Patrick Troughton's guest spot

Apparently Patrick Troughton guest-starred in episode #2.13, called "The Baddies" as a character named Dr Petal. I'm a massive Doctor Who fan but I didn't know about this until Pat's name happened to be mentioned on the lighthouse episode's commentary track. Can someone tell me what his role in the episode was like?

I suspect the problem is that you have too many paperclips up your nose

i thought it was good i think he wanted to play a baddie after being a goody in Dr who :D i'd give him 10/10 for his performance he should have played more babbies roles i think he would have pulled it of easily :D
i loved his goodies look alike robbing people and the real Goodies got the blame
and the baddies stole the goodies trandom ,

He was completely over the top. And I liked that.

Patrick Troughton (the Second Doctor) was great as "Dr. Petal" in The Goodies' episode "The Baddies".

Jon Pertwee (the Third Doctor) was also great as the "Reverand Llewellyn Llewellyn Llewellyn Llewellyn" in The Goodies' episode "Wacky Wales".
