Tributes were paid today to actor Patrick Troughton, the BBC's second Dr Who, who died in the United States at the weekend, aged 67.<br />
<br />
He suffered a heart attack while attending a Dr Who convention in Columbus, Georgia.<br />
<br />
Dr Who producer John Nathan Turner said Mr Troughton would be "sorely missed by the profession in general and the Dr Who 'family' in particular.<br />
<br />
He added: "Patrick Troughton returned to play the part of the Doctor on the [[broadwcast:The Three Doctors|10th anniversary]] of the show in 1973 and the [[broadwcast:The Five Doctors|20th anniversary]] in 1983 He also appeared in a [[broadwcast:The Two Doctors|special programme]] with recent Dr Who Colin Baker in 1985.<br />
<br />
"He was an actor of tremendous integrity with a natural sense of fun The profession is deprived of one of its true professionals."<br />
<br />
Mr Troughton played many other roles, including Hitler in Night Conspirators.<br />
<br />
His films included Sinbad, Eye of the Tiger, and Omen<br />
<br />
On television he had parts in Dr Finlay's Casebook, Coronation Street, Six Wives of Henry VII, The Old Curiosity Shop and A Family at War.<br />
<br />
His latest work was for ITV's serial The Two of Us.<br />
<br />
He leaves a widow, six children and two stepchildren.<br />
