RIP Jon Pertwee (July 7, 1919 - May 20, 1996), aged 76
You will be remembered as a legend.
John’s son Sean Pertwee in an interview once spoke highly of his dad saying he was a very kind and affectionate man who always loved and hugged his kids , it really melted my heart 💓
Fun Fact: he had an audition to be Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but he couldn’t since during that time he was still the Doctor. This man could’ve been Willy Wonka.
*”Come with me, and you’ll be, in world of scientific safety violations!”*
He actually worked with Ian Fleming who worked with Roald Dahl in the second world war
I'm sure there's an alternate universe where Mr Pertwee played Willy Wonka. And another in which he played Charlie's grandfather.
Maybe if you reverse the polarity of the neutron flow of the movie, you’ll get pertwee wonka!
Gene Wilder was just as great but I wish Jon was the candy man
@@emperortrevornorton3119 well at least Gene was more charming then the weird and depressing Johnny Depp.
Such a shame we lost him. I like to imagine him in heaven, at a table with William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton. They have reunions every Novermber 23rd, John Hurt also goes, it's great.
And Nicolas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen 😊❤️
@@TigerLily12345 basically all Doctor Who alumni have an automatic place there in my view
Not me. He died at a ripe old age, yet before he'd become feeble. He'd be 103 today. I'd rather not have seen his decay.
Best hair in Britain!
@@dashfatbastard I was thinking the same thing. At least he was still physically fit and we didn’t have to watch him become wheelchair bound or decay.
Jon served in the Royal Navy during the war and was serving on a ship when he was nominated for Officer training. As a result he left that ship. That ship was HMS Hood, A fortunate twist of fate not only for him but for us as we nearly did not get to enjoy him. Rest In Peace Jon.
For those who don’t know, the HMS _Hood_ was sunk by the German battleship Bismarck. Only 3 men survived the sinking.
Absolutely right!!! He went for an exam with a Royal Naval Board. It was French and he deliberately failed it. He probably thought he was going to be dropped into France. The reply from the Naval officer at the time was "You bloody fool, you could have been our man in Tahiti!"
He worked with Ian Fleming in the war, too, in the secret service
@@SamuelBlack84 And he was one of Fleming's inspirations, probably the main one, for James Bond
@@elgoog-the-third I can see the resemblance
He's like an older, British Robin Williams.
YES! Never thought of him that way before, but by golly gosh sardines on toast and bumfluff, that's exactly right :D
Yes your right!.
[Tenth Doctor: OH YES!]
I never would've thought of him like that. :O
Omg!! Yes!! Love them both so much!! R.I.P to Jon and Robin!!
That was EXACTLY the impression I had formed within about the first two minutes of this video, "Very Robin Williams type character." Musta been a laugh riot to work with!
Hell of a guy, and a damn good actor. His son Sean inherited at least some of his acting skills, so Jon's legacy will live on through him.
+Sparrow9612 I wonder what it's like to have parents who are so talented and popular? Sean's got a lot of guts to enter the same profession as his dad. (For the record, I think Sean is brilliant!)
The Pertwees were and are a theatrical family.
I keep hoping someday Sean will play his father's old role on one of those multiple-regeneration Doctor Who adventures.
..probably for certain the next doctor will be a black man (or woman ) ...shame they keep destroying the great Legacy of our beloved programmes !
@@krishnan-resurrection714 Well, time will tell. Don't forget some of the most basic facts and traits about the Doctor were once absurd blasphemous against the legacy of William Hartnell. I blame the approach of the new production crew for all the foolishness, rather than the actual casting of Whitaker.
You know how people always ask if you could have anyone you want around for a dinner party, who would it be. I think Pertwee would be one of them. He such a funny interesting bloke.
