The Three Doctors is a classic Doctor Who story, bringing together the first three actors to portray the infamous Time Lord in one serial. It was originally broadcast in 1972 and 1973 as the opener of Season Ten, and is the last time William Hartnell ever played the Doctor. Now, this four-part...(size: 9.6Kb)

John Devon Roland Pertwee (7 July 1919 – 20 May 1996), was an English actor. Pertwee is best known for his role in the BBC science fiction television series ''Doctor Who'', in which he played the third incarnation of the Doctor from 1970 to 1974, and as the title character in the series ''Worzel Gummidge''. He is also well-known for his 18-year stint on BBC Radio as Chief Petty Officer Pertwee in ''The Navy Lark''.
Biography
Early life
Born in Chelsea, London, to a family descended from Huguenots (the name was an Anglicisation of "Perthuis"; his full surname being "de Perthuis de Laillevault"), he was the son of noted screenwriter and actor Roland Pertwee and distant cousin of actor Bill Pertwee, who played Chief Warden Hodges in the comedy ''Dad's Army'' (coincidentally, Jon Pertwee was the writers' first choice for the role of Captain George Mainwaring in ''Dad's Army''). The actor Henry Ainley, a close friend of his father, was his godfather and Ainley's son Anthony appeared alongside Pertwee in the 1983 Doctor Who anniversary story ''The Five Doctors''.
Education
Pertwee was educated at Frensham Heights School, an independent school in Rowledge, near Farnham in Surrey, at Sherborne School in Sherborne in north-west Dorset, and at some other schools from which he was expelled. After school, he went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), from which he was also expelled after he refused to play a Greek "wind" during one of the lessons, feeling it was a waste of both his time and his father's hard earned money. He was also accused of writing graffiti about the tutors on the toilet walls
Early career
Pertwee was an officer in the Royal Navy, spending some time working in naval intelligence during the Second World War. He was a crew member of HMS ''Hood'' and was transferred off the ship shortly before she was sunk, losing all but three men. It was during his time in the Navy that Jon woke up one morning after a drunken night out while in port to find a tattoo on his right arm, which was occasionally seen during his time in Doctor Who.After the war he made a name for himself as a comedy actor, notably on radio in ''Waterlogged Spa'', alongside Eric Barker, and ''Puffney Post Office'' in which he played a hapless old postman with the catch-phrase "It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you tears them up". From 1959 to 1977, he had a long-running role as the conniving Chief Petty Officer Pertwee in ''The Navy Lark'' on BBC Radio. He was known as a Danny Kaye look-alike, and his impersonation of Kaye can be seen in the 1949 film ''Murder at the Windmill''.
On stage, he played the part of Lycus in the 1963 London production of ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'' with Frankie Howerd and appeared in the smaller role of Crassus in the 1966 film version. He appeared as Sidney Tait in the 1963 comedy ''Ladies Who Do'' and later in four Carry On films: ''Carry On Cleo'' (1964, as the soothsayer), ''Carry On Screaming'' (1966, as Dr. Fettle), ''Carry On Cowboy'' (1965, as Sheriff Earp) and ''Carry On Columbus'' (1992, as Duke of Costa Brava). On television, he started off with small parts in children's shows like Mr Pastry. Later he made an appearance in ''The Avengers'' episode "From Venus with Love" as Brigadier Whitehead, and in the 1970s, he guest-starred as a vicar in ''The Goodies''' episode "''Wacky Wales''".
He had one of his most memorable film roles in the 1971 Amicus horror compendium ''The House That Dripped Blood''. Filmed in the summer of 1970, between his first and second ''Doctor Who'' seasons, Pertwee played the lead in the last segment of the film as Paul Henderson, a deliciously arrogant horror film star who meets his quasi-comedic doom thanks to a genuine vampire cloak.
He was married twice, first in 1955 to Jean Marsh (1955–1960), whom he divorced, and then, on 13 August 1960, to Ingeborg Rhoesa, by whom he had two children, Sean and Dariel.
