- The audio comes from a very rare and probably unique cassette recording of British actor Patrick Troughton who visited Concord, New Hampshire (USA) about one year before his death. Some years ago I posted a 1 minute clip from this recording and I have had numerous requests to post more. I have all of the audio from this event, which ran about an hour. Patrick Troughton is much loved as the Second Doctor Who. At the time he came to New Hampshire his stories had hardly been broadcast so the fans at this Meet & Greet really were not sure what to ask him. Not only did I record the audio but I also took the photos that are used in the production of this video. I was very lucky to have this opportunity and needless to say I never knew how popular this would be two decades later. I hope you find this to be entertaining.
This was one of the few conventions that I ever attended. I remember that Pat came on during the costume contest dressed in Tom Baker coat, hat, and scarf completely obscuring his face. When he unwrapped, the audience was amazed. At least I was.
Thanks for posting this.
Pat was infact the genuine article all along.
I think it's ironic yet sweet that he made peace with the fact that a lot of his episodes were lost, but still believed that there were more copies out there and had faith they would come back someday. Sad he wouldn't live to see 16 further episodes of his being found since this convention occurred.
“Old Pertwee and I, we have got a really good rapport - we hate each other,”
Ha! Yes, that was a fun line to hear.
Oh! I was there! The long lost Highway Hotel, exit 14 off of 93 North. Troughton walked among the fans, disguised as a costume contest participant. He took the stage dressed as a heavily clad Tom Baker, and threw off the disguise to the delight of the crowd.
Ah, youth!...
That's cool that you were also there. Did you check to see if you are in the crowd shots?
I cannot see myself, but you wouldn't have missed me in the 15 foot scarf my grandmother made. I did not attend the Q&A part.
@@geoffolehane 2:28, the still of you and Tom Baker. The fellow in the lower right is my old friend Leo, so I am guessing that it'sTom Baker's appearance in Boston? I was there, also.
Best. Doctor. Ever! Most. Amazing. Person. Ever.
He seemed very charming at the time.
Read it and weep, David Tennant.
Thank you for posting this! Troughton seems so modest and open talking about his career. Lucky you to have met him.
Thank you. It was an experience I will not forget. A sidebar to this. I needed to run back to my car to grab more batteries for my cassette recorder just to be on the safe side. I nearly ran into him head-on in the hallway. I never made it back to my car because I didn't want to miss the press conference. I was lucky that the batteries held for the whole thing. I was in a bit of a panic mode.
This is incredible history and need to be looked after
Will always be my favourite doctor. Perfect in the part and a top quality performer.
Sorry for the delay. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
In my opinion. he was the most compassionate Doctor
I watched Dr Who when it first aired with William Hartnell. I'd no idea it was so popular in the USA. The first episode was aired the day after the death of President Kennedy.
Funny how he says the Krotons wasn't too good a story, I felt the same way. I thought it was just me~
I enjoy hearing Pat speak, he seemed so fun and sweet.
The strange thing is the actors may of found the Krotons story lacking from their perspective, but the public liked it, as the story had pretty high audience numbers, i think the highest for that final season.
Sorry for the delayed response. I have the Krotons DVD. I watched it once about 10 years ago when it was released. I haven't watched it since. Maybe I need to revisit it.
Fantastic actor, a very nice man and great Doctor Who. One of the greatest mysteries of the last 29 years is that Patrick's resting location has never been revealed. Robbing us of floral tributes.
About time there was petition for a statue in his birthplace of Mill Hill, North London
I wonder if that statue ever came to pass.
Only 6 of his stories remain?!? Shame on you BBC for destroying the rest. Thank you for the audio and photos.
Absolutely! This video does follow the reconstruction theme ironically. 😎
This was back then he has much more completes stories now and animated most of the full missing ones
I’m glad more of his stories are being found. I wish he could see them.
They have been animating some of them. I have mixed feelings about the animated ones because I'd rather see the telesnaps edited in a way to coincide with the dialogue. But it is one way to enjoy the experience.
Jeffrey Lyons I was talking about the at the time hardly any of his story were found and now we have recently got enemy of the world and the web of fear . And underwater Menace part two. I don’t really like the animation either. BBC are cheap
There was a video clip of his final day in the Columbus, Georgia convention here on UA-cam but it has been since deleted.
Finally found out what became of Patrick's remains. He was cremated in the USA and his ashes scattered here in Bushy Park, Teddington. His widow never invited any of his family to the ceremony. I think there must have been some bitterness somewhere along the way.
Sorry for the delayed response. I do remember seeing that Georgia video. The ashes story is very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome. I'm glad I still have the audio.
Retro I was living near there then. I don't remember them airing the Hartnell and Troughton stories until 89 or 90. But it has been a long time.
OMG I never knew he was 40 minutes away from me in “86 and the doctor is my hero!!!!!!!
I really hope they recover power of the daleks in its entirety one day, that serial is a masterpiece
Shame there's no footage of Jon and Pat's famous waterpistol fights.
You must be from England. So you were able to watch some of the 1960's era stories that the BBC wiped from their archives. I'm envious. Yes it has quite a following here in the US. Thanks for watching and commenting.
2:58 Patrick Troughton is asked about the Doctor Who missing episodes.
WENH 11 had aired his episodes by this time.
Yes they did. It is good that a few others have been found in recent years
1:15 why does he sound like Sylvester McCoy?
This was in 1986. Colin Baker was the current Doctor at this point. Sylvester McCoy didn't become Number 7 until about a year after this.
