Troughton also played the Duke of Norfolk in "The Six Wives of Henry VIII".
Norfolk was into heavy-duty politics.  He got his niece, Jane Howard, married
to the King. He later suggested that she get pregnant to protect herself from
the consequences of a youthful indescretion, knowing Henry was no longer able
to help her do this.  I believe Norfolk eventually turned her in to Henry - she
certainly ended up loosing her head.  Not a fun person.  I was shocked when,
shortly afer seeing Troughton in "6 W H 8", I saw him in "the Five Doctors".
Troughton is a dedicated and superb actor.
