- His largest role in the original version of Doctor Who was in the Third Doctor story The Curse of Peladon, where he played King Peladon, a role which he reprised in the Companion Chronicles story The Prisoner of Peladon. He had earlier appeared as Private Moor in The War Games, which was the final story starring his father. He also played an uncredited guard in The Enemy of the World, which also starred his father. (DWM 219) Decades later, he joined the BBC Wales team in Midnight as Professor Winfold Hobbes, an episode directed by Alice Troughton, to whom he is unrelated.
- David would have become the Eighth Doctor if the TV movie hadn't happened, but he has never begrudged Paul McGann, and even helped him out with many of his basement productions. According to Katy Manning, she and David both fancied each other, but he was too chickenshit to ask her out. Seriously? Even Mike Yates had no problem asking Jo out, and he was gay.

| - His largest role in the original version of Doctor Who was in the Third Doctor story The Curse of Peladon, where he played King Peladon, a role which he reprised in the Companion Chronicles story The Prisoner of Peladon. He had earlier appeared as Private Moor in The War Games, which was the final story starring his father. He also played an uncredited guard in The Enemy of the World, which also starred his father. (DWM 219) In the early 1990s he was to become the face of Virgin Publishing's proposed new Doctor who would have appeared in the New Adventures line of books following the regeneration of the Seventh Doctor. The idea went as far as a photoshoot before the BBC vetoed the idea. Decades later, he joined the BBC Wales team in Midnight as Professor Winfold Hobbes, an episode directed by Alice Troughton, to whom he is unrelated. In licensed Big Finish Productions audios, he has played the villain in several Fifth Doctor adventures. He was the Tinghus in Cuddlesome, a new incarnation of the Black Guardian in The Key 2 Time stories, The Destroyer of Delights and The Chaos Pool, a role which he later reprised in The Well-Mannered War, and Raymond Gallagher in The Crimes of Thomas Brewster. He also read short fiction in the Short Trips audiobooks starring the Second Doctor. Beyond Doctor Who, Troughton is also a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and a renowned classical actor. He co-starred with Peter Davison in the TV series A Very Peculiar Practice, and Colin Baker in three episodes of the home video and audio play series The Stranger. He enjoys strong friendships with both of these actors, and even shared living accommodations with Baker in the early 1970s. He was also friends with actor Katy Manning at one point. According to Manning, they had both apparently had wanted to convert the friendship into a romance, but neither had the courage to do so. (BBC DVD: The Three Doctors) In 2011, he starred in the final two releases of the Serpent Crest audio line. In these he played a clone of the Second Doctor.

David has three sons, one of whom is a Shakespearean actor who's managed to completely avoid any association with Doctor Who by appearing in such high-profile dramas as Aliens vs. Predator and the stupid BBC version of Robin Hood (not to be confused with the good BBC version of Robin Hood or the boring BBC version of Robin Hood).
