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."
Second Doctor
The Second Doctor would return to the series on three occasions: in 1973 for the 10th anniversary serial "The Three Doctors" (which also saw the return of William Hartnell as the First Doctor), in 1983 for the 20th anniversary special, "The Five Doctors", and once more in 1985 in "The Two Doctors".
