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."
Terry Molloy
On television, Molloy is known for becoming the third actor to play the mad scientist Davros, the creator of the Daleks, in the long-running science fiction series "Doctor Who". He appeared in the stories "Resurrection of the Daleks", "Revelation of the Daleks" and "Remembrance of the Daleks", becoming the first actor to play the role in different stories. Molloy was initially cast in the role by director Matthew Robinson, who had worked with him before and thought his talent for voices would be ideal to recreate the part first played by Michael Wisher. Molloy also appeared in the "Doctor Who" story "Attack of the Cybermen" as an undercover policeman named Russell, again cast by Robinson. In recent years, Molloy has reprised the role of Davros in the Big Finish Productions audio dramas "Davros", "The Juggernauts", "Terror Firma", "Masters of War", "The Davros Mission" and the four-part miniseries "I, Davros". He also played Davros in a 2005 stage production, "The Trial of Davros". Molloy also took over the role of Stan Harvey in the ITV soap opera "Crossroads" from Edward Clayton when Stan made a brief visit to the motel in 1987.