''Doctor Who'' (1970–1974)
In 1969, Pertwee was selected by producer Peter Bryant to take over as the Doctor from Patrick Troughton in the television series ''Doctor Who''. Pertwee had asked his agent to apply for the role for him and was surprised to find was already on the shortlist for the role. In fact, he had been the second choice of the producer; Ron Moody being the first but who was unavailable. Prior to becoming The Doctor, Pertwee had relatively little interest in the programme. In a departure from the Doctor's first two incarnations, Pertwee played the character as an active crusader with a penchant for action and fancy clothes, even while the character was exiled on Earth and serving with UNIT. He played the Doctor for five seasons from 1970 to 1974, at the time the longest stint of any of the actors who played the part, surpassing predecessors William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton's three years each in the role, although due to shortened broadcast seasons, he appeared in fewer episodes than Hartnell. Of the eleven actors to portray the role, only two would play the Doctor for longer chronological time: David Tennant (four years and six and a half months from June 2005 to January 2010, thus longer by a matter of months) and his immediate successor, Tom Baker(seven years from 1974–1981). In terms of screen time and in terms of being contracted to the role, only the latter has played the Doctor for longer. In early 1974, Pertwee announced he would step down as the Doctor in order to resume his stage career in ''The Bedwinner'', also citing typecasting in the role as the reason for leaving, though later he would say that the catalyst for his departure was the death of his good friend and co-star Roger Delgado and the departures of co-star Katy Manning and producer Barry Letts. His last fulltime appearance in the series was in the story "Planet of the Spiders"' in June 1974. Pertwee later reprised the role in the 20th anniversary story The Five Doctors, in two radio adventures and on stage in ''The Ultimate Adventure''. On 14 April 1971, Pertwee was the subject of Thames Television's ''This Is Your Life'' which featured the first television appearance of his son Sean Pertwee, who went on to become an actor.
''Worzel Gummidge''
After a stint between 1974 and 1978 as the host of the Thames Television murder-mystery game show ''Whodunnit!'', Pertwee took the starring role in ''Worzel Gummidge'', based on the books written by Barbara Euphan Todd. First aired in 1979 on ITV, the series saw Pertwee as a scarecrow, as well as utilising several comedic voices. The show was an immediate hit and ran on the channel until 1981. Keen to continue beyond this, Pertwee campaigned for the series and it was picked up by a New Zealand network in 1987. ''Worzel Gummidge Down Under'' aired for the next two years and was screened in the UK on Channel 4. In 1995, Pertwee played the role one last time in a one-off special for ITV, which celebrated 40 years of the Channel. Pertwee also played the character on stage and recorded an album, ''Worzel Gummidge Sings'', as well as a Christmas single.
Other roles
Pertwee also voiced the character of "Spotty" in the 1980s cartoon series ''SuperTed'' and in 1985 he starred in ''Do You Know The Milkyway?,'' a television adaptation of Karl Wittlinger's stage play in which he played Dr. Neuross and another nine characters. In 1995 Pertwee also had the key voice of Death and other voice characterizations in the PC and PlayStation renditions of "Discworld". Also in 1995, Jon Pertwee played General Von Kramer in the ''Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'' episode "Attack of the Hawkmen". Pertwee voiced and appeared in the television advertisement which promoted the Green Cross Code by use of the mnemonic "SPLINK".
Later life
He returned to the role of the Doctor in the 1983 20th anniversary television special ''The Five Doctors'' and in the 1993 charity special ''Dimensions in Time'' for Children in Need. He also portrayed the Doctor in the stage play ''Doctor Who – The Ultimate Adventure'' which toured theatres in the United Kingdom from March to June 1989. During the 1990s, he made a guest appearance in the "Lords and Ladies" episode of the BBC Radio 4 comedy series ''Harry Hill's Fruit Corner'', playing a Time Lord and also spoofed the role in the Radio 4 comedy ''The Skivers''.In 1993, Pertwee was featured in the unofficial 30th anniversary VHS release of ''Doctor Who'' entitled '30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond'. When asked in an interview for this documentary if the show should be brought back he simply replied with 'No...no'. Pertwee would continue to act in films and television as well as make appearances worldwide in support of ''Doctor Who''. Ultimately, Pertwee was successful in seeing the Third Doctor return to the airwaves with two audio productions for BBC Radio, ''The Paradise of Death'' and ''The Ghosts of N-Space''.
In late 1995, he appeared in ''Devious'', an amateur video drama set between the second Doctor's trial at the end of ''The War Games'' and before the start of ''Spearhead From Space'', which shows an interim (between second and third) Doctor played by Tony Garner being told he was "never meant to be the Doctor" and that the third, played by Jon, will complete him. This video was created by Doctor Who enthusiasts, is around 8 minutes long and has never been on sale or publicly shown, but Pertwee's scenes are included on the BBC DVD ''The War Games''.
Pertwee's final film role was in a short film, "Cloud Cuckoo" for Scottish Screen, released 18 June 1994. His last formal television appearance was on ''Cilla's Surprise Surprise'', broadcast on 21 April 1996. At the date of his death, Pertwee was regularly being seen at the tail end of an enigmatic UK TV commercial for mobile phone operator Vodafone: dressed somewhat in his flamboyant 'Doctor' manner, his character walked wordlessly across an alleyway in sight of a Liverpool landmark, and entered a garage evidently containing some kind of 'time machine'.
Death and legacy
Pertwee continued on the convention circuit and with his voice and television acting until his death from a heart attack in Connecticut on 20 May 1996 two months before his 77th birthday. (Some reports, however, place the location of his death in New York.) He was cremated at Putney Vale Crematorium with a toy Worzel Gummidge affixed to the coffin, following the instructions in his will.He died only days after the American broadcast of the ''Doctor Who'' television movie which used in its opening credits a logo based on the one from his era of the television series. The BBC broadcast of the television movie featured a dedication to Pertwee at its end.
