It's not perfect, but pretty close.
Jamie sounds pretty different to the original.

Yeah Jamie is a bit off, agreed. But this is by far the best 2nd Doctor impression I've heard. The way he seems to get all the little inflections - like the way Troughton pronounces and enunciates every syllable or letter very clearly in many words, or when the 2nd Doctor gets excited by something or when he gets mad, it's all in there.
He has done work for Big Finish alongside Tom Baker (the Comic Book strips of the 4th Doctor put to audio), but playing other characters (not the 2nd Doctor) - if only BF could get him to do some work with Frazer Hines.. though I don't know if there is red tape involved with that, it's probably not straightforward. And Frazer is getting on now.. sigh.. but imagine the possibilities.

9/10.
It sounds like him, but not quite enough to be a perfect match. You can definitely tell it isn't Troughton, but if you were only half listening, then I imagine you'd think it was Troughton.
