'''Patrick George Troughton''' ({{IPAc-en|'|t|r|aʊ|t|ən}};<ref>See, for example, Terry Phillips's 1986 interview with Troughton.</ref> 25 March 1920 – 28 March 1987) was an English actor. He became best known for his roles in television, most notably starring as the [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]] of [[The Doctor (Doctor Who)|the Doctor]] in the long-running British [[science-fiction television]] series ''[[Doctor Who]]'' from 1966 to 1969; he reprised the role three times between 1972 and 1985. Classically trained, Troughton's early work included appearances in [[Laurence Olivier]]'s films ''[[Hamlet (1948 film)|Hamlet]]'' (1948) and ''[[Richard III (1955 film)|Richard III]]'' (1955), and he later appeared in films including ''[[Jason and the Argonauts (1963 film)|Jason and the Argonauts]]'' (1963), ''[[The Gorgon]]'' (1964), ''[[Scars of Dracula]]'' (1970) and ''[[The Omen]]'' (1976), as well as the fantasy television series ''[[The Box of Delights (TV series)|The Box of Delights]]'' (1984).

==Early life==
Troughton was born on 25 March 1920<ref name="screenonline.org.uk">[http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/1066617/ Troughton, Patrick (1920–1987)] – BFI obituary by Alistair McGown {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402173102/http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/1066617/ |date=2 April 2015 }}</ref> in [[Mill Hill]], [[Middlesex]], England, to Alec George Troughton (1887–1953), a solicitor, and Dorothy Evelyn Offord (1886–1979), who married in 1914 in [[Edmonton, London|Edmonton]]. Patrick had an elder brother, Alec Robert (1915–1994), and a younger sister, Mary Edith (1923–2005). Troughton attended [[Mill Hill School]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.millhill.org.uk/senior/academic/drama/|title=Drama &#124; Co-educational Senior School in London &#124; Mill Hill School|website=Mill Hill Schools}}</ref> and continued to live in Mill Hill for most of his life. While at Mill Hill School, he acted in a production of [[J. B. Priestley]]'s ''Bees on the Boat Deck'' in March 1937.

Troughton studied at the [[Embassy Theatre (London)|Embassy School of Acting]] at [[Swiss Cottage]],<ref name="screenonline.org.uk"/> being tutored by Eileen Thorndike. He was later awarded an acting scholarship at the Leighton Rallius Studios at the [[John Drew (actor)|John Drew]] Memorial Theatre on [[Long Island]], [[New York (state)|New York]], in the United States.<ref name="screenonline.org.uk"/>

When the [[Second World War]] broke out, he abandoned his studies in the U.S. and returned to Great Britain to enlist. During the passage across the [[North Atlantic Ocean]], the ship carrying him struck a [[sea mine]] off the coast of Britain, from which he escaped in a lifeboat as the vessel foundered. On arrival back in England, whilst waiting to join the Armed Forces, he briefly worked with the [[Tonbridge]] [[Repertory]] Company.<ref name="screenonline.org.uk"/>

In 1940, Troughton enlisted with the [[Royal Navy]], receiving a commission with the [[Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve]] in November 1941.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=35370 |page=6946 |date=5 December 1941}}</ref> He was deployed on East Coast Convoy duty from February to August 1941, and then with [[Coastal Forces]]' [[Motor Gun Boat]]s based at [[Great Yarmouth]] from November 1942 to 1945, operating in the [[North Sea]] and [[English Channel]]. During his service with the MGBs, he was on one occasion involved in an action against [[Kriegsmarine]] [[E-boats]] which resulted in one of the enemy craft being destroyed by ramming, whilst Troughton's boat and another destroyed two more with their gunfire. His decorations included the [[1939–45 Star]], the [[Atlantic Star]], and he was [[mentioned in dispatches]] "for outstanding courage, leadership and skill in many daring attacks on enemy shipping in hostile waters".<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=36537 |page=2496 |date=30 May 1944 |quote="For outstanding courage, leadership and skill in Light Coastal Craft in many daring attacks on enemy shipping in enemy waters"}}</ref><ref name=Berriman>{{cite web |last=Berriman |first=Ian |title=Why Patrick Troughton Peed on Golf Courses... and 32 other facts we learned from a new biography |url=http://www.gamesradar.com/why-patrick-troughton-peed-on-golf-courses/ |website=www.gamesradar.com |date=17 December 2011}}</ref> He used to wear a [[tea cosy]] on his head in cold weather in the North Sea.<ref>''An Hour with Jon Pertwee'', BBC Radio 7, Friday 18 June 2010</ref>

