Breakfast Time (BBC1) - Doctor Who stars Patrick Troughton & Peter Davison, plus K9 and Daleks!

Another Doctor Who treasure! This time it's an extended compilation from 1983 as Patrick Troughton and Peter Davison meet Frank Bough and Selina Scott on Breakfast Time to discuss the 20th anniversary celebrations at Longleat. They're introduced to K-9 (voiced by John Leeson), and Russell Grant gets attacked by Daleks! Please enjoy.

I love the physical comedy from Troughton when K9 and the Dalek enter. Such a treasure. Davison is as charming as ever. Both actors brought something unique and memorable to the role.

What a little gem! So great to see Patrick Troughton especially.

[@buzzybeepopman2009]

Patrick troughton is my favourite classic who doctor such a shame he’s not with us anymore rip

[@planahath]

Looks like he passed away not long after this appearance on Breakfast time.

[@Quietstormusic]

He passed away in 1987!!!

[@ruthryther4483]

Patrick is such a big kid. Almost like Peter is the older brother.

[@thespidercrafter8547]

This is when K-9 meet his master second incarnation and fifth incarnation

I wish I had met Patrick Troughton and had been alive to see his dr in the 1960s I was born in 1969 and I grew up more with Tom Baker as Dr Who. Patrick Troughton is the Dr who will always most associated with the dreaded Cybermen and they were also the favourite enemies of Peter Davison who was very keen in billions of ways to have a Cybermen stroy in his era of Dr Who and also I wish Peter and Patrick could have both gueststarred in Blake,s Seven another awesome science fiction series which did not run longer than 1981 and also B7 has never to this day been rebooted

[@radic888]

It’s funny how back then they called the Doctor, ‘Doctor Who’.

[@Edboimck]

bbc journalists still refer to the character as dr.who as did the original credits so it's kind of correct

[@michaelwhiles5282]

The Three Doctors - classic stuff 😎

[@dogblessamerica]

I had never seen any of the second doctor's adventures until a couple of weeks ago, and for some reason Troughton's doctor had never appealed to me. But now he's possibly my favourite of all.

[@alexfletcher5192]

It is interesting to hear Peter talk about acceptance, because I can remember individual episodes of Tom Baker dating back to 1977, but I count Peter as MY Doctor on the grounds of that subtle change in personality that always happens in regeneration. Patrick I now count as probably my favourite, on the grounds that he is absolutely trustworthy in the part and made even his successor insecure.

[@Jmcinally94]

I'm sure the BBC are quite grateful that Patrick decided not to black up and wear a turban in the end 😂

[@asherzerbib3461]

Though he did go brown as Salamander in Enemy of the World. He plays both him and the Doctor so distinctly it’s like a criminal mastermind.😏

[@asherzerbib3461]

Peter was such a cutie back then. Five will always be my favorite along with The Visitation and Caves of Androzani. Such a grim yet gripping tale.

[@fraserkatie]

I was always scared of the Daleks when I watched Doctor Who with my Dad as a child!

[@stepheng8779]

David Icke is really Davros, you heard it here first 😂

[@TheSirSpence]

"My idea was to black up and wear a turban" 😂🤣

[@busterfriendly7115]

Great find! What a shame you've haven't upscaled it to HD first to bypass the awful youtube re-encoding!

[@whatsonthetapes]

Tell me about it

[@fraserkatie]

Patrick Troughton looks nervous in doing this interview!

[@whatsonthetapes]

I don't think this sort of thing was necessarily his comfort zone - he was quite a private man. He looked like he was having fun though!

[@fraserkatie]

@@whatsonthetapes Yes Ive seen an interview when he was on Box of Delights and being interviewed on Blue Peter he seemed the same then Pete. I never knew Patrick was a private man. Interesting to know that.

[@mattspires6326]

@@fraserkatie so private he had a secret family that he lived with for the best part of thirty years and no-one else knew about!

[@johntomlinson6849]

Why can I never get over the feeling that Davison is as embarrassed as hell?

[@rnw2739]

Because he usually is and mostly regrets playing it, but funnily enough, he doesn't mind raking in all the money from conventions, DVDs, Blurays etc...

[@londonlady1966]

I always felt that he felt the role was beneath him but took it on as it was so famous.

[@ilikecheese775]

Was this on St David's day (March 1st)? That would explain the daffodils.

[@harryandhisbox4371]

That's the date on this clip in my collection, yes.
