If it hadn’t been for Patrick Troughton, we wouldn’t be celebrating Doctor Who’s 54th year on air – his time as the Second Doctor cemented the show in the public imagination, and showed that it could change lead actor without losing the magic.

Koch Media’s latest release of material from Reeltime Pictures’ Myth Makers releases includes a special tribute to Patrick Troughton containing messages from a host of stars and production staff from Doctor Who, as well as in-depth interviews with the five actors who played his companions: Anneke Wills (Polly), Michael Craze (Ben), Frazer Hines (Jamie), Deborah Watling (Victoria) and Wendy Padbury (Zoe). And thanks to those kind people at Witchfinder PR, we have two sets to give away.

To win a copy, just answer the following simple question:

In which famous horror film did Troughton play a doomed priest?

A) The Exorcist

B) The Omen

C) Lifeforce

Simply send your answer – A, B, or C – to scifibulletin@gmail.com with the subject line MY GIDDY AUNT along with your name and address and the following code (which will change regularly) 200, to arrive before 0001 on Monday June 19th, 2017. This competition is only open to readers in the UK and Eire.