After demobilisation, Troughton returned to the theatre. He worked with the [[Amersham]] Repertory Company, the [[Bristol Old Vic]] Company<ref name="screenonline.org.uk"/> and the Pilgrim Players at the [[Mercury Theatre, Notting Hill Gate]]. He made his television debut in 1947. In 1948, Troughton made his cinema debut with small roles in Olivier's ''[[Hamlet (1948 film)|Hamlet]]'', the [[Joseph L. Mankiewicz]] directed ''[[Escape (1948 film)|Escape]]'' (one of the stars of which was [[First Doctor]] actor [[William Hartnell]]),<ref name="denofgeek.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/doctor-who/30040/doctor-who-the-film-careers-of-patrick-troughton-tom-baker|title=Doctor Who: the film careers of Patrick Troughton & Tom Baker|website=www.denofgeek.com|date=9 April 2014 }}</ref> and a minor role as a pirate in Disney's ''[[Treasure Island (1950 film)|Treasure Island]]'' (1950), appearing only during the attack on the heroes' hut. Television, though, was his favourite medium. In 1953, he became the first actor to play the [[folk hero]] [[Robin Hood]] on television, starring in six half-hour episodes broadcast from 17 March to 21 April on the [[BBC]], and titled simply ''[[Robin Hood (1953 TV series)|Robin Hood]]''.<ref>Vahimagi, p.42</ref> Troughton would also make several appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Robin Hood (TV series)|The Adventures of Robin Hood]]'' starring [[Richard Greene]]. He appeared as the murderer Tyrrell in Olivier's film of ''[[Richard III (1955 film)|Richard III]]'' (1955). He was also Olivier's stand-in on the film and appears in many long shots as Richard.<ref name=Berriman/>

Troughton's other notable film and television roles included Kettle in ''[[Chance of a Lifetime (1950 film)|Chance of a Lifetime]]'' (1950), Sir Andrew Ffoulkes in ''[[The Scarlet Pimpernel (television series)|The Scarlet Pimpernel]]'' (1955), Vickers in the episode entitled "Strange Partners" in ''[[The Invisible Man (1958 TV series)|The Invisible Man]]'' (1958, the series also featured one of his future ''[[Doctor Who]]'' co-stars, [[Deborah Watling]], as Sally), [[Phineus]] in ''[[Jason and the Argonauts (1963 film)|Jason and the Argonauts]]'' (1963),<ref name="screenonline.org.uk"/> ''[[Paul of Tarsus]]'' (BBC 1960, title role), ''[[Dr. Finlay's Casebook]]'' (BBC 1962, semi-regular), and Quilp in ''[[The Old Curiosity Shop]]'' (1962–63).<ref name="radiotimes.com">{{Cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/behind-the-scenes-on-patrick-troughtons-first-doctor-who-episode-shot-fifty-years-ago-today/|title=Behind the scenes on Patrick Troughton's first Doctor Who episode, shot fifty years ago today|website=Radio Times}}</ref> He voiced [[Winston Smith (Nineteen Eighty-Four)|Winston Smith]] in a 1965 [[BBC Home Service]] radio adaptation of ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.

Troughton was offered the part of Johnny Ringo in the ''Doctor Who'' story ''[[The Gunfighters (Doctor Who)|The Gunfighters]]'' but turned it down.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01kqt9x/profiles/rex-tucker |title=BBC Two – An Adventure in Space and Time – Rex Tucker |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=1 January 1970 |access-date=6 April 2014 |archive-date=6 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140406094558/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01kqt9x/profiles/rex-tucker |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===''Doctor Who''===
In 1966, ''Doctor Who'' producer [[Innes Lloyd]] looked for a replacement for [[William Hartnell]] in the series' lead role. The continued survival of the show depended on audiences accepting another actor in the role, despite the bold decision that the replacement would not be a Hartnell lookalike or soundalike. Lloyd later stated that Hartnell had approved of the choice, saying, "There's only one man in England who can take over, and that's Patrick Troughton".<ref>Howe, Stammers and Walker, p. 68</ref> Lloyd chose Troughton because of his extensive and versatile experience as a [[character actor]]. After he was cast, Troughton considered various ways to approach the role, to differentiate his portrayal from Hartnell's amiable-yet-tetchy [[patriarch]]. Troughton's early thoughts about how he might play the Doctor included a "tough sea captain", and a piratical figure in blackface and turban.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://drwhointerviews.wordpress.com/category/patrick-troughton/|title=Patrick Troughton |publisher= Doctor Who Interview Archive}}</ref> ''Doctor Who'' creator [[Sydney Newman]] suggested that the Doctor could be a "cosmic hobo" in the mould of [[Charlie Chaplin]], and this was the interpretation eventually chosen.<ref>Howe, Stammers and Walker, pp. 68–69</ref> Troughton was the first Doctor to have his face appear in the opening titles of the show. In one serial, ''[[The Enemy of the World]]'', Troughton played two parts: as the protagonist (The Doctor) and the antagonist (Salamander).<ref>{{cite web |title=BBC One – Doctor Who |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006q2x0 |publisher=BBC}}</ref>