His last association with the series was posthumous. With the approval of his widow, Ingeborg, his voice was utilised as part of the plot of the Big Finish Productions 40th Anniversary ''Doctor Who'' audio drama, ''Zagreus'', appearing as messages from the Doctor's TARDIS as it attempted to help the currently corrupted Eighth Doctor (voiced by Paul McGann). Pertwee's voice was culled from a fan-produced ''Doctor Who'' film ''Devious'', portions of which were recorded just prior to his death.
Pertwee wrote two autobiographies: ''Moon Boots and Dinner Suits'' (published in 1984), which primarily covers his life and career prior to ''Doctor Who'', and the posthumously published ''Doctor Who: I Am the Doctor – Jon Pertwee’s Final Memoir'' (published in 1996 by Virgin Publishing Ltd and co-written with David J. Howe), which covered his life during and after the series. In 2000, ''Jon Pertwee: The Biography'' by Bernard Bale (ISBN 0-233-99831-4) was published by André Deutsch, and included a few chapters by Pertwee's widow Ingeborg.
In 2010 his son Sean Pertwee referred to his father in a party political broadcast for the Labour Party, saying his father had always said not to give up and show resolve.
Discography
Other chart action came in 1993 when an audio release of the radio play ''The Paradise of Death'' reached No.48 in the album charts.

Sylvester McCoy (born Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith; 20 August 1943) is a Scottish actor. As a comic act and busker he appeared regularly on stage and on BBC Children's television in the 1970s and 80s, but is best known for playing the seventh incarnation of the Doctor in the long-running science fiction television series ''Doctor Who'' from 1987 to 1989 – the final Doctor of the original programme – and a brief return in a television film in 1996.
Biography
Early life
Born as Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith in Dunoon, Scotland on the Cowal peninsula, to an Irish mother and English father. His father had been killed in action in World War II a month before he was born.He was raised primarily in Dublin. In his youth, he trained for the priesthood, but gave this up and spent time working in the insurance industry. He worked in The Roundhouse box office for a time, where he was discovered by Ken Campbell. He currently resides in London.
Career
He came to prominence as a member of the comedy act "The Ken Campbell Roadshow". His best known act was as a stuntman character called "Sylveste McCoy" in a play entitled ''An Evening with Sylveste McCoy'' (the name was coined by actor Brian Murphy, part of the Roadshow at the time), where his stunts included putting a fork and nails up his nose and stuffing ferrets down his trousers, and setting his head on fire. As a joke, the programme notes listed Sylveste McCoy as played by "Sylveste McCoy" and, after a reviewer missed the joke and assumed that Sylveste McCoy was a real person, Kent-Smith adopted this as his stage name. Some years later, McCoy added an "r" to the end of "Sylveste". Notable television appearances before he gained the role of the Doctor included roles in ''Vision On'' (where he played Pepe/Epep, a character who lived in the mirror), an O-Man in ''Jigsaw'' and ''Tiswas''. He also appeared in ''Eureka'', often suffering from the inventions of Wilf Lunn. McCoy also portrayed, in one-man shows on the stage, two famous movie comedians: Stan Laurel and Buster Keaton. He also appeared as Henry "Birdie" Bowers in the 1985 television serial about Scott's last Antarctic expedition, ''The Last Place on Earth''.McCoy also had a small role in the 1979 film ''Dracula'' opposite Laurence Olivier and Donald Pleasence, and has sung with the Welsh National Opera.
''Doctor Who'' (1987–1989, 1993 & 1996)
McCoy became the Seventh Doctor after taking over the lead role in ''Doctor Who'' in 1987 from previous incarnation Colin Baker. He remained on the series until it ended in 1989 (see List of Doctor Who serials). As Colin Baker declined the invitation to film the regeneration scene, McCoy briefly wore a wig and appeared as the 6th Doctor in the regeneration scene. He played the Doctor in the 1993 charity special ''Dimensions in Time'', and again in 1996, appearing in the beginning of the ''Doctor Who'' television movie starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor. McCoy is thus acknowledged as the actor who played the Doctor for a longer period of time than any other.In his first series, McCoy, a comedy actor, portrayed the character with a degree of clown-like humour, but script editor Andrew Cartmel soon changed that when fans argued that the character (and plots) were becoming increasingly lightweight. The Seventh Doctor developed into a much darker figure than any of his earlier incarnations, manipulating people like chess pieces and always seeming to be playing a deeper game. A distinguishing feature of McCoy's performances was his manner of speech. He used his natural slight Scottish accent and rolled his ''r''s. At the start of his tenure he used proverbs and sayings adapted to his own ends (e.g. "There's many a slap twixt cup and lap" — ''Delta and the Bannermen''), although this characteristic was phased out during the later, darker series of his tenure. In 1990, readers of Doctor Who Magazine voted McCoy's Doctor "Best Doctor", over perennial favourite Tom Baker. McCoy was the last lead actor to have his face in the ''Doctor Who'' opening titles.
