	Pertwee, Jon
		Jon Pertwee is a British comedy character actor credited with an extensive list of stage, screen, radio, and cabaret appearances.
		Pertwee was thus able to draw on his considerable ability to perform his own stunts resulting from his love of skin-diving and water-skiing, along with his habit of driving fast vehicles, to give a harder edge to his interpretation.
		Pertwee's adoption of his grandfather's evening suits as the foundation of the Doctor's garb allowed him to switch among different colored velvet smoking jackets to mark each passing season of episodes.

		Pertwee plays this uncertainy so well and it brings a tear to the eye to think of her upcoming departure is eminent for this very reason.
		Regarding Jon Pertwee and the way he played the Doctor, I remember him saying that when the BBC interviewed him about the role it was suggested that he play it as he had played some of his previous comedic roles.
		It is another tragedy that Jon Pertwee did not live to take part in the Big Finish Audio series as he would no doubt have been eager and would have proved to be popular (as The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space prove).

		Though Pertwee is my favorite Doctor and his era is therefore the one I most fancy (with the Davison one coming next), I have to admit I see where the arguments about the era's formulaic predictability come from.
		Jon Pertwee's tenure as Doctor was one of the most successful and well remembered.
		Pertwee starred in 24 stories in his reign as Doctor and you can pretty much divide them down the middle in terms of the overall quality of storytelling.

		The third Doctor had the arrogance of Hartnell, experience equal to, or greater than Troughton, and an infusion of Jon Pertwee's own personality.

		In addition to being Jon Pertwee's debut as the Third Doctor, Spearhead was also the first DW story in color, opening Season Seven after six years in fl and white only.
		Spearhead from Space was a strong start for the Jon Pertwee era, and for a period running through the Pertwee era into the mid-Tom Baker era which many fans of the classic series recall as the Golden Age of Doctor Who --This text refers to the DVD edition
		This adventure, along with all of Jon Pertwee's adventures as the Doctor stand the tests of time, as it never feels in any way dated or time frame specific, considering it is the 1970's, but you never feel as if it is the 1970's in anyway.

		Jon Pertwee had had many years experience as a radio actor, but had never before played Dr Who on the radio, and had not made a Dr Who story for nine years, when he recorded this 5 part BBC radio serial.
		The sound effects are very good, and the story is not too badly affected by the fact that Jon Pertwee was at this point 18 years older than when he had retired from the television series in the 1970's; but you can tell from his voice that he was now much older.
		Pertwee lifts the production to make it tolerable, and there is a real sense we're back in the good old days of Who.

	Jamie's Runout Groove: MP3: Jon Pertwee - I Am The Doctor
		Jon Pertwee has always been a bit of a legend to me. I've been a nerd regarding many things at various points, but Doctor Who was always one of the big nerdy things I was into (and still am to some extent).
		Although I thought the new series was a big letdown considering the amount of money they spent on it and the calibre of the actor they managed to get for the lead role, I've still got a big nostalgic love for the old series, and the first doctor I saw was Jon Pertwee.
		One thing you may not have realised was that Pertwee released a single called I Am The Doctor in the early 70s.

		Pertwee is obviously undecided about how to play The Doctor and falls back on comedy more than he would do later.

		Pertwee makes some contrived speeches and the Daleks are as dull as usual.

		The result, and feedback, was so heartening that the Tour as a whole has moved to a permanent display format.
		The Doctor presented here is Jon Pertwee, whose flamboyant portrayal of a largely Earth-based Doctor was not only the first of the color-era, but the first exposure for many here in the U.S. in the mid-70's.
		Somewhat under appreciated because of a certain "sameness" of feel that tended to permeate his stories throughout his era, it should not be forgotten was also most be cohesive, with the "family" UNIT intact, not to mention the incomparable Roger Delgado.

		Jon Pertwee had assumed the role, the series had gone color, and it would never be the same again.
		Whereas William Hartnell had created the role as a feisty explorer, and Patrick Troughton succeeded him as a more energetic intergalactic hobo, Pertwee stepped into the role as a professor, a bon vivant, the otherworldly version of James Bond.
		Together with the Doctor, his companion and the UNIT men, they would comprise the largest regular cast in the show's history, centered mostly upon Pertwee's eighth, ninth and tenth seasons.

		Jon Pertwee was in many ways the most popular thing about the show he starred in, but this does not detract from the considerable talents of his supporting cast.
		He was a hero, no question of that, there were no grey areas (until the very end), he was the good guy and that was that.
		I met Jon on a couple of occasions and he was charming and helpful.
