Patrick Troughton in Concord New Hampshire

[JeffL]

This is the exact same ten minute segment that is posted on the "Patrick Troughton on Blue Peter" thread. I inadvertently took over the theme of that thread and posted excerpts from a Patrick Troughton press conference held in Concord, New Hampshire USA in March 1986. It was sponsored by New Hampshire Public Television.

Considering there has been a bit of an interest from missingepisodes members, I figured I would give this its own thread. The entire event ran about 50-55 minutes, maybe more. I recorded it for a local radio station I was working for in those days.

I have yet to rip the entire event to my computer but I pulled out about ten minutes of comments that I found to be rather interesting and have made them available through the zShare.net website. Again, this is not any different than what I have already posted but I am trying to make it easier to find due to "popular demand."

Thanks Jeff -- that brings back lots of memories.... Amazing that it was over 20 years ago... Seems like just yesterday... Somewhere I have Pat's autograph from that show in a copy of one of Peter Haining's books. Wonder what I did with it ... :-)

Hi Jeff,

Were these extracts from the actual press conference that Troughton gave to the media before the convention started?

If so, I was at that conference along with a then-good friend of mine; at the time, we were doing a Doctor Who fanzine (as well as attending the convention) and were given the same treatment as other members of the "legitimate" press.

As soon as time permits, I'll have to give this a listen. Thanks for posting it!

Cheers,
JohnH
