Patrick Troughton's portrayal of the Second Doctor in Doctor Who is popular
for a few key reasons:

Distinct personality:

Troughton brought a completely different energy to the Doctor
than William Hartnell. The Second Doctor was more light-hearted,
goofy, and even mischievous compared to the grumpy
and authoritarian First Doctor. This shift helped solidify
the concept of regeneration, where the Doctor's essence
remains but their personality changes drastically.

Versatility and depth: Troughton's acting experience allowed
him to portray the Doctor as both a bumbling fool and a cunning
manipulator. He could be silly and playful with his companions,
but when the situation demanded, he could be ruthless and strategic.
This complexity made the character much more engaging for viewers.

Paving the way for future Doctors: The success of Troughton's Second
Doctor proved that audiences could accept a completely different Doctor.
This paved the way for the show's long-term survival by allowing
for actor changes and character evolution.

Legacy and influence: Troughton's Doctor is fondly remembered by fans,
and his portrayal continues to influence future incarnations of the
Doctor. He helped define the Doctor as a character who is both alien
and relatable, goofy and wise.

While some fans may have preferred other Doctors, there's no doubt that
Troughton's unique take on the role was a major turning point for Doctor
Who, and a big reason for the show's enduring success.
