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.
