Facts
When he was announced as William Hartnell's successor in the role of the Doctor, Hartnell said: "He's the only man in Britain who could do it!". When the Second World War broke out, Patrick was on a Belgian ship sailing from the US, but when just in sight of the British coast, it hit a mine and sank. He was fortunate enough to escape in a lifeboat. Patrick is the father of acting brothers Michael and David Troughton - Michael appeared in Last Christmas (2014), while David has appeared in Doctor Who four times (1966, 1969, 1972 and 2008). Patrick is grandfather to actor Harry Melling, better known as Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter films, and actor Sam Troughton, whose most high profile role was as Much in Robin Hood (2006-07). Another grandchild, Jim Troughton, was a Warwickshire and England cricketer. Patrick died in the United States, while attending a Doctor Who convention (as did his successor, Jon Pertwee). Of the first seven actors to play the Doctor (1963-89), Patrick was the shortest-lived. He is one of only two actors (with Nicholas Courtney) to play the same character in Doctor Who in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
