Evil I never quite liked as much, but it would still be wonderful to see it, and not as popular but I'd love to get back The Smugglers too. I don't doubt there's more missing episodes out there, but more than anything I just want a bit of closure: the fact that some are owned by private collectors makes me so angry.

@@fredh1720 I can't help but agree about those collectors, I wish they'd return those episodes. Sadly, most of those collectors are probably more interested in owning something nobody else does, (I'm willing to bet most of them aren't even Doctor Who fans.) Then again, better for an episode to be in a private vault than a shelf were they can deteriorate. At least it exists somewhere...

"Now go away and don't fuss me, no come back, what's this, it's alright I know." Dang, even Matt Smith would be hard pressed to keep up with how quickly Troughton delivered those lines. Jenna Coleman could manage it but she didn't play the Doctor unless Clara was pretending to be him.

​@bostonrailfan2427 Everything you're using to describe the First Doctor is inaccurate past series 1. The First gets frankly the best character development of any of the classic Doctors and is considerably more fun-loving, curious, protective and morally principled after the departure of Susan. So many people misrepresent Hartnell's depiction off the first episode and introduction of the Daleks, but he's downright whimsical in The Roman's and The Celestial Toymaker.

[@BradHollowniczky]

My favorite Doctor. Without his transformation, physically from Hartnell and narratively into the energetic, crusading hero of time and space, Dr. Who would never have lasted long enough to become the juggernaught it is today.

Exactly what I thought too, really underrated Doctor, without the Second Doctor there would be no other after him.

[@custommediacreations]

The Second Doctor was a legend.

[@ponchoman49]

I give Troughton a ton of credit. He is the reason we are still watching this show in 2024. That he was able to take over from the original Doctor in the form of William Hartnell and not only carry on interest in the show but also expand on it with his own blend of quirkiness, humor with the cosmic hobo approach often confusing and fooling his enemies into thinking him the fool until it was too late! Legendary stuff and so watchable even today!

Two was - during that era - most children's first Doctor - the reason for many writers and show directors joining up with the Doctor Who production team of that time Plus, Troughton realized early on that the show would follow him anywhere else he worked - so, he decided to Adam West it pretty much from the minute Pertwee took over xD

He was the one that changed everything about the doctors to follow an absolute legendary character actor was Patrick, in all his career on screen, both big and small. A leading man to a great character actor. As the second doctor, he gave the doctor something, which has never left a bit of mystery and devilment and himself, the child like humorous of us all. Doctor Who 2rd is the turning point of the future of everything that was to come that imp and smile and wink to the years to follow 50/60 years of drama and comedy and those companions who kept coming, it still has the same story but times do change so did the doctor but it is the same person just wearing different faces.
