Second Doctor

The Second Doctor is the name given to the second incarnation of the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who. He was portrayed by the actor Patrick Troughton.

Story style

All the original Second Doctor episodes were in black and white. However the later guest appearances in The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors and The Two Doctors were all in colour. Regretably, many of the episodes featuring the Second Doctor were junked by the BBC ? a full list of incomplete Doctor Who serials shows how many of these episodes are missing from the BBC Archives.

Some fans have speculated that certain continuity elements within Doctor Who suggest that the Time Lords used the Second Doctor as an agent after the events of The War Games, and that he did not in fact immediately regenerate and enter his exile on Earth. (See Season 6B for further details).
