The PATRICK TROUGHTON Era - 1966 to 1969
(Had to include some missing stories because I couldn't let them by without a mention)
1. 'The Power of the Daleks' - tragically destroyed in form, this story is packed with incredible characters, jarring plot twists and chilling wonderfulness. Troughton's first adventure as Doctor, an involving and terrifying read if you can get hold of the book.
2.
'The Evil of the Daleks' - another story lost to the fires and the oversights, but what remains is inspiring and what doesn't sounds and looks magnificent. Dalek battles, the Emperor, Troughton shrouded in mystery.
3.
'The Enemy of the World' - a surprising Earth-bound story with political intrigue and left turns aplenty. Especially watch for Troughton playing both protagonist and antagonist - very high-octane, very gripping.
4.
'Tomb of the Cybermen' - a classic adventure, deeply iconic and wonderfully shot and scored. A brill watch with chills on the side.
5.
'The Invasion' - my own first taste of the Troughton era, a thrilling (if long) swinging sixties serial with Cybermen, UNIT and again no shortage of iconic imagery. Bit of a hit.
