The Troughton Years.

Were did you get the music at the beginning?

[kamwrites]

The most amazing thing about this series is, with all the actors portraying the Doctor, the essence of the character hasn't been lost. You can see similarities in all of the incarnations. There is a sort of baseline that everyone lends their own voice to. It's absolute genius.

[dhollseed]

thanks for your uploads, i had to click around for ages until i found one that had actual clips and audio...most fan vids have external music blaring over them.

[superjoel01]

Whats the funky dr who theme at the beginning.

[gmodman1701]

John Pertwee FOREVER FTW

[LoveTimeLord]

Huh..Pat knew how to play the recorder..then again almost everyone can. lol

[eateroftheflame]

What's the best of the remaining Troughton stories? I'm trying to get some classic doctor DVDs.

[aewd1980]

@eateroftheflame - i can recommend the invasion, the krotons, the mind robber and the war games. classics all of them.

[flashrobbie]

@eateroftheflame For me it's Tomb of the Cybermen, there's a lovely little scene where Victoria, who lost her father to the daleks in the previous story, and the Doctor just talk while the others are sleeping.

[ktpmbrtn]

@eateroftheflame You should check out The Invasion, that might be a good place to start or i might suggest the Mind Robber that is quite a good story to check out

[zionic144nz]

Great!

[apoch003]

His episodes weren't "erased". They were destroyed in a fire at the BBC archival library.

[av3ryx]

@apoch003 They were wiped.

They were wiped (or "junked") by the BBC during the 1960s and 1970s for economic and space-saving reasons.

From the 'Doctor Who Missing Episodes' page of Wikipedia.

[lerxt42]

troughton and pertwee will always be the epitome of dr who

[dojokonojo]

is he saying that a lot of the older doctor who stories r lost forever because their film cant be found or something?

[spikelilgirl]

@dojokonojo Yep, the BBC erased all but seven of Troughton's stories. (The Ice Warriors still counts but two episodes are audio only.) The same with most of the first Doctor's stories. Not sure about the others.

[derekdingle]

its still dark and scary...

[adebrownmedia]

Although I'm a massive fan of it as a creative and amazing media force... It beggars belief that the BBC willingly destroyed programs which had already become iconic!!!

[Davros663]

6000th view yay

[sny625]

Too bad so many of the Troughton years are not available for viewing or on DVD i've only seen a few replayed episodes online.

[NyeTunes]

*cough* google "Loose Cannon". *cough*

[Lysiam]

yeah he is my favorite doctor

[fluffysbro]

For some reason, they never bothered to make a "Davidson Years" or a "McCoy Years" version of this series. Surely that would have the most logical thing to do, given that Troughton and Hartnell both had the notable handicap of BEING DEAD!

P.S: I mean no disrespect to either of them at all.

[ramydam]

@fluffysbro: This series is from before one could look back at the "Davidson Years", let alone the "McCoy Years". Look up "Doctor Who @ 40" for coverage of all the "Classic" Doctors.

[fluffysbro]

Then again, both those tapes (along with the Dalek early years and Cybermen early years) where made as chances to show rare episodes. I still think it is a shame we never saw a "McCoy Years" or a "Davidson Years" tape, especially because "The Colin Baker Years" and "The Tom Baker Years" were so good

[paulejohnson1]

Davison Years

[larryonlineone]

Patrick Troughton for me was the iconic Doctor. He played him straight with a bizarre sense of mystery and otherworldliness.After him it was played tongue-in cheek or campy. That is it turned into a joke and remains that way since,

[Trayusstudent1]

Will this be released on DVD?

[matthwe3468]

Jon Pertwee RIP

[FaerieCrone]

I remember that bloody yeti. Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

[warg29]

Thank you indeed for posting this. Troughton certainly was simply wonderful in his role as the Doctor. It's a great shame so much of it is lost.

[mikomi135]

@warg29 i think its pathetic that there are alot of "missing episodes" are actually in Africa being hold by that dictator twat :\

[BLUELUTRA]

@mikomi135 Who has them?

[bluecatcinema]

@warg29 But, in a splendid piece of Irony, Troughton was the Doctor who would reprise his role the most, returning in The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, and The Two Doctors.

[DavidPirtle]

@bluecatcinema Not to mention that the 11th doctor, Matt Smith, is doing his best Troughton imitation.

[FilmationArchive]

@warg29 it's a cultural crime. we've only got one more serial to be released on DVD at this stage, The Krotons, before his tenure is fully represented on DVD... terrible... though i'm glad that's the one left, because it's by robert holmes, allowing for the possibility of a 'robert holmes box set' sometime in the future.

[mattyCox2]

@warg29 I blame Terry Nation. If he wasn't such a bugger when it came to rights issues, more countries would have bought The Power of the Daleks. And because they didn't have that story, they had no introduction to the 2nd Doctor so they didn't want the rest of them! That's why there are loads more Hartnell episodes than Troughton in the archive :(
