I’m about 5 years late to this but, this really touched me. Troughton is my favourite interpretation of the Doctor character and, being a very casual fan over the years, found myself adopting certain aspects of his personality and demeanour. I’ve also experienced some self-doubt and bouts with depression. Hearing you perfectly capture the truth in Troughton’s voice means the world to me. Thank you 🙏
When artists such as yourself produce little stories like this with such a high quality of writing and acting, I actually prefer them to much of what the new series has offered. Please keep this stuff coming as and when you can Chris! Daz.
I remember Graham talking to 13 about cancer, and she know what to reply. Yet here you've made a classic Doctor like the 2nd able to cope depression. Thank you sir
I have never listened to anything so sad, yet so beautiful before. I never thought I'd say this about a fan made audio drama but this makes big finish look like children. I read on twitter how you based this off your real life, and all I can say is, this video in itself shows how much the world needs you. So just, Thank you.
Pat would be so proud. Only Pat’s warmth and subtlety (as The Doctor) is perfectly matched to James’ situation... This is something special. I hope Chibnall watches this... he needs to. Thank you for your hard work.
i know what this feels like as I’ve felt like this before this is truly amazing and beautiful and I’m not ashamed to say I’m crying buckets, i know he won’t see this but thank you Ben for being my 2nd Doctor, this is wonderful Chris well done mate
I really needed these words right now and I'll never forget them, today may not be my day and everything may have went wrong but I made it through, I won. If can keep it going I can reach a good day.
Wow...just wow...a truly beautiful short story! I never thought I'd be able to picture the Second Doctor in such a situation but it worked wonderfully. I will admit I did shed a tear! Well done Chris! I think Patrick Troughton would be proud!
The amount of times I have felt similar to this during this year made this really stick with me. All I can say is thank you Chris for making this it was something I needed to hear
Oh my giddy-aunt, I never would have thought to have put the Doctor in this situation but this is beautiful. Much more personal than your usual christmas videos (all of which have become part of my christmas watch list). Best of luck for 2019. Hopefully this will be the year Big Finish will announce a brand new 2nd Doctor range starring yourself.
Ive loved your work since i found it. And honestly this one did make me cry. It was written just as the second and as always with your skill it sounds like him too. This is a story the second deserved in truth. Something he (and by extension hartnell) never got. We see the maverick trying to change time appear more in 10,11, and 12...but here its definitely fitting. Two could offer the secrets of the universe in a few sympathetic and kind words. edit: this is some time later. i didn't care to check how long...i just wanted to say even to this day, i always return here when im close to falling. I've seen all of who as a young man. I watched from 1 to 13 as a young man in his twenties. I love continuity. No matter how modern, the first and second doctor always push me forward. You have enriched that for me. To me, this and your Christmas story as well as your 1 and 2 episode are canon in my head. The first doctor is still my favorite sure, but your video here made me love this second doctor in a way unimaginable... I've spent much of my time on that treadmill, wondering the same issue as the man of the story who has my same first name. You, doctor who, and hope have kept me alive. so i thank you. I wont let that evil win. Ever, a lesson you and the second doctor taught me.
Beautifully, brilliantly done, Chris. I know how much this came from the heart, and that makes it even more touching. This will hopefully go out to the millions of people across the English-speaking world who have the same depressed feelings (or similar ones) at this time of year, and help them find hope.
I liked the Season 6B thing. And for a fan audio, this is quite good. I can tell that you are expressing your own emotions through this, which makes it feel more interesting
this video has helped me realise a few things about myself thank you surprisingly this has helped me through the tough months ive been going through recently thank you
I can't express how much I needed to find this video right now. This is one I'm going to save and visit regularly. Imagine that, the Doctor reaching out through a YT video to help me, too.
I thought that was really lovely. It sort of struck a chord with me, because I kept feeling like I stopped existing to other people, am I tangible, can I actually affect anyone, or am I just scenery? but you have definitely affected me with this, I hope you’re doing okay Chris, and I hope you have a very good Christmas.
I was almost waiting for a conclusion at the end, or a BBC announcer to give a hotline for those affected 😅 It is a good message, thank you for sharing it, I hope it was not based on personal experiences😔 I feel like your impersonation has changed over the last year, hard to pin down
From James to James: So real. You took the feelings we have and created a masterpiece. Thank you. This is so important!!! You've got the power to help so many people in temporarily difficult circumstances. If I had heard this when I was James it would have saved me. Fortunately other things did but the power of this piece is undeniable. You've created a life saving tool. Hope it goes viral. Thank you :-)
Holy shit, this had me crying, it struck a genuine personal chord. Well done, this was truly brilliant. The slight echo to the voices was a bit off-putting but other than that, this was remarkable
Truly beautiful Chris and I felt like the Doctor was talking to me, because things haven't been easy for a long time for me and this honestly helped me so much. Thank you! Merry Christmas
This story is truly inspiring and wonderful, you're Pat Troughton impression has always and still continues to be so accurate and fantastic to listen to, i look forward to seeing more of you're spectacular Second Doctors Audio Adventures.
Thank you Chris. This is a fantastic second doctor story and has everything a Christmas story should have as well. The subject matter is so beautifully handled. Christmas can be a really difficult time for a lot of people. Good for you for highlighting it. And the best final slide. It's so important that people know they don't have to handle it on their own. That someone else is on the other end of a phone. Thank you. You really are a wonderful human being and I hope 2019 is a stunner for you!! Take care. Mick
Thank you for this. If anyone needs to call in the US, call 988. It will help you get in touch with someone from the suicide prevention hotline. I am going through a really difficult time right now and I really appreciate this video.❤️
FFS will everyone please stop their Chibnall/Whittaker banging. If you don't like it, don't watch it! It's that simple. Let's judge Chris's (Thompson) work on it's own merit. The wonderful, fantastically moving story that it is!
Troughton would be proud.
Yes he would
I'm not crying...I'm not crying...Okay, I am crying.
This is the best story that Patrick Troughton never made. Well done, Chris. Well done.
I’m about 5 years late to this but, this really touched me. Troughton is my favourite interpretation of the Doctor character and, being a very casual fan over the years, found myself adopting certain aspects of his personality and demeanour.

