John Devon Roland Pertwee (July 7, 1919 – May 20, 1996), better known as Jo… Read Full Bio ↴John Devon Roland Pertwee (July 7, 1919 – May 20, 1996), better known as Jon Pertwee, was an English actor.

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. He also hosted the murder mystery quiz programme Whodunnit! between 1974 and 1978 for Thames Television. Pertwee also voiced the character of "Spotty" in the 1980s cartoon series SuperTed.

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.

Hi Jason. As far as I'm aware there are 5 things that haven't been included on the blueray sets that I don't see getting put onto other sets.

The Spanish soundtrack for episode 6 of The Web Plant (The Centre) wasn't included on the season two blue-ray

The guy that has the film trims for logopolis offered them to be put on season 18 but only a few brief clips were used (in the making of documentary for logopolis). The film trims are available to watch on YouTube.

I have two trailers for The Time Meddler repeat that wasn't included on the season 2 set.

Finally I also have a Tom Baker interview filmed at pebble Mill from around 1992. In the interview he talks about his life and the upcoming vhs release of shada. In the interview he also says he way very fond of the Germans for bombing Liverpool 😂.

I offered to lend my tapes to the BBC and the restoration team but they wasn't interested so apart from a Facebook upload and a video on YouTube. My Doctor Who stuff isn't publicly available to watch. I do plan on getting the rest of my tapes transferred when I can actually afford to send them off. When I have had the transferred all the interesting bits of footage will be uploaded to my YouTube channel.

Firstly, love the idea of the Peladon video. Have wondered where you've been, and on your metal channel! As for this set, excited to get it when the Australian version comes out. A stellar season. I think that box you pointed out in the TARDIS picture was Delgado's, properly disguised to its surroundings which from memory was a reel to reel computer room. My favourite here has always been Day of the Daleks, and I really enjoy the special edition with added Dalek army and Briggs revoicing the staccato Dalek voices from the original.

I watched this whole season myself recently (on DVD, though this set does look amazing) Curse of Peladon is definitely my favourite, with The Sea Devils a close second.

My favourite story is day of the daleks which was of the first DR Who stories to get a VHS release after Baker Cyberman story and Troughton Ice warrior story. I have these VHS editions (and a couple of Laser discs too).

The collection series is great but they do take up a lot of shelf space but hey ho still great. Wonder what next one will be - probably Davison season - but all are welcome…. Another great unboxing.

@barneyhall8325

Really can't wait for this set Jason there's sokne golden stuff in their. As well as two 6s that would of made much better 4's. If you havnt seen day of the Daleks in a while I'd highly recommend watching the special edition it's a really good attempt to fill in some gaps and goes way beyond just jazzing up the effects. They even filmed some new sequences using old BBC cameras and tape stock so as to match the screen grain and colour of the original footage.
It's interesting you mentioned the tardis interior looks like China bowls. It's not too different to what Barry let's has always compared them too washing up bowls. It was a new tardis interior commissioned for the time monster at great cost but apparently was both hard to assemble and work in as well as Barry let's disliking it so this story is the only appearance of it.
The diversity documentary you mentioned on the Mutants isn't mention on the back because it isn't new it was on the original DVD, and I have to say it's really good. I can see why you may of thought it's a more recent inclusion but thankfully it harks from the era where a diversity documentary is just a really interesting discussion and eye opening of what has been rather than desperate virtue signaling and revisioning that you see in a lot of explorations of this type today.

The Mutants is one of my favorite stories for the 3rd doctor because it is the one time Baker and Martin wrote something with a very strong political implications.

There is a prominent Afro-British actor, whose name is Cotten...The docs' does cover other British television, besides Who, and the merit of character actors who unlike a few stories (Crusade, Weng-Chiang) have positive ethnic representation (Tenth Planet, astronaut! etc) Noel C' from the modern series ,narrates -before some sexual misbehavior took him out of the running, like with John B'.

My favourite stories here are Curse Of Peladon with The Mutants being a close second. I don't know why The Mutants receives such harsh criticism. I would recommend you watch it.

I completely understand what you mean when you say it's nice to have an unwatched Doctor Who story up your sleeve. I would recommend you keep The Time Monster for this purpose. Without a shadow of a doubt this is the worst Pertwee story. It is also in my list of top 5 worst stories from any Doctor. I have nothing but scorn to heap upon it. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The fake slowmo running is pathetic, the TARDIS control room is horrendous and Benton's appearance at the end of the final episode is embarrassing.

However having said all that you will probably dislike The Mutants and really enjoy The Time Monster. I find it's usually the case that I dislike things people recommend and love the things others dislike. Not just with Doctor Who stories, with everything. But you're maybe not afflicted with my condition of being extremely contrary.