During his time on the series, Troughton tended to shun publicity and rarely gave interviews. He told one interviewer, "I think acting is magic. If I tell you all about myself it will spoil it".<ref>Howe, Stammers and Walker, p. 72</ref> Years later, he told another interviewer that his greatest concern was that too much publicity would limit his opportunities as a character actor after he left the role.<ref name="KTEH">KTEH interview</ref>

In a rare interview with Ernest Thompson from ''[[Radio Times]]'', Troughton revealed that he "always liked dressing up, and would have been happy as a school teacher as children keep one young".<ref>Haining, p. 54</ref> Troughton was popular with both the production team and his co-stars. Producer Lloyd credited Troughton with a "leading actor's temperament. He was a father figure to the whole company and hence could embrace it and sweep it along with him". Troughton also gained a reputation on set as a practical joker.<ref>Howe, Stammers and Walker, pp. 68, 74</ref>

Many of the early episodes in which Troughton appeared were among [[Doctor Who missing episodes|those discarded by the BBC]]. Troughton found ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s schedule (at the time, 40 to 44 episodes per year) gruelling, and decided to leave the series in 1969, after three years in the role. This decision was also motivated in part by fear of being [[typecast]].<ref name="KTEH"/><ref>Howe, Stammers and Walker, p. 75</ref>

[[File:Patrick Troughton, October 1986.jpg|thumb|right|Troughton at a convention in [[Minneapolis–Saint Paul]] in October 1986]]

Troughton returned to ''Doctor Who'' three times after formally leaving the programme. The first of these occasions was in ''[[The Three Doctors (Doctor Who)|The Three Doctors]]'', the 1972–73 serial opening the programme's 10th series. In 1983, Troughton overcame some reluctance to reprise his role and agreed to appear in the 20th-anniversary special "[[The Five Doctors]]" at the request of series producer [[John Nathan-Turner]]. He also agreed to attend ''Doctor Who'' [[Science fiction convention|conventions]], including the show's 20th anniversary celebrations at [[Longleat]] in 1983. He also appeared around the world with Nathan-Turner. Troughton enjoyed the return to the programme so much that he readily agreed to appear one more time as the [[Second Doctor]], with [[Colin Baker]]'s [[Sixth Doctor]] in ''[[The Two Doctors]]'' (1985). Reportedly, he also advised [[Fifth Doctor]] actor [[Peter Davison]] to limit his time in the role to three series to avoid [[typecasting]] and the younger actor followed this advice.<ref>{{cite web |title=BBC – Doctor Who – A Brief History of a Time Lord. |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/news/briefhistory/davison.shtml |publisher=BBC}}</ref>

In 2013, the BBC commissioned a [[docudrama]] about the early days of ''Doctor Who'', as part of the programme's fiftieth-anniversary celebrations. Troughton appears as a character in the production, called ''[[An Adventure in Space and Time]]'', portrayed by actor [[Reece Shearsmith]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Doctor Who – Reece Shearsmith cast as Patrick Troughton|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-02-18/doctor-who---reece-shearsmith-cast-as-patrick-troughton|work=[[Radio Times]]|first=Patrick|last=Mulkern|date=18 February 2013|access-date=18 February 2013|archive-date=20 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200620020315/https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-02-18/doctor-who-reece-shearsmith-cast-as-patrick-troughton/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

He also portrayed Cole Hawlings in a [[BBC Television]] dramatisation of the [[John Masefield]] children's book ''[[The Box of Delights (TV series)|The Box of Delights]]'' (1984).<ref name="screenonline.org.uk"/> In the same year he also appeared in a ''[[Two Ronnies]]'' Christmas Special<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x4zrr |title=BBC One - the Two Ronnies, Christmas Special 1984}}</ref> playing a judge.

Troughton's health was never completely robust due to heavy drinking and smoking (he had quit smoking in the 1960s, but the damage had already been done). Later in his life he refused to accept his doctor's advice after he had developed a serious heart condition through overwork and stress. He suffered two major heart attacks, one in 1979<ref>{{cite news|title=Home Briefs|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=t-9AAAAAIBAJ&pg=6599,4116805&dq=patrick+troughton&hl=en|access-date=26 March 2013|newspaper=Evening Times|date=29 January 1979}}</ref> and the other in 1984,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/doctor-happened-next/|title=The Doctors Who: What Happened Next? CHARLIE RAY|first=Ali |last=Plumb|website=Empire|date=5 June 2013 }}</ref> both of which prevented him from working for several months afterwards. Following each of these attacks, his doctor's warnings were again ignored, as Troughton committed himself to a heavy TV and film schedule.

