Dad's career
Patrick's life of acting:
Apart from the obvious role of Doctor Who (at which, in my opinion, he excelled), what would be the highlights of Dad’s career? I have been asked this question many times over the years. The parts I consider he was born to play or at least that made a big impact on others and myself. The productions in which Patrick will best be remembered.
