Patrick Troughton guests as ruthless racketeer George, out to silence the man who can identify his brother as a murderer, in Dial 999: Key Witness (1.26, ABC, 1959)
#fave spotting#patrick troughton#dial 999#doctor who#classic doctor who#two#abc#key witness#1959#as with other Dial 999 posts‚ the episode number and year of transmission are more in the way of educated guesses#tho two separate sources identify this as ep 26 so that's good enough for me#yes it's been a while‚ i got very distracted and wandered away from Dial 999 but I'm mopping it up now#this was a very pleasant surprise‚ not least because Pat had already made two appearances in the series: a minor role as a heavy in 1.5 and#an uncredited appearance as a tramp in 1.16 (both can be found if you follow the fave spotting tag) so i wasn't really expecting him to#turn up again. but he does! and he finally gets a real meaty part! he's the villain of the week‚ a criminal of vague occupation (he has#something to do with gambling? race tracks maybe? idk it kind of gets glossed over) but when his kid brother kills a rival and is easily#apprehended‚ Pat decides it's time to silence the witness... cue a tense cat and mouse as Pat and goon tail their mark as the police tail#them. genuinely one of the most enjoyable episodes of this funny little series i think‚ and a lot of that is down to Pat giving it his#all as a dangerous gangster. he lounges around in a dressing gown‚ he slaps his bro around‚ he jeers at the cops and he#threatens his lawyer with a watery sack grave. he's gone full villain! and it's delightful!
