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."
Totally Doctor Who
The second series of "Totally Doctor Who" ran concurrently with the 2007 series of "Doctor Who". It aired every Friday after the broadcast of that weeks' "Doctor Who," at 5:00 p.m. on BBC One. Again, no "Totally Doctor Who" episode was run in conjunction with the 2007 Christmas special. In this series Kirsten O'Brien replaced Liz Barker, who left television presenting to become a full-time mother.
