Breakfast Time - Doctor Who 20th Anniversary

Peter Davison and Patrick Troughton (both rocking the sweater vest look) are interviewed on Breakfast Time as part of Doctor Who's 20th Anniversary. From the Five Doctors DVD.

[@HitsugiHime]

Patrick Troughton was famous for getting along with everyone. He befriended pretty much every other Doctor. Everyone loved him, he was so famous for his charismatic personality, so people just loved him instantly.

[@NOWtheband]

@Keith Callan - I care. Massively!!!!!!

[@applemask]

Bit awkward when that leads to bigamy though

[@seancampbell7884]

Partick is the Doctors Doctor. Every classic Doctor including Tom Baker talks about how brilliant he was and even Hartnell said he was the only person who could replace him.

[@SammEater]

Makes sense, after all the show would be dead if his Doctor didnt work.

[@SteinerneReiter]

My gosh, put Patrick and Peter on a couch together and they revert back to being children. Must have been too fun for them!

[@UnchainedEruption]

Rachel Tanner Well Patrick was Peter's favorite and childhood Doctor, so it must have been a bit surreal

[@jimspeer3638]

OMG Patrick Troughton is an absolute delight!

[@azrafrahman5986]

The fact that Peter Davison admitted he probably cant be like Tom Baker and decides to take parts from his other predecessors and make a new character is such a positive mindset. Its weird to see him so young now after watching so many interviews and panels with him now

[@Number6_]

Tom Baker was perfect for the part, no one will play it that well. He only left because he couldn't stand his co stars. Especially adric. He found himself surounded by teenages who he hated to work with.

[@MadHax-wt5tl]

I was born after Troughton left the show, and it has been so much fun delving back in time and discovering his shows. Especially with his Doctor Jamie and Xoe. But I have also managed to discover many of his other film works, and no matter the film, even the bad ones, he is absolutely brilliant in all of them.

[@MantisSage]

My goodness, they are just so cute, giggling the whole time! Are they friends? They sure act like it. And I just caught what Troughton was saying half-way through "doesn't she look different sideways" XD And Peter is absolutely adorable.

[@andrewdavidson665]

I don't know why youtube decided to show me this now - 14 years later - but I'm very glad it did. That was an absolutely lovely wee snippet.

[@CyberController-]

Patrick Troughton was *the* Doctor, the definitive and best.

[@jerobriggs6861]

It's strange that when I see these old interviews, I say to myself "Peter's way too young for the part", but when I see him actually playing the role in old episodes, I think he was deffinatently the right man for the role because when I watch the episodes I say to myself that's the Doctor alright". I do the same thing with Matt Smith.

[@UnchainedEruption]

Jero Briggs Yeah certain actors like them are so natural that they just are the Doctor. There's no other way to put it.

[@Billhope1974]

I think Peter stole Sylvester's vest

[@Wyzard01]

I was thinking along the lines of how interesting it is that he is dressing similar to a future regeneration.

[@davidthedeaf]

Or vice the versa..

[@sirpsychosussy]

2:37 (Peter Davison) the moment when the lenny face was coined

[@GarryH1963]

Patrick Troughton. Fantastic actor, a very nice man and great Doctor Who. One of the greatest mysteries of the last 29 years is that Patrick's resting location has never been revealed. Robbing us of floral tributes. About time there was petition for a statue in his birthplace of Mill Hill, North London

[@colinp2238]

He was cremated in America and his ashes were spread, by his widow, at Bushy Park, Teddington, London UK.

[@davidthedeaf]

Hahahahahah! Gary, you should have ASKED and not lamented!

[@veronicawhatley5044]

best Doctor Who -Mr Troughton

[@IThinkYouLookLarvely]

From the '80s I was expecting to see interference from an old tape, or that fuzz usually found at the bottom of the screen, but this looks like the original broadcast tape. V good quality for the era

[@rassilontdavros3004]

IThinkYouLookLarvely I think PAL home recordings generally seem to be better than NTSC ones.

[@miccal99]

Great clip! Also, I want Peter's sweater!

[@Bozpot]

Peter Davison is so pretty.

[@osiancoleman8447]

Here we r still 35 years later it’s on the telly.

[@stanleypines1026]

People comparing Patrick to Matt Smith. Patrick was far superior in many ways.

[@stanleypines1026]

DuckyTheGamer Yes. Let's.

