Will wonders never cease? Although Patrick Troughton is my all-time
favorite Doctor Who I had no idea this existed. I’ve had a lot of fun watching
him in his many Hammer film appearances and looking for him as a supporting
player in dozens of other movies over the span of his career but this early
lead role is a complete surprise. He seems to have played Robin in all six
episodes of this 1953 production but this brief snippet is all that remains.
Damned shame as I would gladly pay to see the entire run out of curiosity at
the least. Amusingly, Troughton also popped up on the later show The Adventures
of Robin Hood (1956-1960) as a guest playing different characters in several
episodes. Check out this piece of BBC history!
