Patrick Troughton interrogates the Saint as an unnamed Buenos Aires police inspector (perhaps an ancestor of Ramón Salamander...?) in The Saint: The Romantic Matron (2.18, ITC, 1964)

#fave spotting #patrick troughton #the saint #doctor who #classic doctor who #two #the romantic matron #1964 #itc #an unusually small role for Pat. he may not yet have been the household name he would become but he was certainly a well known tv actor #in 64. his starring role in the BBC's Paul of Tarsus in 1960 had brought him some acclaim and by this point he was often billed #as a 'guest star' in this kind of single episode appearance. here he only really gets two short scenes and his character has no real #definition beyond 'cop'. ho hum i guess it was a paycheck in the end. still he has some fun with a slightly wandering accent #regrettable tho it is for a white actor to be cast as a south american character‚ it's honestly difficult to tell if Pat is wearing makeup #(i mean beyond the dramatic eyeliner he'd also have as Salamander). he had a fairly dark complexion so may not have been in brown face #or maybe he was; John Carson is certainly in brown face for this episode‚ as he was in his previous Saint outing #it's a depressing element of old tv watching that it comes with content that we now appreciate to be unacceptable #these pics are bad too apologies for that. but i see Pat i make a little post thems the rules i guess
