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."
Noel Clarke
He has had recurring television roles as Wyman Norris in the revived series of "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" (2002–2004) and as Mickey Smith in the first two series of the revival of the BBC science-fiction series "Doctor Who" (2005–2006). He became the series' first black companion in the episode "School Reunion", and reprised his role as Mickey in the episode "Journey's End" in 2008 and in 2010 in "The End of Time" Part 2, and also starred in the "Doctor Who" audio series "", which was released from September to December 2007. His other television work includes appearances in "Casualty" and "Metrosexuality". He has also acted on the stage, and won the Laurence Olivier Award for "Most Promising Newcomer" in 2003 for his performance in the play "Where Do We Live" at the Royal Court Theatre. Clarke starred in the film "Doghouse", directed by Jake West and produced by Carnaby Films International. The film was shot primarily in Midhurst, a small town in West Sussex, on the grounds of the old King Edward VII Hospital. He also participated in Neil Marshall's film "Centurion", about which Clarke said, "it's about the Roman Legion and I'm one of the soldiers".