Career post ''Doctor Who''
McCoy's television roles since ''Doctor Who'' have included Michael Sams in the 1997 telemovie ''Beyond Fear'', shown on the first night of broadcast of Five. He has also returned to play the Seventh Doctor in a series of audio plays by Big Finish Productions. In 1988, while still appearing in ''Doctor Who'', McCoy presented a BBC children's programme called ''What's Your Story?'', in which viewers were invited to phone in suggestions for the continuation of an ongoing drama.He has also acted extensively in theatre in productions as diverse as pantomime and Molière. He played Grandpa Jock in John McGrath's ''A Satire of the Four Estaites'' (1996) at the Edinburgh Festival. He played the role of Snuff in the macabre BBC Radio 4 comedy series ''The Cabaret of Dr Caligari''.
In the early 1990s, McCoy was attached in the role of Governor Swann in ''Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl'' when Steven Spielberg was planning on directing, but Disney did not give permission for the film to be made. McCoy was the second choice to play the role of Bilbo Baggins in the Peter Jackson ''The Lord of the Rings'' film trilogy.
On stage he appeared as the Sheriff of Nottingham in a musical version of Robin Hood that featured songs by British composer and lyricist Laurence Mark Wythe at the Broadway Theater, Lewisham in London. He also appeared as the lawyer Dowling in a BBC Production of Henry Fielding's novel, ''The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling''.
thumb|200px|left|McCoy performing with Sandi Toksvig in ''The Lovely Russell Concert'' in June 2008.McCoy has appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company in ''The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'' and in ''King Lear'' in 2007, playing the Fool to Ian McKellen's Lear, a performance which made use of McCoy's ability to play the spoons. The RSC production with McKellen and McCoy was staged in Melbourne, Australia during late July/early August 2007 and Wellington and Auckland, New Zealand during mid to late August 2007. It came into residence at the New London Theatre in late 2007, ending its run in January 2008. He reprised the role for the 2008 television movie of the production.
In May 2008 he performed with the Carl Rosa Company in a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's ''The Mikado'', playing the title role. He only performed with the company briefly, for the week of the show's run performing at the Sheffield Lyceum. Despite being set in Japan, he was able to demonstrate his ability to play the spoons by using his fan. In 2009 McCoy played the character of Mr. Mushnik in the Chocolate Factory's production of ''Little Shop of Horrors''.
He has also made guest appearances in the television series ''The Bill'', the ''Rab C. Nesbitt'' episode "Father" as Rab's mentally ill brother Gash Sr. and the ''Still Game'' episode "Oot" (AKA "Out"), where he played a hermit-type character adjusting to life in modern Glasgow, having remained in his house for over 30 years. In October 2008, he had a minor guest role as an injured ventriloquist on ''Casualty''. In the same month McCoy guest starred in an episode of the BBC soap opera ''Doctors'', playing an actor who once played the time-travelling hero of a children's television series called "The Amazing Lollipop Man". The role was written as a tribute to McCoy.
Video games
McCoy returned to the role of the Seventh Doctor in 1997, recording new audio for the video game ''Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors''.
Recent projects
McCoy began filming for ''The Hobbit'', a two-part adaptation of the book, in Spring 2011. He is to portray the wizard Radagast, alongside fellow King Lear actor Ian McKellen who will be reprising his role as Gandalf.

Early life
Parkinson, or "Parky" as he is known, was born in the village of Cudworth, England. The son of a miner, he was educated at Barnsley Grammar School and passed two O-Levels: in Art and English Language. He was a club cricketer, and both he and his opening partner at Barnsley Cricket Club, Dickie Bird, had trials for Yorkshire together with Geoffrey Boycott. Parkinson began as a journalist on local newspapers, and his Yorkshire background and accent remain part of his appeal. He worked as a reporter on the ''Manchester Guardian'' and later on the ''Daily Express'' in London. He was also conscripted into National Service as Britain's youngest army captain and was involved in the Suez Operation in the summer of 1956.
Career
Television
During the 1960s, Parkinson moved into television, working on current affairs programmes for the BBC and Manchester-based Granada Television.From 1969 he presented Granada's ''Cinema'', a late-night film review programme, (which included his first star interview with Laurence Olivier), before in 1971 presenting his eponymous BBC series. ''Parkinson'' ran until 1982 and from 1998 until December 2007, leaving the BBC for ITV1 partway through the second run. It featured celebrities but it avoided posing the confrontational questions for which Parkinson is well known. By his own reckoning, Parkinson interviewed 2,000 of the world's most famous people. In 1985, he stood in for Barry Norman as presenter of Film 85.
