I doubt even Troughton himself knew his talent. He was really a film actor on TV. He feared the life of stardom though so protected his privacy. He was a very charming mysterious little man. Easy to adore, with a traditional sense of humour and full of energy til his last hour. He plays the Doctor better than most give him credit for.

@@SuperWolsey You're forgetting about the 1993 charity special, Dimensions in Time. Yes, it's godawful but it's also the last time the then-still living Doctors of Classic Who were all together in a project -- from Pertwee to McCoy. Heck, even Tom Baker played along for once (until he was asked back for the 50th Anniversary and to finish "Shada" for home video as well doing the Big Finish audio plays starring the Fourth Doctor). That was the last time many people saw the Third Doctor in an original BBC project, charity film/not counting in continuity or NOT. Dimensions in Time is online but they'll never do a home video release of it because a condition of the actors was that BBC couldn't sell that special on home media. Whether it's because they considered the practice tacky (a charity special should not be sold for profit) or HATED the script, I don't know. From what I understand, they had another project in development that would have blown DiT out of the water but I guess budget and priorities (must tie in Doctor Who into another at-the-time more popular BBC series that has nothing do with science fiction!) killed the other possibly better idea.

Pat had finally learned to enjoy his status as a member of a very small group of very special people. I met him at his first convention and he was still very guarded. The fact that I behaved professionally got him to relax with me and I got a great interview. I watched him open up more and more with every convention he did. I had a part staked out for him in a series I was developing at the time. I really wish we'd gotten to make that show.

It's weird watching this, knowing he would pass away the following morning. Still, it's nice to see the panel in full, hearing his response to questions about his era and some of his movies. And to see what he was like in person.

Yes a few tribute videos were uploaded yesterday. I was at home watching the 'Tomb of the cybermen' and was cross referencing against imdb when I thought I would check on Patrick Troughtons profile page only to realise it was the 100th anniversary of his birthday in 1925.

I saw this in person, but I didn't have time to go back to the hotel for my video camera before it started, thanks to the ULTRA-slow hotel shuttle. So, the only copy of it is that lady's that insisted on getting such a big camera that she couldn't control it. (She specifically told me she got the biggest camera possible, and about half way it's clear her shoulder is getting sore which is why she starts shooting the ceiling at one point.) I can't remember her name anymore but she says her brother's name is Perry Pertwee in the video. If I had brought my camera that afternoon and lugged it all over while I registered and everything, I would have used a tripod. That was one of my biggest regrets, that I didn't tape that panel. But, such is life! I arranged the video room off the convention center property because Roland Castle (the convention organizer who I knew quite well) refused to have one due to his ongoing war with Lionheart. I stood in line to get Pat's autograph and invited him to come to the video room, and he absolutely latched onto "The Dominators" for some reason and was really excited about seeing it again because, as he told me, "I haven't seen that one since we made it!" That's why he keeps talking about it during the Q&A.

What a beautiful human being he really loved playing the doctor and interacting with his fans he also stated he wanted the doctor to be a women or be a different race rest in piece Mr Troughton and thank you for being magnificent :]

I loved Pat. I had the privilege of meeting him and then working with him on a documentary I was producing. I shot the last on camera interview with him just weeks before this. I vividly remember the early morning phone call from friends at the con, telling me he'd passed. They were coordinating with Nick Courtney and the other guests on how to tell the fans in attendance and his family. I was given the go ahead to call some news outlets with the news. There were a few of us who managed to get Pat's untimely death reported in the American media. The reason I was asked to make some calls was because of my long association with the series as well as being a professional journalist. I knew people at various television news departments as well as some newspaper editors who would take my word that the information was true & accurate. Something that seems to be missing in current journalism.

Watching him on the stage he has all the drive and energy as he always did when performing 🎭 and telling stories to people who loved him and his work. So grateful that we have had the chance to see more of his episodes after they were found as he is and always will be my favourite Doctor Who since I first got to see him in the 'Seeds of Death' when it was released on VHS in 1985 omnibus version. I didn't get to see him in the five faces of Doctor Who 1981 repeat of 'The Krotons' as I was only 7 and my mother controlled the TV in the house after my father left home. When I got older I started to watch the VHS releases. We were lucky to get the Troughton stories earlier than others, however due to the low archive holdings of second Doctor episodes we did not get many. Someone has given this upload a down vote to, can you believe that 🙄

I was 6 years old when he passed. I was living in Columbus GA then. I remember my mom saying she wanted to go to see him. But she didn't get to.

I was 10 when he died and was sort of vaguely aware of it happening. If I'd known even many years later that one day we'd be able to see footage of him the day before his death it would have seemed ridiculous...but here we are. The internet has brought the distant past into the ever-present and it's bizarre.

