Patrick Troughton, born 25th March 1920 in Middlesex, England, made his television debut in 1947 after serving in the Royal Navy during World War II. His most notable role is, of course, as the Second Doctor in Doctor Who - at the time series producer Innes Lloyd noted he was the "only one man in England" for the role. Away from the TARDIS, he also appeared in Ivanhoe, The Adventures of Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes, as well as countless other film and theatre roles. He passed away on 27th March 1987, two days after his 67th birthday.

In 1966, audiences sat in awe as the Doctor regenerated on screen for the very first time. Regeneration was introduced as a concept to keep the series fresh and exciting and it certainly did that, as a new incarnation of the Time Lord stepped out of those TARDIS doors. Fans were reassured that time and space was in very good hands as their new hero, Patrick Troughton, got down to business, proving to be more mercurial and darker than his predecessor.