[@first-officerspock6191]

+DuckyTheGamer it's blindingly obvious that Patrick Troughton is superior to Matt smith

[@stanleypines1026]

Fred Bobs Amen, brother.

[@DarthRushy]

It's impossible to just compare them. They're two completely different actors from different times, with oppurtunities that the other could only dream about.

[@BoctorPink]

Absolutely not

[@pageriskin8743]

Love Dr Who. Peter Davidson (IMHO) was an awesome Dr due to the huge energy he brought to the role. He and his son-in-law, David Tennant, are my favorites with Sylvester McCoy in second place. I started watch the series way back when during John Pertwee’s reign as The Doctor.

[@stofferrussell]

I wonder if it ever crossed Peter's mind that his daughter would marry a future Doctor! (David Tennant)

[@Ginea25]

The Doctor's daughter married the Doctor and had his daughter. Not sure anyone could have imagined it.

[@maiju5889]

Ginea25 and the Doctor's daughter's father is the Doctor's daughter's children's grandfather and father.... I don't even know enymore

[@NOWtheband]

I'm sure it must have.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I met Peter Davison 10 years ago.

You did ? What was he like ?

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Breakfast time on BBC one is amazing

[@Ginea25]

Peter Davison and the man who told him to quit after three years. :( Still, gotta love them. Troughton's adorable and, my God, but Davison's sexy...

[@AsianDoctorWhoNerd]

Ginea25 Patrick Troughton does not tell him to quit after three years. Patrick Troughton just says explains that he (himself) thought it was right to leave after three years.

[@AsianDoctorWhoNerd]

Ginea25 Patrick Troughton does not tell him to quit after three years. Patrick Troughton just says explains that he (himself) thought it was right to leave after three years.

[@DarthRushy]

According to Davison, Troughton privately also suggested that he quit after three years.

[@Ginea25]

Yeah, I remember watching an interview with Davison where he says that. I think he said they were in the BBC parking lot when Troughton told him that.

[@thehoneybadger1223]

He suggested it to Jon Pertwee as well

[@thenationaltimelyactionhou9328]

The female co-host is gorgeous!

[@cateclism316]

She's a dolly (as the British say!)

[@davidthedeaf]

Ah his biggest mistake was NOT adding in something from Tom Baker. Just pulling out of his pocket an old bag of jelly babies, and then eating one, seeing someone staring at him and asking “oh…sorry, don’t mean to be rude, would you like a Jelly Baby?” That would have just made everyone accept him and love him so much more.

[@markposthuma2000]

The Jelly babies were originally from Troughtons Doctor

[@johannahyde-parker8422]

@@markposthuma2000 lets not forget that the eight doctor offered a jelly baby to a police officer in the tv movie

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Patrick Troughton only suggested to Peter Davison to do 3 years in the role because during Troughton's time in the part? The work load was massive, and the BBC overworked their cast and crew with unimaginable amounts of workload on the serials for so little money. Davison should've always done one more year as the fifth Doctor looking back. As his time in the part had so few good episodes apart from; Castrovalva, Time Flight, Arc Of Infinity, The Five Doctors, Resurrection Of The Daleks and of course; The Caves Of Androzani!

[@eclecticdog2k901]

I feel bad for whoever’s in the Dalek. They’re so close to the interview but completely invisible to the Doctors!

[@TheWomblemaster]

shes was eyeing him up there....

[@katie2940]

Tbh, I'm sorta glad Troughton left, because if he didn't, we wouldn't have got that fantastic regeneration sequence at the end of the War Games.

[@jovetj]

YOU CAN'T JUST CHANGE WHAT I LOOK LIKE WITHOUT CONSULTING ME! UGH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?! STOP! YOU'RE MAKING ME DIZZY!

[@malisafosteroffical]

And without Patrick Troughton's forced regeneration we would never had the pleasure of having Jon Pertwee as the 3rd Doctor. And, I might add Tom Baker and Peter Davison as well.

[@robalexander8065]

You're making me giddy.

Uploader, please put the year on when this was broadcast.

[@Jo_Wardy]

David and Patrick were great Doctor's. Peter is my second favorite doctor after Tom Baker then Patrick and Sylvester

[@OlegKostoglatov]

I think it's unfortunate that Peter Davison was never really allowed to be himself when he played the doctor, partly due to the awful scripts. If he were allowed to play the doctor more like the way he played Tristan Farnan, with better stories and more character development, like the Patrick Troughton or Jon Pertwee era, it would have been much better.