He was one of the original line-up of TV-am in 1983, with Angela Rippon, Anna Ford and Robert Kee, all replaced with younger talent. He also took over as host of Thames Television's ''Give Us a Clue'' from Michael Aspel.
On Halloween night 1992, Parkinson appeared as himself in the television drama ''Ghostwatch''. He was the studio link during a fictional, apparently live, paranormal investigation. However, the ''cinéma vérité'' style in which it was shot led to complaints from viewers who believed it depicted real events. From 1995 to 1999, he hosted the BBC One daytime programme ''Going for a Song''. He again played himself in Richard Curtis' 2003 romantic comedy, ''Love Actually'', interviewing the character Billy Mack, played by Bill Nighy. From 31 January to 3 February 2007, Parkinson presented "Symphony at the Movies" at Sydney Opera House, where he shared stories about his interviews with movie stars and introduced music from films.
In October 2003, Parkinson had a controversial interview with Meg Ryan while she was in the United Kingdom to promote ''In the Cut''. He said it was his most difficult television moment.
Parkinson announced his retirement on 26 June 2007:
In 2007, Parkinson appeared in the Australian soap ''Neighbours'' as himself. On 24 November 2007, during recording of the final regular edition of his ITV chat show, broadcast on 16 December, Parkinson fought back tears as he was given an ovation. The last artist to perform on his show was regular guest Jamie Cullum.
As of December 2008, Parkinson held 458 credits as a presenter on his own and with others.
''Parkinson'' was a flagship of the BBC's prime time schedule, attracting top names before the chat show circuit was part of the promotional mill. Parkinson interviewed Marlon Brando, he was able to interview wartime variety stars while attracting up-and-coming comedians such as Billy Connolly, and was not afraid to allow an interviewee time to be himself, sometimes as with Fred Astaire or Sir Paul McCartney devoting an entire programme to a guest.
Parkinson was a guest on ''Top Gear'' in 2008, posting a lap time of 1:49.4 as the "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car".
Parkinson would always maintain that the most remarkable man he ever interviewed was Muhammad Ali.
He regrets having never interviewed Frank Sinatra or Sir Donald Bradman.

Parkinson took over BBC Radio 4's ''Desert Island Discs'' in 1985, after the death of its creator, Roy Plomley, whose widow was unhappy with Parkinson replacing him. Parkinson stayed for three years until handing over to Sue Lawley. Between 1994 and 1996 he hosted ''Parkinson on Sport'' on BBC Radio Five Live. Between 1996 and 2007, he presented a morning show on BBC Radio 2 called ''Parkinson's Sunday Supplement''; it featured newspaper and entertainment summaries with the help of journalists and a lengthy interview with a media personality. These were interspersed with music that demonstrated his penchant for jazz and big-band. In October 2007, a few months after announcing his retirement from his television series, Parkinson said his radio show would also end. The last programme was broadcast on Sunday 2 December 2007. As an interim Clive Anderson presented the programme during December/January and Eammon Holmes during February and Fiona Bruce during March. Michael Ball has now replaced him on a permanent basis. Parkinson presented a mid-morning programme on London's LBC Newstalk 97.3FM. He was considered responsible for promotion of jazz singers to a more mainstream audience during the run of his BBC radio show.
Writing
In 1965 ''The Sunday Times'' invited Parkinson to write a regular sports column, drawing on characters in his days in cricket and soccer. In the 1980s, Parkinson wrote a series of children's books called ''The Woofits'' about a family of anthropomorphic dog-like creatures in the fictional Yorkshire coal-mining village of Grimeworth. The books led to a TV series, which he narrated. He wrote a sports column for the ''Daily Telegraph'' and is president of the Sports Journalists' Association of Great Britain.His book ''Parky: My Autobiography'' was published on 2 October 2008.
In April 2009, Parkinson wrote about the recently deceased Jade Goody in ''Radio Times''. He described her as "barely educated, ignorant and puerile," adding, "When we clear the media smokescreen from around her death, what we're left with is a woman who came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today." Bishop Jonathan Blake, who had presided over Goody's wedding, took exception to Parkinson's comments.
Other work
On 29 September 2008 Parkinson launched his website, which includes online interviews with Nelson Mandela and British comedian Rory Bremner. The site also includes a blog, giving Parkinson's views on news events plus information about his compilation album, ''Michael Parkinson: My Life In Music'', featuring favourite songs performed by Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé, Dionne Warwick and others.Parkinson gave the keynote address in Sydney on Australia Day 2011, the first non-Australian to do so. Parkinson used the publicity surrounding his Australia Day appearance to promote the abolishment of the Australian monarchy.
