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."
Peter Purves
At twenty-six years old, Purves first became known to television audiences in 1965 as Steven Taylor, one of the early time-travelling companions in the programme "Doctor Who", when the Doctor was played by William Hartnell. He has provided DVD commentaries for many of the surviving "Doctor Who" episodes he appeared in and documents the making of each of his "Doctor Who" stories in his autobiography, "Here's One I Wrote Earlier". He was also a good friend of the actor Jon Pertwee, who played the Third Doctor.