Patrick would have loved seeing Sylvester playing the Doctor :’(

Now some doctor who what-if stuff: William Hartnell lived to see the "Five doctors" 20th anniversary special. Medics pleaded him not to perform as his health was at an all-time low, and doing this could potentially destroy him. He didn't listen and accepted the BBC's offer to come back. Unlike Patrick Troughton (who at this point was going grey), rather than wearing a wig to cover his bold head(he'd been battling leukaemia so chemotherapy), Hartnell decided to stay bold so fans could see what he'd been through for this special. Sure enough, his health took a massive nosedive he was hospitalised just days afterwards. He died in his sleep from a stroke on March 28th 1984 at the age of 76, eerily enough just 2 days before Peter Davidson ended his run. (1908-1984) Patrick Troughton lived long enough to join his fellow doctors on the "Dimensions in time" EastEnders crossover. While at the American convention in 1987, he suffered a heart attack in his hotel room immediately after ordering room service. Just in time for the hotel employee to find him silently screaming on the floor. He had to perform lifesaving and told a passerby to call 911 and that Patrick Troughton was having a heart attack. Paramedics arrived within the hour and wasted no time to resuscitate Troughton, while thousands of whovians waited anxiously outside for any signs of life. There Troughton appeared out the entrance in a wheelchair with a breathing mask and a blanket. And suddenly thousands of voices cheered and applauded in relief. He was flown back to England the following day and reluctantly agreed to retire and focus on recovering. But then 6 years later Troughton made a surprise appearance in the "Dimensions in time" charity crossover with EastEnders. He appears in the beginning making an urgent distress signal to the fourth doctor telling him that the rani have invaded the doctors timeline and he needs help, before getting cut off. Then he appears again at the end to talks to the seventh doctor through transmission. they argue a little then second congratulates and thanks seventh and is about to bring out his flute, but seventh cuts him off before he can play. This special marked his last ever work before his death and his only work after coming out of retirement. He died on February 17th 1994 at the age of 73 after falling down the stairs. By the time his postman found him, he was already dead. The coroner gave the verdict that he had a cardiac arrest and broke his neck and ribs on the way down and also suffered from kidney failure. His death was announced later that day. (1920-1994) Jon Pertwee lets just say he lives to see a lot. "Destiny of the doctors" video game, "Scream of the Shalka" miniseries and to see how the 2005 relaunch reintroduced Doctor Who to modern generations. He appeared voicing the Third doctor alongside his other fellow doctors in the 1997 PC game "Destiny of the doctors". After this he decided to go into semi-retirement keeping close contact with Doctor who and Worzel Gummidge fans and making occasional TV interviews. In 2003 he made a cameo voice appearance in the flash animated "Scream of the Shalka" made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dr who. Also in 2003 he began making voice-over appearances in a number of Big Finish audioplays up until his death. In 2006 his incarnation of Worzel Gummidge made a comeback in the form of "Worzel Gummidge & friends" airing on CBeebies for 3 seasons and 28 episodes. In 2007, when Noel Clarke was taken ill, Jon was asked to appear on the Dr who edition of Weakest Link. He agreed. He made it up to round 4 before getting voted off tactically. That same year he became the only former doctor to date to receive a knighthood for his services to television, becoming Sir John Devon Roland Pertwee. In 2009, to celebrate his 90th birthday, he made a guest appearance on "The One Show", where he talked about how he got the part of Third Doctor and answered some of the fans most biggest questions. His health wouldn't start to decline until mid-2011 when he contracted Hepatitis C. Its believed he accidentally contracted it during a blood test, and a needle which had not been properly cleaned. Fans from across the globe sent their condolences and best wishes to him, to the point that he made a facebook post where he read out his favourites. When Dr Who's 50th anniversary celebration came around, the BBC asked Jon if he wanted to be involved, particularly in the episode "The day of the doctor". He agreed, but his wife explained that whatever involvement he did have would be very limited due to his ill-fading health. To get around this, the BBC and Jon reached an agreement to record his lines in his home. Christopher Eccleston was set to reprise his role as the Ninth doctor but turned it down. In his place Jon would appear as the Third doctor. His scenes were filmed between 2nd and 10th of April. His first scene was reminiscent to that of William Hartnells in "The three doctors", where 11th, 10th and War doctor are trying to land the TARDIS in the tower of London but can't. Then they get a transmission from 3rd doctor who tells them to stop arguing and find a way to cancel the detention. This scene was filmed while he was in a wheelchair, in front of a green-screen of his TARDIS console. Another scene was near the end of the episode when 11th is talking with the curator, where it cuts to 10th and 3rd are having a similar simultaneous conversation revealing the other two to be trapped in a paradox. They even make reference to the upcoming 12th doctor and Steve Moffat. Although it was the voice and face of Jon Pertwee, it was actually his son Sean who provided the body of 3rd doctor with Jons face plastered over via a wig, motion capture and deep-fake technology. "The day of the doctor" would prove to be Jons last ever acting work. On April 24th 2013 while production of the episode was still underway, the BBC received the news that he had passed away that afternoon. It was believed that he was taking a nap and suffered from heart failure and died peacefully in his sleep. He was at the ripe age 93 years old. His death was announced the following day and it was told that The 50th anniversary episode would be his last ever appearance. "Day of the doctor" was dedicated to his memory. (1919-2013)

‘Bye bye, see you tomorrow’. ‘Ok’..

Oh man when he takes out that recorder. Chills. He just carried that around with him? I just found this at random trying to find the name of the con he was at when he died. Thanks for posting this. Any idea who shot it? Was it a relative of yours?

@@JoeSiegler I read it, but it only says that you didn't film it. Doesn't give the chain of custody (so to speak) of the tape, so I wasn't sure if maybe it was gotten from someone you knew or was some kinda garage sale or thrift store find. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

@@professorhaystacks6606 No worries. Yeah, it was just sitting on an old 30 year old VHS tape that had random Doctor Who stuff on it. I have no memory now of where I got it originally. But wasn't me - just got a copy from someone else - another person who I've forgotten who they were.

@@JoeSiegler Thanks for the info. I probably wored that weirdly, but I always worry about coming off aggressive. Anyway, this sort of thing is why people keep hoping there'll be a color copy of Invasion of the Dinosaurs ep 1 or The Mind of Evil episode 3 (or 1? I forget which) showing up on US VHS recordings (and I think there were a few others). Though those have been manually recollored at this point (and I need to get the blu ray for Invasion of the Dinosaurs at some point: I have the DVD with the crude chromadot color).

@@professorhaystacks6606 It's all good. I never correlated my posting of this to the concept of finding things on VHS like missing episodes. Wish I could remember where it came from, but too many decades in the rear view mirror now.

So let me get this straight, according to IMDB he died on March 28, So he died of a massive heart attack, literally hours after this was taped???
