Patrick Troughton - the best or, no, the only option is the best.

janeturenne did a post yesterday about how Patrick Troughton is secretly hot. Which is totally true, and I was going to write a comment in support of the trueness of this, when I realized it was getting a little long. And full of pictures. So I decided to throw out all of the weird over-sharing meta about seeing Two as an asexual vs a sexual Doctor and just do a picspam post about the hotness of Patrick Troughton.

Obviously I am making good decisions today.

So, I'm not making the case that Troughton wasn't pretty good-looking as the Doctor, because he kind of totally was.


Exhibit A.

But the character he was playing definitely wasn't meant to be a seductive one.


Exhibit B. Also, I love this shot so much.

Troughton himself though, well.


I believe this is from The Enemy of the World, where Troughton plays the Doctor and also a megalomaniacal scientist with a questionable accent.


I am incredibly unhappy that I can't find larger versions of either of these. Especially the eyepatch pirate one.



Robin hood! Also old-fashioned bicycles!


This is apparently from Space 1999, which I've never seen, so I don't know why he has a sequin glued to his head. But I'm sure there's a good reason.


I have nothing to add.

Wait, no, there's also this:


(Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling, AKA Jamie and Victoria).

Okay, now I'm done. But only because I ran out of photos.

I've been putting off editing the next fic for some reason - I should get on that. Especially since it's been... a month since the last one. Wow, I hadn't realized.

Anyway! I hadn't realized Troughton was in the Inspector Morse series, but now that I've looked it up, I've totally seen that episode. It was a while ago, though, and I don't remember anything about it. Obviously I should track it down and add it to my growing 'Troughton appearances' watch list. It's always weird to see Troughton in color, though, even with those blue eyes.

I thought you wouldn't want to forget his stint in the original "The Omen", which includes his big moment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dw8JtFzAoo). That movie, incidently, was my very first exposure to Patrick Troughton. I still found him oddly compelling.
