
Joe FordHOST
[laughs]
Gary AkersHOST
Now against Kirk, I would put, um, oh boy, I would, uh, I don't know.
Gary AkersHOST
I honestly, for Kirk, I think maybe like Patrick Troughton.