Personal life
On 22 August 1959 he married Mary Heneghan, who was from Doncaster. Under her new name, Mary Parkinson was one of the presenters of the Thames TV daytime show ''Good Afternoon'' and briefly presented ''Parkinson'' in the 1970s. They have three children, Andrew, Nicholas and Michael Jr, who were born in 1960, 1964 and 1967 and eight grandchildren (Laura, James, Emma, Georgina, Ben, Felix, Sofia and Honey). In the 1970s he campaigned in support of birth control, having had a vasectomy in 1972 to allow his wife to stop taking the Pill. He is a cricket fan, and in 1990 hosted a World XI team against Yorkshire. Parkinson and his wife live in Bray, Berkshire. He met his friend Michel Roux when rowing down the River Thames on a Sunday to his then pub, the Waterside Inn.
Honours and awards
In 1999 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Lincoln. He was invested as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Prince Charles in November 2000 for services to broadcasting. Parkinson was made a Knight Bachelor in the 2008 New Year's Honours List; he remarked that he was "not the type to get a knighthood" coming as he did "from Barnsley. They give it to anyone nowadays."''Parkinson'' was ranked 8th in a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted for by industry professionals. In April 2006, Parkinson was awarded Honorary Patronage of the University Philosophical Society (Trinity College, Dublin). He was voted number 20 in ITV's "TV's 50 Greatest Stars".
On 4 June 2008 his knighthood was bestowed by the Queen at Buckingham Palace
Parkinson became the first Chancellor of Nottingham Trent University on 11 November 2008. His role includes representing the university and conferring degrees at graduation ceremonies. He is quoted as saying, “I am honoured to be offered the chancellorship at Nottingham Trent University. In television I have always worked with young, ambitious people and I am keen to be involved in this university which helps to realise the aspirations of the young. It will also give me an opportunity to see what I missed!”.
Since 2005, Parkinson has served as the President of the Sports Journalists' Association of Great Britain, the largest national organisation of sports journalists in the world.
In popular culture
His presenting techniques were spoofed by Benny Hill on ''The Benny Hill Show'' (sketch "The Golden Boy"), Alistair McGowan on ''Big Impression'' and by Jon Culshaw on ''Dead Ringers'', in which Culshaw portrays Parkinson interviewing the public at bus stops and other locations. The Kenny Everett character Cupid Stunt was "interviewed" by a cut-out Parkinson in "her" sketches. He is on the cover of the Wings album ''Band on the Run''. Paul McCartney told Parkinson that he would appear on his chat show if Parkinson appeared on the album cover, although it was not until 1999 that McCartney fulfilled his promise.In 2005, Parkinson appeared with comedian Peter Kay on the music video of the re-released "Is This the Way to Amarillo" for Comic Relief, which became a Number 1 single. Parkinson was also featured in ''Irregular Webcomic!'' Number 1697.
In May 2009 Parkinson "bemoaned the state of TV generally, saying he was fed up of the rise of celebrities hosting shows, ridiculously titled documentaries and property shows", saying "In my television paradise there would be no more property programmes, no more police-chasing-yobbos-in-cars programmes and, most of all and please God, no more so-called documentary shows with titles like My 20-Ton Tumour, My Big Fat Head, Wolf Girl, Embarrassing Illnesses and The Fastest Man on No Legs." On the 11th October 2010 Parkinson appeared on Richard Bacon's Radio 5 Live show where he was particularly critical of British comedian and actor Russell Brand saying “I don't see the point of him,"
Mark E. Smith of The Fall, on the song "Middlemass" from the live album ''The Legendary Chaos Tape, London, 1980'' has an improvised line about "the son of Mike Parkinson made from coal".

Patrick George Troughton (25 March 1920 – 28 March 1987) was an English actor most widely known for his roles in fantasy, science fiction and horror films, particularly in his role as the second incarnation of the Doctor in the long-running British science-fiction television series ''Doctor Who'', which he played from 1966 to 1969, reappearing in 1973, 1983 and 1985. He was also the first actor to play Robin Hood on television. His biography is currently being written by son Michael Troughton for publication in November 2011.
Early life
Troughton was born on 25 March 1920 in Mill Hill, Middlesex, England to Alec George Troughton, a solicitor, and Dorothy Evelyn Offord, who married in 1914 in Edmonton, and had an older brother, Alec Robert (1915–1994), and a younger sister, Mary Edith (1923–2005). Troughton attended Mill Hill School and continued to live in Mill Hill for most of his life. While at Mill Hill School, he acted in a production of J.B. Priestley's "Bees on the Boat Deck" in March 1937. His brother A.R. ('Robin') Troughton shared the 1933 Walter Knox Prize for Chemistry with the future Nobel Prize winner Francis Crick, who also attended Mill Hill School.He would later attend the Embassy School of Acting at Swiss Cottage, under Eileen Thorndike. After his time at the Embassy School of Acting, Troughton won a scholarship to the Leighton Rallius Studios at the John Drew Memorial Theatre on Long Island in New York, U.S.
