Doctor Who: Patrick Troughton's 10 Best Bits

4. 'The Enemy Of The World'

Doctor Who The Enemy Of The World Anything Bill Hartnell can do Pat can do too as is abundantly clear here. He plays both the Second Doctor and Ramon Salamander.

The real Doctor pitches up snorting with derision at Salamander's impression of him and the Mexican promptly shuffles off this mortal coil by dematerialising the old Type 40 with the doors still open, which results in a trip into the Time Vortex as well as a nasty death and a fail on his time machine driving test.
