As it’s still morning, and I’m struggling to type words that will make me any money, here’s a nice YouTube distraction. From 1983, an interview with Peter Davison and Patrick Troughton about Doctor Who‘s 20th anniversary on BBC One’s first breakfast TV show, Breakfast Time, with Frank Bough and an extremely flirtatious Selina Scott.

Despite the time of day, the Fifth and Second Doctor actors are wide awake and seemingly in playful mood, joking and generally being entertaining guests.

However, there are two curious things about it.

1. There is absoutely no mention of The Five Doctors. Clearly the guests are there to discuss the anniversary, but the special is conspicuous by its absence.

2. The studio seems to be far too big. Frank Bough might as well have been speaking to them from the Grandstand studio. Selina Scott is closer, but still, not all that close. Odd.

Enjoy!