Troughton featured in the 1974 11-part radio adaptation of [[Evelyn Waugh]]'s ''[[Sword of Honour]]''. In 1986, he was a regular in the first series of the [[LWT]] sitcom ''[[The Two of Us (1986 TV series)|The Two of Us]]'', and guested in an episode of ''[[Super Gran]]'' in May 1987, which was the last role he filmed. His final television appearance was in the autumn of the same year in ''[[Knights of God]]'', which had been filmed two years earlier. Troughton also appeared in the first episode of [[Central Independent Television]]'s ''[[Inspector Morse (TV series)|Inspector Morse]]'', entitled "The Dead of Jericho",<ref name="denofgeek.com"/> which was originally transmitted on [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] on 6 January 1987.

==Personal life==
Troughton married his first wife, Margaret Dunlop, at the Union Church at Mill Hill on 3 September 1943.

Troughton started living a double life when, just after the birth of his third child in 1955, he chose to leave Dunlop and their three children (then aged eight, five, and a few months) to live with girlfriend Ethel Margaret "Bunny" Nuens, with whom he also went on to have three children.<ref name=YorkPress>{{cite news|last=Lewis|first=Stephen|title=Who are you?|url=http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/archive/2005/03/24/York+Archive/7867529.Who_are_you_/|access-date=26 March 2013|newspaper=York Press|date=24 March 2005}}</ref> Troughton maintained a deception of having stayed with his original family that was so successful that his own mother died unaware of the separation in 1979, 24 years after Troughton had left Dunlop. Because of the disastrous drama Troughton caused during his divorce from Dunlop, his first daughter, Joanna, vowed never to speak to her father again. Their differences remained unresolved at the time of his death in 1987.<ref>{{cite web|last=Horne |first=Marc |url=http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/319747/The-shameful-secret-of-Dr-Two-families |title=The shameful secret of Dr Two families &#124; UK &#124; News &#124; Daily Express |publisher=Express.co.uk |date=13 May 2012 |access-date=6 April 2014}}</ref> While Troughton never married Nuens, in 1976 he did marry Shelagh Holdup and acquired two stepchildren.<ref>Troughton – Holdup 1976 marriage at https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl?start=1976&end=1976&sq=2&eq=2&type=Marriages&vol=14&pgno=1435&db=bmd_1525739307&jsexec=1&mono=0</ref>

Although he had been warned by his doctors before leaving the United Kingdom not to exert himself because of his heart condition, he appeared to be in good spirits and participated vigorously in the day's panels,<ref>{{cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YV_93T3hLk |title=Patrick Troughton 1987 |date=27 March 2013 |publisher=DoctorWhoConventions |access-date=22 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609205121/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HK-iMVApnQ&gl=US&hl=en |archive-date=9 June 2013 |url-status=dead |via=[[YouTube]] |work=}}</ref>{{User-generated inline|date=March 2025|certain=yes}} and was looking forward to a belated birthday celebration which was planned for that evening, as well as screenings of all of his surviving complete ''Doctor Who'' stories, including ''[[The Dominators]]'', which he was particularly eager to see again. Troughton suffered a third and final [[heart attack]] at 7:25&nbsp;am on 28 March, just after ordering breakfast from the hotel. According to the paramedics who attended the scene, he died instantly.<ref>FidoNET Newsletter, Volume 4, # 15, March 1987</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Patrick Troughton, 67, played 'Doctor Who' on British TV Series: Obituaries|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/tampabay/access/49961748.html?dids=49961748:49961748&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+31%252C+1987&author=&pub=St.+Petersburg+Times&desc=Patrick+Troughton%252C+67%252C+played+%2560Doctor+Who%2527+on+British+TV+Series%253A+Obituaries&pqatl=google|newspaper=Tampa Bay Times|date=31 March 1987|access-date=22 July 2015}}{{dead link|date=July 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

Troughton was certified dead at the Medical Center (now Piedmont Columbus Regional) in [[Columbus, Georgia]]. After a local cremation, his ashes were flown back to England. During the passage to England, the ashes were mislaid temporarily. This delayed his funeral by a few weeks. His widow, Shelagh, later scattered them beneath a newly planted tree in [[Bushy Park]], a favourite place of Troughton's near to his family home in [[Teddington]].<ref>Troughton, Michael.