[@DiRtYLaWs2007]

Russell Grant looks so relaxed, lol.

[@kamwrites]

He had a great career in television after Doctor Who, and unfortunately died a few years after this interview.

[@pvtrichter88]

the profile at 1; 36 is simply lovely such a beautiful women now getting back to the Doctor's themselves well they both got typecast t believe PETER davison being closer to the character i remember when i lived in the UK has had an easier time of it working on LAW AND OrdER UK i don't know what's happened to PATRICK but that's life in the THE WORLD OF THE telly!

[@umaralansari]

Wow, wasn't Selina Scott glamorous; I think she made Peter Davison blush at the end of this clip... (Nowadays we are offered frigid Fiona Bruce & co.) No' a lot' a people know dis but... Patrick Troughton was in Laurence Olivier's 1948 Hamlet filum with Peter Cushing (who played the big-screen DW). Note in passing that Tom Baker was in Olivier's theatre company & appeared in a filum with him... Just some trivia for you... Do with it what you will... ;P

Peter Davison and Selina Scott have the same hair.

[@mistofoles]

Stop slouching, Grant !

[@kamwrites]

Why is everyone comparing Davison to Matt Smith? To me he's more Tennant. But then I'm going on pretty scant information. Smith actually seems more like Troughton to me, but a bit overdone.

[@kamwrites]

@littlesmew That's what you call a tank top? I think sweater vest sounds more distinguished. Tank top is the thing you wear when working underneath cars or working out. I've always known these items as sweater vests.

[@Lytton333]

The proper title for them is 'Fairisle slipover'.

[@kittykatBflat]

teehee sweater vest parteh!

[@michaelsegal7443]

The 5 doctors was way better the the 50th mainly cause it did feature in one way or another all 5 doctors and had most of the companions. It was a trip down memory lane. Day of the Doctor wasn't a trip down memory lane.

[@ZoomerUnion]

I think it's fair to say Day of the Doctor had a more compelling plot and the production values were leaps and bounds better. But you could argue Five Doctors was a more comprehensive celebration of the show's legacy up to that point.

I thought that too, and did you notice Selina Scott saying there were six Doctors?

[@davebolter9111]

Well there were at that time.., there was Peter Cushing in the 60s movies.

[@teamberserkion8436]

this is why davison left early imo. he would've been stayed longer if Troughton didn't say he could be typecasted

[@chucklemeister1529]

Shame they didn't use what Peter was wearing as his outfit, it looks much better on him than the official outfit.

[@Number6_]

I saw him as tistan farnham as I watched a lot of all creatures, but he was a marvelous doctor. In the who series if not the all creatures. Pity they can't cast that well these days.

[@ExBruinsFan]

I didn't really like peter as The Doctor at first. I had hard time not seeing Tristan. I did come to appreciate him eventually, though.

[@mistofoles]

Hmm....I'm guessing this is around 1982?

[@brianoneill7186]

1983, for 'The Five Doctors', and 20th anniversary exhibit at Longleat.

[@MysMultilanguagesFav]

Nah, probably just with the Whovians. He played a lot of characters before and after Doctor Who and had no problems with it. He's probably MOST famous as the Doctor but I wouldn't say he got stuck with the role.

[@calderarecords]

"Whats the Essence of Dr Who?" - A Typical "I don't know what to ask" question from a female only on there due to her similarities with Princess Diana who was popular at the time. Pat Troughton was the most prestigious actor to play the part, & still is to date. Shame about Peter Capaldi but when you don't have people like Verity Lambert & Barry Letts who just let the actors create their own Doctor Characters, & instead have Steven Mofftwat - the ultimate control freak - dictating everything to everyone.. you'll just have frustrated performances on screen. Ever since David Tennant left, Moffat has been forcing everyone to act like him. Over acting, emotional, frenetic dialogue, boasting previous defeats, & overall insincere.

[@instalation9]

Right, first you silly presenter woman: 1. There were 5 Doctors at the time, not 6. 2. He's called the Doctor, not Doctor Who!

[@rassilontdavros3004]

installation9 1. Technically, she could be talking about Peter Cushing, who played the role in two movie adaptations in the 60s. It's also possible this was filmed after Davison announced he was quitting the show. 2. Nobody really cared in the 1980s. Especially since this was the era when the Doctor literally wore question marks on his clothes.
