Publisher's Summary
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 year', 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. This audiobook is an honest, affectionate and complete account of Patrick Troughton the actor, and Patrick Troughton the man.

Excellent
A fascinating and really informative biography of the Character Actor Patrick Troughton. Written and narrated by his son who does a perfect impression of his father's voice, whenever quoting his words or letters. It is a really interesting insight into his life, his career and acting technique and also an intriguing study of a man of contradictions. Highly recommended and a must for Doctor Who to series fans as well but great for anyone interested in British theatre, and the early years of British Cinema and television.
