- [on playing the highlander, Jamie McCrimmon, in Doctor Who (1963) for three years] People say that it had a cult following. I say, no, it had a kilt following.
- [on Patrick Troughton] A brilliant actor and a believable Doctor.
- He taught me so much, Patrick, as an actor. It was lovely to watch him.
- When I think of Doctor Who (1963), I think of Patrick Troughton, the Second Doctor. Working with him were the happiest years of my career - he was a lovely man, and we gelled straight away. As the Doctor, he could make you laugh and then run round the corner and suddenly make you frightened, or vice versa.
- I'm slightly disappointed with the BBC over the 50th anniversary. I thought they would have pushed the boat out and shown a William Hartnell story in January, a Troughton story in February and so on. The BBC should have shown it on a Saturday and said to everyone, 'This is how it really was!'
