THE HAT SQUAD: MICHAEL GOUGH AS "THE CELESTIAL TOYMAKER"

With the passing of actor Michael Gough, Toobworld Central wants to pay tribute with a few posts about some of the TV characters he played.

Perhaps the most famous is "The Celestial Toymaker" from 'Doctor Who'. It was a multi-part story involving the First Doctor and his Companions Stephen and Dodo, but only the last chapter remains.

Still, YouTube does supply a few summaries for the episodes that are lost. So here's "The Celestial Toymaker" - the first three episodes presented as audio summaries and then the original fourth episode, "The Final Test".

EPISODE ONE









EPISODE TWO







EPISODE THREE



And now, the conclusion, the only episode known to exist....

EPISODE FOUR

This wasn't Michael Gough's only appearance on Doctor Who. He also appeared as Councilor Hedin in "Arc Of Infinity."

His other connection with The Doctor is that he was married from 1962-1979 to Anneke Wills who played the companion who followed Dodo, Polly. About the only complete story with Polly in it is her debut episode "The War Machines."
