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."
Philip Madoc
Madoc appeared in the second "Doctor Who" film, "Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D." (1966) and later in the BBC series itself. He appeared in two Second Doctor serials — "The Krotons" where he played Eelek, a high-ranking member of Gond Society, and "The War Games", where he played the villainous alien War Lord. In the 1970s he appeared in two Fourth Doctor serials — "The Brain of Morbius" and "The Power of Kroll". He recorded DVD commentaries for "The Krotons", "The War Games" and "The Brain of Morbius" and was interviewed about his roles in "Doctor Who" in the short film "Philip Madoc - a Villain for All Seasons", which appeared as an extra on the DVD for "The Power of Kroll". In 2003, he guest-starred in the "Big Finish" "Doctor Who" audio adventure, "Master", and returned to Big Finish in the 2008 Sixth Doctor story "Return of the Krotons". He voiced the War King in the "Faction Paradox" audio series.
