Born in Chelsea, London, Pertwee was educated at Frensham Heights School, an independent school in Rowledge, near Farnham in Surrey, and at some other schools from which he was expelled. After school, he went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), from which he was also expelled after he refused to play the small part of a wind in a Greek play.
Pertwee is best known for his roles as CPO Pertwee in the long-running radio comedy The Navy Lark (1959 - 1977), the third incarnation of The Doctor in the science fiction television series Doctor Who (1970 - 1974), and as the title character in the series Worzel Gummidge.

In 1972, he released a vocal version of the Doctor Who theme music entitled "Who is the Doctor", and in 1980 he released a single based on Worzel Gummidge entitled "Worzel's Song" from the album Worzel Gummidge Sings.

Simply marvelous! Wish there were more such gems to listen to.

You can buy the whole series from the BBC online. Christopher Timothy was in the original TV series though the recent BBC remake is very well done as well. Worth watching if you enjoy this narration!

I don't think the audiobook version of All Things Wise And Wonderful has appeared on YT before or if so, the videos are long gone. It's great to have the three audiobooks in clear order and in their entirety. I can listen to them time and time again and they always touch my soul. Thanks for all your hard work, taking the time to freely share these special books.

Agreed, Mr. Harvey, agreed! It's such a lovely gift given to us ... the mellifluous voice reading to us. Telling about the Dales, the work-a-day world of the wise, stoic, penny-pinching & hospitable farmers & their families. Mr.Harriot's tireless efforts to help--
it's all so refreshing, nearly idyllic & evocative of a real goodness that I pray will be seen again.
Bless ,

I am thoroughly enjoying these books. The narration is excellent and makes the various characters feel like people you've actually met. The stories are humorous, heartbreaking, and wholesome. These remind me of the Mitford novels by Jann Karen.
Just really lovely stories.