When the Second World War broke out, he returned to Britain on a Belgian ship. The ship hit a mine and sank off the coast of Britain; Troughton escaped in a lifeboat. Troughton had joined the Tonbridge Repertory Company in 1939 and in 1940 joined the Royal Navy. He was a Lieutenant, R.N.V.R. on East Coast Convoy duty from February to August 1941, and Coastal Forces (M.G.B.'s) based at Great Yarmouth from November 1942 to 1945, and was mentioned in dispatches. He was concerned in an "E" boat action, when one was successfully destroyed by ramming, and his ship and another destroyed two others by gunfire. His decorations included the 1939-45 Star, and Atlantic Star. He would wear a tea cosy on his head in cold weather in the North Sea.
Acting career
Before ''Doctor Who''
After the war, Troughton returned to the theatre in 1945. He worked with the Amersham Repertory Company, the Bristol Old Vic Company and the Pilgrim Players at the Mercury Theatre, Notting Hill Gate. He made his television debut in 1947. In 1948, Troughton made his cinema debut with small roles in Olivier's ''Hamlet'', the TCF production "Escape" (one of the stars of which was William Hartnell), and a minor role as a pirate in ''Treasure Island'' appearing only during the attack on the heroes' hut. However, television was his favourite medium. In 1953 he became the first actor to play the famous folk hero Robin Hood on television, starring in six half-hour episodes broadcast from 17 March to 21 April on the BBC, and titled simply ''Robin Hood'' (Vahimagi, 42). (His grandson Sam Troughton played one of Robin's colleagues in the 2006 BBC TV Series of the same name.) Troughton's other notable film and television roles included Kettle in ''Chance of a Lifetime'' (1950), Sir Andrew Ffoulkes in ''The Scarlet Pimpernel'' (1955), Vickers in the episode entittled Strange Partners in The Invisible Man (the ITP Series also starred Pat's future Female Companion, Victoria in the Person of a young Deborah Watling as Sally)(1958),Phineas in ''Jason and the Argonauts'' (1963), Quilp in ''The Old Curiosity Shop'' (1962), ''Paul of Tarsus'' (BBC 1960, title role), ''Dr. Finlay's Casebook'' (BBC 1962, semiregular). He voiced Winston Smith in a 1965 BBC Home Service radio adaptation of ''Nineteen Eighty-Four''. Prior to ''Doctor Who'' he appeared in numerous TV shows including, ''The Count of Monte Cristo'', ''The Adventures of Robin Hood'', ''Ivanhoe'', ''Dial 999'', ''Danger Man'', ''Maigret'', ''Compact'', ''The Third Man'', ''Crane'', ''Detective'', ''Sherlock Holmes'', ''No Hiding Place'', ''The Saint'', ''Armchair Theatre'', ''The Wednesday Play'', ''Z-Cars'', ''Adam Adamant Lives!'' and ''Softly, Softly''.
''Doctor Who'' (1966–1969)
In 1966, ''Doctor Who'' producer Innes Lloyd decided to replace William Hartnell in the series' lead role. The continued survival of the show depended on audiences accepting another actor in the role, despite the bold decision that the replacement would not be a Hartnell lookalike or soundalike. Lloyd later stated that Hartnell had approved of the choice, saying, "There's only one man in England who can take over, and that's Patrick Troughton" (Howe, Stammers and Walker, p68). Lloyd chose Troughton because of his extensive and versatile experience as a character actor. After he was cast, Troughton considered various ways to approach the role, to differentiate his portrayal from Hartnell's amiable-yet-tetchy patriarch. Troughton's early thoughts about how he might play the Doctor included a "tough sea captain", and a piratical figure in blackface and turban. ''Doctor Who'' creator Sydney Newman suggested that the Doctor could be a "cosmic hobo" in the mould of Charlie Chaplin, and this was the interpretation eventually chosen (Howe, Stammers and Walker, p68–69). Troughton was the first Doctor to have his face appear in the opening titles of the show, and one of only five "Doctor Who" actors to play two roles in the same story when he appeared as Salamander in "The Enemy Of The World" (this also occurred with William Hartnell in ''The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve'', Tom Baker in ''Meglos'', Peter Davison in ''Arc of Infinity'', David Tennant in ''Journey's End'', and Matt Smith in "The Rebel Flesh" and "The Almost People").During his time on the series, Troughton tended to shun publicity and rarely gave interviews. He told one interviewer, "I think acting is magic. If I tell you all about myself it will spoil it" (Howe, Stammers and Walker p72). Years later, he told another interviewer that his greatest concern was that too much publicity would limit his opportunities as a character actor after he left the role (KTEH interview).
Troughton was popular with both the production team and his co-stars. Producer Lloyd credited Troughton with a "leading actor's temperament. He was a father figure to the whole company and hence could embrace it and sweep it along with him". Troughton also gained a reputation on set as a practical joker (Howe, Stammers and Walker p68, 74).
