    The Cosmic Hobo
    The 'Cosmic Hobo.' Patrick Troughton. He played the Doctor between 1966 and 1969. The decision to write the regeneration features of the Doctor came after the first Doctor, William Hartnell, had health problems and struggled with his lines. The show was a hit and obviously, the producers didn't want the show to end, so they considered replacing Hartnell with a lookalike, as had been done on many shows in the past when an actor couldn't continue with the role. Fortunately, the creators had the idea that the Doctor, being an alien, could simply regenerate every cell in his body when he died. This way, they could cast a fresh, completely different actor without all the fuss of "does he really look like and act like the original Doctor?" Patrick Troughton wasn't just a new actor cast as the Doctor, but he brought to the role a different, more ebullient personality. He received the nickname of the Cosmic Hobo because his clothes were often tattered, ill-fitting and he had a "raggedy" way about him. Troughton is arguably the reason for DW's greater success, because had he failed, the idea of a regenerating character would have tanked and the show would have lasted only four or five years. We wouldn't have any of the others.
