Daily Patrick Troughton

It does look a bit AI-y, yeah!

Patrick Troughton and Christopher Lee in Scars of Dracula

It's going to be another hot one, so be more Pat and remember to dress accordingly. Here he is as Klove, along with Christopher Lee as you-know-who, in 'Scars Of Dracula' (Hammer, 1970)

#Paturday

We know it's hard to believe given the transformative power of that wig and moustache, but it really is Pat as Bennet (not Peter Wyngarde himself!) alongside Simon Oates as Broggi, in 'That Isn’t Me It’s Somebody Else' (Jason King, S01E26 ATV 1972)

Patrick as the prosaically named "Police Inspector" in 'The Romantic Matron' (The Saint, S02E18 1964)

Patrick as Councillor Doone in 'Lorna Doone' (BBC, 1976).

Always the professional, Patrick was alleged to have grown the fake hair and beard for the role, relatively small as it was.

#PatrickTroughton

Patrick as Father Brennan, opposite Gregory Peck as Robert Thorn, in The Omen (Richard Donner, 1976). One of the finest horror films of the 1970s, and Brennan's final scene is one of the most memorable.

Patrick as the knight Sir James Tyrrell, starring opposite Laurence Olivier, in 'Richard III' (Laurence Olivier, 1955)

My eldest came home once and told me how a boy in her class had watched IT. She said he'd told her that if you said "Pennywise" three times in front of a mirror, he appeared and killed you with his hook.

Time for a little drinkie? It is #Paturday after all.

#PatrickTroughton

Patrick as Roger McBride, alongside Billie Whitelaw as his wife Doreen, in 'He Rises on Sunday and We on Monday' (Espionage, S01E05 ITV 1963).

They would both go on to star in The Omen (Richard Donner, 1976) alongside Gregory Peck, but the pair do not share screen time together.
