David Troughton in The Levelling (2016)
Somerset, England. Trainee veterinarian Clover Catto returns to the farm where she grew up after hearing news that her brother Harry has died - what appears to be a suicide. Finding the family home in a state of disrepair following the 2014 floods that devastated the area, Clover is forced to confront her father Aubrey - about the farm, the livestock and, crucially, the details surrounding Harry's death. As the funeral approaches, her discoveries send Clover on emotional journey of reckoning - with her family, her childhood and herself.

David Troughton was born in London on 9 June 1950, the son of noted Shakespearean actor Patrick Troughton, who is now best remembered as the Second Doctor in Doctor Who (1963). He started his own acting career at the Unicorn Theatre for Children. His stage career has included repertory at Leeds, Manchester and Bromley, roles at the Royal Court and the National Theatre.

He is a leading member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and is considered to be one of Britain's finest classical actors. He has brought his regal presence to the narration of the television series Diana: Story of a Princess (2001) and the portrayal of "King George V" in the acclaimed All the King's Men (1999). His son, Sam Troughton, is also an actor.

    • Trivia
      He is good friends with Peter Davison and Colin Baker, two of his father's successors as the Doctor.
    • Quotes
      [on A Very Peculiar Practice (1986)] The writing was so poignant, so funny - and it was one of the few anti-Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher) series. I'm not sure the BBC realised what gold it had in its hands.