Regrettably, many of the early episodes in which Troughton appeared were wiped by the BBC (a full list of ''Doctor Who'' episodes missing from the BBC Archives is available here). Troughton found ''Doctor Who'''s schedule (at the time, 40 to 44 episodes per year) gruelling, and decided to leave the series in 1969, after three years in the role. This decision was also motivated in part by fear of typecasting (Howe, Stammers and Walker p75; KTEH interview). Troughton's decision would eventually become something of an unwritten law (the "Troughton Rule") among actors, in order to prevent one from becoming typecast in a particular role in a potentially long-running television programme. Patrick Troughton was succeeded in the role by Jon Pertwee.
Troughton returned to ''Doctor Who'' three times after he originally left the programme, becoming the only former "Doctor" to reprise the role that many times on television after his original run. The first time was in ''The Three Doctors'', a 1973 serial celebrating the programme's 10th anniversary. Ten years later, Troughton overcame some reluctance to reprise his role and agreed to appear in the 20th anniversary special ''The Five Doctors'' at the request of series producer John Nathan-Turner. He also agreed to attend ''Doctor Who'' conventions including the show's 20th Anniversary celebrations at Longleat in 1983. He also appeared around the world with Nathan-Turner. Troughton enjoyed the return to the programme so much that he readily agreed to appear one more time as the Second Doctor, with Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor in ''The Two Doctors'' (1985). Reportedly, he also advised the Fifth Doctor, actor Peter Davison, to limit his time in the role to three seasons in order to avoid being typecast and the young actor followed that advice.
After ''Doctor Who''
After Troughton left Doctor Who in 1969, he appeared in various films and television roles. Film roles included Klove in ''Scars of Dracula'' (1970), Father Brennan in ''The Omen'' (1976) and Melanthius in ''Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger'' (1977). Television roles included the recurring role of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk in five of the six episodes of ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII'' (1970), the villainous Nasca in Thames Television's Aztec-themed drama ''The Feathered Serpent'' (1976–1978), a guest starring spot in the comedy series ''The Goodies'' in the episode "The Baddies", as well as episodes of ''Paul Temple'', ''Dr. Finlay Casebook'', ''Doomwatch'', ''The Persuaders!'', ''A Family at War'', ''Coronation Street'', ''Softly, Softly: Taskforce'', ''Colditz'', ''Play for Today'', ''Z-Cars'', ''Special Branch'', ''Sutherland's Law'', ''The Sweeney'', ''Jason King'', ''Survivors'', ''Crown Court'', ''Angels'', ''Warship'', ''Van der Valk'', ''Space: 1999'', ''The Onedin Line'', ''All Creatures Great and Small'', ''Only When I Laugh'' (Series 2, Total Episode #9), ''Nanny'', ''Minder'', and the first episode of ''Inspector Morse''. He also portrayed Cole Hawlings in a BBC Television dramatisation of the John Masefield children's book ''The Box of Delights'' (1984). In the same year he also appeared in a "Two Ronnies" Christmas Special playing a judge.Troughton's health was never entirely robust and later in his life he refused to accept his doctor's advice that he had developed a serious heart condition through overwork and stress. He suffered two major heart attacks, one in 1978 and the other in 1984, which prevented him from working for several months. Following each of these attacks, his doctor's warnings were again ignored as Troughton committed himself to a heavy TV and film schedule.
He featured in the 1974 11-part radio adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's ''Sword of Honour''. In 1986, he was a regular in the LWT sitcom ''The Two of Us'', and guested in an episode of ''Super Gran'' in May 1987, which was the last role he recorded. His final television appearance was in the autumn of the same year in ''Knights of God'', which had actually been filmed two years earlier but had sat on the shelf for ages before transmission.
Death
On Friday, 27 March 1987, Troughton was a guest at the Magnum Opus Con II science fiction convention in Columbus, Georgia, USA.Although he had been warned by his doctors before leaving the UK not to exert himself because of his heart condition, Troughton appeared to be in good spirits and participated vigorously in the day's panels, and was looking forward to a belated birthday celebration, which was planned for the coming Saturday evening, as well as a screening of the ''Doctor Who'' story ''The Dominators'', which Troughton had requested personally, on the Saturday afternoon. He was also scheduled to appear on stage the following Monday with ''Doctor Who'' producer John Nathan-Turner and Sylvester McCoy, who had been announced as the Seventh Doctor earlier that month. Jon Pertwee ultimately took the place that had been intended for him on the panel.
Troughton suffered a third and final heart attack at 7:25 a.m. the next day (28 March 1987) just after he had ordered his breakfast from the hotel staff. According to the paramedics who were called, Troughton had died before he had fallen back on to his bed.
Family life
Troughton was married three times and he is survived by his second girlfriend Ethel Margaret 'Bunny' Troughton. He had two daughters and four sons, as well as a stepdaughter and stepson.
Troughton's grandchildren include:
