The Box of Delights (TV series)
Patrick Troughton was a familiar face on BBC TV from playing the Second Doctor in "Doctor Who"; a contemporary "Blue Peter" feature on the drama makes the connection that in the role of Cole Hawlings, the kindly Punch and Judy Man, Troughton was playing another mysterious, scruffy time traveller. Renny Rye noted that Troughton "who was my favourite Doctor Who...had a quality that is unsurpassed, I think, as someone to pull you into a tale."
Jack Watling
His reputation as an effective and reliable television actor took root in the early 1960s. Between 1964–69 he was Don Henderson, the troubled conscience to tough businessman John Wilder (Patrick Wymark) in "The Plane Makers" and its sequel "The Power Game". Watling also appeared as Doc Saxon in the 1970s series "Pathfinders". He played Professor Edward Travers in the BBC science-fiction television series "Doctor Who" in the serials "The Abominable Snowmen" (1967) and "The Web of Fear" (1968), both of which also featuring his daughter Deborah Watling as the Second Doctor's companion Victoria Waterfield. He reprised the role decades later in the independent "Doctor Who" spin-off video "Downtime" (1995).
