You wouldn't by chance have any footage of him from the next day when he, The master, George Takei, and James Doohan were signing autographs at Peachtree Mall in Columbus? I was there. Thanks.
Talking about Nicholas Lyndhurst - that would be very early in his career - obviously Nicholas has just been appearing in the new Frasier show - which will be the first time many Americans will have become aware of him ...
Less than 16 hours before his passing, signing for his beloved fans. Truly he was a national treasure, and so unfortunate that he couldn’t have lived much longer.
I met Bill Wards daughter once at a party in Austin Texas. Once she established who her father was, we had a conversation highlighted by this song. I wish I could have kept in touch with her, just so I might be able to let her Dad know how much his music profoundly touched my soul. I love that Dude!
Crazy to think this was only 9 years after they stopped junking the DW episodes. I wish he lived to see more of his episodes being discovered - when he passed away practically all his episodes from his first two seasons were still missing. He also seems to correctly predict that "fans" are secretly holding onto some copies out there...
He looked really good here. Looked in good cheer and a lot of energy. I guess you really can't tell what's going on inside someone's body just from outside signs.
Oh man when he takes out that recorder. Chills. He just carried that around with him? I just found this at random trying to find the name of the con he was at when he died. Thanks for posting this. Any idea who shot it? Was it a relative of yours?
@@JoeSiegler I read it, but it only says that you didn't film it. Doesn't give the chain of custody (so to speak) of the tape, so I wasn't sure if maybe it was gotten from someone you knew or was some kinda garage sale or thrift store find. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
@@professorhaystacks6606 No worries. Yeah, it was just sitting on an old 30 year old VHS tape that had random Doctor Who stuff on it. I have no memory now of where I got it originally. But wasn't me - just got a copy from someone else - another person who I've forgotten who they were.
@@JoeSiegler Thanks for the info. I probably wored that weirdly, but I always worry about coming off aggressive. Anyway, this sort of thing is why people keep hoping there'll be a color copy of Invasion of the Dinosaurs ep 1 or The Mind of Evil episode 3 (or 1? I forget which) showing up on US VHS recordings (and I think there were a few others). Though those have been manually recollored at this point (and I need to get the blu ray for Invasion of the Dinosaurs at some point: I have the DVD with the crude chromadot color).
@@professorhaystacks6606 It's all good. I never correlated my posting of this to the concept of finding things on VHS like missing episodes. Wish I could remember where it came from, but too many decades in the rear view mirror now.
Ill be trying to replicate this soon, thank you so much for uploading this stuff, gives me a fantastic understanding of how my fav games sprites were made:3
Crazy to think in the next 10 years we will have most likely lose doctors 4-7 not sure if I want them to go in order but it’s sorta weird how they have so far and have died die to their hearts giving out same when they had sure kind hearts
I loved Pat. I had the privilege of meeting him and then working with him on a documentary I was producing. I shot the last on camera interview with him just weeks before this. I vividly remember the early morning phone call from friends at the con, telling me he'd passed. They were coordinating with Nick Courtney and the other guests on how to tell the fans in attendance and his family. I was given the go ahead to call some news outlets with the news. There were a few of us who managed to get Pat's untimely death reported in the American media. The reason I was asked to make some calls was because of my long association with the series as well as being a professional journalist. I knew people at various television news departments as well as some newspaper editors who would take my word that the information was true & accurate. Something that seems to be missing in current journalism.
Not to sound insensitive regarding his death, but he partially placed himself in that position in the first place. Doctor's warned him, take it easy. Don't work so hard. And he chose not to take their advice. He had suffered two major heart attacks (one in 79 and the other in 84). It also didn't help he drank and smoked heavily (he did quit smoking though). Regardless RIP Patrick George Troughton.
Nice to hear there's another fan of "The Dominators" in the conversation, woohoo! 🎉 that, along with the quip on "The Trial of a Time Lord", and lots of other things - terrific interview, thanksbfor posting this!
I have this same copy or there abouts - that is to say, it's crap quality. I digitised my copy years ago, and did some work to clean it up a bit. Not a whole lot to do when you don't have the original VHS source - ie working from a copy of a copy etc... not the original, but it is better. A few years back someone uploaded just the bit right at the end, when he has walked off stage, and then comes back on camera and says he'll see you tomorrow... And it was just crystal clear. Obviously was very close to the original print... No idea if it's still online anywhere - I wish it was available...
