The Second Doctor--Not a Goody.

"The Doctor, still in his old woman’s disguise, shuffled up holding out a mug to be filled from the barrel. He nudged one of the soldiers who was blocking the way and said, in a cracked voice, ‘Ladies first.’

The soldiers turned round and laughed at the strange looking old woman.  They started to shove her from one to the other.

The Doctor put up with it for a couple of minutes, trying to preserve his disguise, and then he suddenly reached his hands out, grabbed the startled soldiers by their cross belts, and banged their heads together with the most unladylike strength. As they subsided to sitting positions on the floor, half stunned, the Doctor took the full mug from the third soldier who just stared at him and, with huffy dignity, stepped over their legs."

"I don't think he was a goody.  He was a bit naughty, wasn't he?  Of course, you've got to be on the right side when there's a villain's about, but he was naughty all the same."

--Patrick Troughton on "His" Doctor, Interview to Richard Marson, DWM #102, 1984
