Respected and loved, Patrick Troughton is probably best remembered as the second Doctor Who - a role in which he made television history. A prolific actor, he was also a complex and troubled man, constantly wrestling with two lives, one of which he was determined to keep secret.
Michael Troughton presents here an entertaining and personal account of his father’s professional and private life. Meticulously researched, he explores Patrick’s childhood, his experiences at sea during World War II and the successful acting career which led to his historic casting as Doctor Who in 1966. Patrick’s Doctor Who years are recalled in vivid detail, from his initial uncertainty about taking on the part through the legendary ‘monster years’, to his troubled final season and three subsequent returns to the role.
In this fascinating biography, Patrick’s extraordinary career and his multi-layered personal life are enhanced by the memories of family members, actors, friends and colleagues. Michael peppers the book with revealing extracts from Patrick’s own diaries, and many rare and personal photographs. This book is an honest, affectionate and complete account of Patrick Troughton the actor, and Patrick Troughton the man.
Michael brings his father to life with his wonderful narration. Had the pleasure of meeting Patrick in the 80's and he will always be my Doctor.
Beautifully narrated by Michael Troughton. I'm very interested in the book about his father, Patrick Troughton who I truly adore. Thank you!
Patrick Troughton - quality always finds a way. I look forward to listening to this biography.
I'm glad that his came up in my feed today, even though it's 4 years old. I just had to say... I have a son, and his name is Patrick. And if you look at my username here, you'll know why.
I know it's "just" idolisation on my behalf, but Patrick still means a lot to me...
I would highly recommend this excellent book to any fan of the best Doctor, Patrick Troughton.
A Very interesting listen.
