@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond
next time they do a multi doctor story, i want Sean Pertwee to play the 3rd doctor as a tribute to his father. I'd love to see that.
@guillaumeviel6836
I would totally enjoy this too.
@inspector_beyond
I was about to say that. Sean for the Third Doctor!
@Theskymaster210
Yes, I would say he'd look the apart for the third doctor.
@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond
@@MichaelM28 as the son of the original i doubt Sean Pertwee would allow that to happen.
@leslieshafer6343
It would have to be a good script, that was true to the character.
@ytuser_3122
I don’t care what Sean Pertwee says, he’d be PERFECT in his father’s role as the 3rd Doctor.
@sy2see
Sean sounds so much like his dad.
@Nikioko
Put a curly wig on his head and he also looks the same.
@candoentertainment9118
The chemistry between Pertwee and Nicholas Courtney was awesome.
