Patrick Troughton calls Colin Baker Miss Piggy (and more in this interview!)

[No1vertigofan]

Interesting video from 1987? if so, this could be one of the last interviews with Patrick Troughton as he had an heart attack in 1987 at a Dr Who con in USA. Also its an hilarious he calls Colin Baker(Fat Colin) Miss Piggy lol

[stuartwarwick]

Watching this interview has brought a big smile to my face.

[shmikex]

I wish I watched Doctor Who when I was growing up and it was on PBS.

[SpecialAgentRavage]

anyone else grin when they heard one of the previous doctors has a son named david? :)

rip patrick troughton

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

@SpecialAgentRavage real life tardis

[BMassey1987]

troughton seems a little like wilf here.

[mcmillanmadness]

sedriously, rose/martha/donna/amy don't hold a candle to peri, course never saw them in bikinis now. might just change my mind.

[mcmillanmadness]

speaking of peri, gotta be without the doubt the best looking companion in the series ever!, except for her teeth, and who can say they didn't like her in a bikini. I'm not gonna bother telling you what happened after seeing her in that, u figure that one out.

[mcmillanmadness]

well he has to call colin something, and with that puffed up curly blonde locks and bad clothing sense well, it just fits. not a bad actor colin, alright he's great but you shouldn't have ever let the producers and others make you wear that hideous mockup. seriously. saw what he planned on wearing on the twin dilemna dvd and thought it would have suited his character. u know complete flipping loony doctor whom thinks he's the best looking ever and strangles his companion nearly to death.

[MrJacMac1986]

Patrick is being interviewed by John Oates of Hall and Oates

[tsartodd]

@MrJacMac1986 lol i thought it was Bababooey from Howard Stern but John Oates will do too :D

[GetterRay]

I'm sure they got along off camera. I've got a picture of Troughton riding on top of Baker's shoulders in a pool. Both of them half nude wearing swimming trunks. Yeah...

[jamalshookup]

This is a great find! Have you let the BBC know about this clip? I'm sure they;d love to have it (or a copy of it) so they can add it as a DVD bonus to a PT DW episode.

[themirrorsofmymind]

Oh, Mr. Troughton, you are wicked!

[corkbender]

This is great, thanks for posting it. It's so sad that the BBC destroyed so many of his episodes.

[dancingmonkey08]

aw Colin, did you really have to dislike this thoroughly entertaining video lol

[grant24678]

I love Troughton in this interview but he seems to be forgetting things

[tomattah]

Interesting that both men appear to be wearing the same outfit - and that the outfit is rather seventh doctor...!

[chocolateislove]

The host dude's hair and mustache is hilarious.

[col06]

@chocolateislove

Thought it was that harry enfield sketch about scousers for a minute there

[dw29392]

When was this from?

[simonross1977]

Fella on the left looks like one of Harry Enfields scousers lol

( People from outside of the UK, type in the above, I am sur you will agree )

[PompamooseMagique]

What a guy :') All the classic Doctors seem like Doctorish sorts in real life, I've noticed, and that's what I love about Matt Smith, he seems Doctorish in real life

[Tizmaole]

The beard actually looks quite nice; he should've kept it.

[Monkofmagnesia]

"No! We're not fund raising. Relax." Good thing he said that, or I would have changed the channel.

[TimelordTVRevolution]

Lol Miss Piggy. Such a Pat thing to do. I love watching him in the 3/5/2 Doctors. Him and Pertwee should have had there own TV show togther great double act [love Colin/all the Doctors to] thank u 4 the upload

[clofts]

That was awesome :)

[unclethursday]

I remember this. I used to watch Doctor Who on NJN every Saturday night.

[BowTiesareCool12]

"Oh Miss Piggy?" "Miss Piggy's very good any way." lol and lay off of him that was his thing he made fun of the other actors who played the doctor and he was good friends with most of them. don't call the little one mean!

[Loulovesdr]

that was so rude there was no need for that i dont think he was over weight

[cybertaylor]

@Loulovesdr he idleised troughton and were good freinds so might be like pertwee

[Popcultureguy3000]

@Loulovesdr I think it was a joke about how angry Colin Baker's Doctor would get, especially if it was a well written episode.

[andrewdafoe]

love how the door is just a small bit open makes you wonder what is the other side of the door...:D

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@andrewdafoe

No it doesn't.

[andrewdafoe]

@p3rs0nan0ngrata yea it does! look closely

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@andrewdafoe

I said 'doesn't', not 'isn't'

[SuperSmasher1]

Oh, he passed away the next year?

How very sad, he always seemed to have the most respect for the show, a bit like Colin, Sylvester, David and Matt.

[mintyspace]

I love Patrick Throughton, I think he was a brilliant Doctor and Brilliant actor in general, but man that was just rude and unnecessary. How would he like it if one of his children were over weight and some smart arse on TV was calling them Miss Piggy??

[clydetwopointoh]

@mintyspace Insulting the other actors that succeeded him as the Doctor was part of Troughton's act. It started with him and Jon Pertwee, who were quite good friends but you'd never know it by their appearances together, and continued. There is a famous story of he and Pertwee getting into a water pistol war at one of the conventions.
