Dr Who Review, Part 3 - The Patrick Troughton Era

The third episode in my ongoing series of reviews, with analysis, of the BBC science-fiction show, Doctor Who.

In this part, the era of the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, is considered. We take a look how the decision to recast the lead was made, and how social concerns influenced the development of a key enemy, before looking in depth at two of what I consider standout stories from this era.
