Doctor Who: 10 Ways Patrick Troughton Made The Recorder Cool

3. All The Retro/Cool Cosplayers Love It

Whorecorder Edited 1 Go to any fan convention and we can almost guarantee you'll spot someone among all the new-Whovians paying homage to the Tenth & Eleventh Doctors who goes for the retro look. They may get rarer with each passing year,as the generation who used to watch the Second Doctor's adventures have long been 'grown up' & most likely wouldn't dream of donning the ill-fitting jacket & trousers. But if you find someone who has ,and even gone to the trouble of finding the exact same recorder you must do just one thing. Stop them & get a photo as a nice reminder of 'Who' at its classic series best. Better yet- restart the trend yourself! Watch everything from 'The Power Of The Daleks' to 'The War Games'. Then learn the mannerisms,catchphrases & basic recorder skills. With the Eleventh incarnation's time coming to an end there's never been a better time to revisit the man who's technically his younger brother in so many ways.
