Patrick Troughton lays down the law as Italian police Inspector Guido Gambetti in The Saint: Interlude in Venice (5.2, ITC, 1966)
#fave spotting#patrick troughton#the saint#interlude in venice#doctor who#classic doctor who#two#1966#itc#Pat had made a previous Saint ep (2.18‚ The Romantic Matron) also as a local cop embroiled in Simon's schemes (Argentine in the earlier ep#Venetian here). his cop this time is rather more fleshed out; he's astute and intelligent enough to allow Simon pretty much a free#hand in pursuing the villains (all the most successful guest cops pretty much sit back and let him do his thing) whilst also acknowledging#that solving the case will undoubtedly be good for his career. there's also a subtle hint of comic business; in their first meeting#in a hospital‚ Pat sits on what appears to be a stretcher and has to be moved off it by an irate nurse‚ and he also offers to light candles#for Simon (bc he's the Saint ofc). this aired almost exactly a month before Pat debuted in DW in Power of the Daleks episode 1#his tenure on Who would put an end to these kinds of guest spots for a couple of years‚ and afterwards he'd generally appear in more mature#or quirky guest roles‚ making this quite possibly the last of his detective roles#but he's a lot of fun as always‚ and his Italiano accent is definitely on the right side of Ham#and to think @thisbluespirit you and @basiltheratatouille were planning to waylay me and steal these dvds away!#and deprive me of a little Italian Patty T?! monsters both