Yet here you've made a classic Doctor like the 2nd able to cope depression. Thank you sir
it was always there. this just enhances the doctor that would do what he could to help people adjust to a crazy life.
I have never listened to anything so sad, yet so beautiful before. I never thought I'd say this about a fan made audio drama but this makes big finish look like children.
I read on twitter how you based this off your real life, and all I can say is, this video in itself shows how much the world needs you. So just, Thank you.
Forgotten Grounds Thank you very much. That means a lot 😊
Pat would be so proud. Only Pat’s warmth and subtlety (as The Doctor) is perfectly matched to James’ situation...
This is something special. I hope Chibnall watches this... he needs to.
Thank you for your hard work.
You'll be surprised how many times I've felt like this.
Thank you Chris for making this video.
This really is beautifully done Chris. Everyone should hear this, Troughton would be proud...
i know what this feels like as I’ve felt like this before this is truly amazing and beautiful and I’m not ashamed to say I’m crying buckets, i know he won’t see this but thank you Ben for being my 2nd Doctor, this is wonderful Chris well done mate
Doctor Who Productions You’re welcome.
Patrick Troughton would be so proud.
This has to be the best fan made doctor who story ever!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
This would have been the most beautiful ending to The Second Doctor. I hope that at least one of the Time Lords who was watching him shed a tear.
This is beautiful. So beautiful. I'm actually choking up right now.
I really needed these words right now and I'll never forget them, today may not be my day and everything may have went wrong but I made it through, I won. If can keep it going I can reach a good day.
Wow...just wow...a truly beautiful short story! I never thought I'd be able to picture the Second Doctor in such a situation but it worked wonderfully. I will admit I did shed a tear!
Well done Chris! I think Patrick Troughton would be proud!
😥Sad, yet hopeful. Hurts, but it heals.
The Doctor made a house call...
hi chris walker thompson does a brilliant impression of patrick troughton he brings the second dr so brilliantly back to life
The amount of times
I have felt similar to this during this year made this really stick with me.
All I can say is thank you Chris for making this it was something I needed to hear
Dang, I listened to this last year, but just listened again and it still hits deep. I'm not crying....you are.
Well done. I feel this is exactly what the Doctor would do in these circumstances.
Oh my giddy-aunt, I never would have thought to have put the Doctor in this situation but this is beautiful. Much more personal than your usual christmas videos (all of which have become part of my christmas watch list). Best of luck for 2019.
Hopefully this will be the year Big Finish will announce a brand new 2nd Doctor range starring yourself.
This was far too beautiful for a free TH-cam video. A heartfelt emotional masterpiece. Bravo sir.
Thank you Chris for your Christmas present. Merry Christmas.
Absolutely incredible! Really well done indeed, very touching.
I’m not a Doctor Who fan as you know Chris but a very powerful piece, well done.

Thank you, Chris. I wish us all a Happy Doctor Who Day and a very safe and healthy Christmas. 🎄
I know others said it but that was beautiful
I liked the Season 6B thing. And for a fan audio, this is quite good. I can tell that you are expressing your own emotions through this, which makes it feel more interesting
That was very mature witing Chris
this video has helped me realise a few things about myself thank you surprisingly this has helped me through the tough months ive been going through recently thank you
What a beautiful little play. Thank you, Chris. I'm glad this process helped you and that you continue to win
I found this extremely moving.
I can't express how much I needed to find this video right now. This is one I'm going to save and visit regularly. Imagine that, the Doctor reaching out through a YT video to help me, too.
Beautiful
2 years on and this still holds up. I needed this more than you can ever know. Thank you
I thought that was really lovely. It sort of struck a chord with me, because I kept feeling like I stopped existing to other people, am I tangible, can I actually affect anyone, or am I just scenery? but you have definitely affected me with this, I hope you’re doing okay Chris, and I hope you have a very good Christmas.
Really well done. Thank you.
I was almost waiting for a conclusion at the end, or a BBC announcer to give a hotline for those affected 😅
It is a good message, thank you for sharing it, I hope it was not based on personal experiences😔
I feel like your impersonation has changed over the last year, hard to pin down
Enjoyed that very much. Terrific work. Thank you.
Just so astonishingly beautiful.
From James to James:
So real. You took the feelings we have and created a masterpiece. Thank you. This is so important!!! You've got the power to help so many people in temporarily difficult circumstances. If I had heard this when I was James it would have saved me. Fortunately other things did but the power of this piece is undeniable. You've created a life saving tool. Hope it goes viral.

This is so beautiful-
Thank you so much for this-
Wow, I just caught this and it was well done, absolutely well done.
Well done Chris...the Doctor brings hope. Merry Christmas to all 😊
Thank you for this. Sincerely.

Holy shit, this had me crying, it struck a genuine personal chord. Well done, this was truly brilliant. The slight echo to the voices was a bit off-putting but other than that, this was remarkable

Beautifully written, Chris!
Wow. A very strong message. Well done
Well shit. Might as well not upload my Christmas Special. Hats off to you sir, a beautiful and touching story.

Spot on. Beautifully done. This the '67 Troughton (with Jamie and Victoria).?
A trillion times better than series 11