Yep, totally agree
You would have to invite Tom Baker. Baker and Pertwee. It might be a bit surreal in parts but great fun
Don't forget Roger Delgado I bet he'd be bending the spoons :)
I saw Sylvester McCoy and Jon Pertwee doing the round of telly talk shows for the 25th anniversary. Both of them had me roaring with laughter, like a British version of Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters. Later I found out they'd both done music hall (UK equivalent of vaudeville) in their early days. Their timing was impeccable
I would invite Jon Pertwee, Elisabeth Sladen, Nicolas Courtney and Katy Manning
As kid, I met Jon Pertwee at a Doctor Who convention and he was simplu Awesome! He was so very dreamy, kind and funny
I really wish I'd had an opportunity to meet this dandyish fellow. He seems like such a nice bloke.
***** Lucky you, what was he like?
***** Hahahaha, I really wish I could've met him though :(
***** And then we'll all laugh, no doubt!
Sabrina Kitty I know.
I met him in the late 80's. Incredibly nice, funny, and gracious to the fans.
What a talented and naturally funny man he was, and sadly missed. I had the good fortune to meet him twice in his Worzle Gummidge guise, with my little boy who hero worshipped him. Once at Shrewsbury Flower show where my 2 year old son asked 'Where's Turnip Head?' and Worzle replied 'Oh, he's gone up to the great compost heap in the sky!' Then we saw him again as Worzle, at the Liverpool Garden Festival. After some photos together - I joined him for a cup of tea and asked when the next series is due. He said 'That's what I want to know!'.. he then stated that there were talks of it being done in New Zealand, but he seemed very unhappy about it at that time. I was so lucky to have met him and talked with him. I have always been a fan of his work, and stopped watching Dr Who when he finished his turn at the role. God bless you Jon xx
A real fan would know it is spelled Worzel!
Working in a Hotel near the Humber Bridge early 80's and Jon Pertwee (who was really tall) came in dressed as Worzel Gummidge. He heard there was a Wedding going on in and went down and into the gathering making everyone's day by doing 'Worzel.'
I'd met a few famous faces in Catering, but none as pleasant to meet as Jon Pertwee, who made a lot of people happy that day and added something special to a Wedding Party. He seemed to be a genuine Gent.
memories aaah ,,,and the recent python death ,makes you feel the best are going
His son, Sean Pertwee is Alfred Pennyworth in Gotham Tv Series.
Jon Pertwee, a great man who I would've loved to meet, that I will never meet :(
Get yerself a TARDIS, mate! Problem solved (if the helmic regulator is online...)
You never know. The universe may hold surprises still.
What a lovely man He was my Dr Who and my kids loved watching him in Worzel Gummage.He had a beautiful speaking voice Rest in Peace Jon ❤
To be fair, hovercraft are harder to steer than a shopping trolley with a dodgy wheel
Haha! Lol
I could listen to Jon Pertwee talk all day. He seemed like such a charming, entertaining and witty person :)
Love an old bloke who can tell a life story with style.
its such a shame that Dr who will be a 25 year old black man next .. . .
@@krishnan-resurrection714not really?
@@JoshLStuff have a look ....what garbage it is . .. Dr who ended at sylvester mccoy ..
An absolute legend. In WW2 he was spy who worked with Ian Fleming and reported to Churchill. My favourite Doctor. Sadly missed.
Ironically his Doctor meets Churchill in a Big Finish story.
I met him in Birmingham city centre in 1994 . Great man it was an absolute honour. RIP jon
He was hysterical! His voices, his stories... I must go watch more interviews with him!
The legendary Jon Pertwee... what a gent!
What a classy man he was.
I saw an interview, in which he said that he knew that adults watched Wurzel Gummidge, even if they wouldn't admit it. Haha!
Such a lovely man. Jon was truly talented and THE Doctor.
"Jan Putrid" Hilarious.
HEY JAN!
xD
***** I paid no attention cause my name isn't Jan
I nearly hit my head laughing XD
XD
0_0
This is why he's the best Doctor. Period.
wtf? did Tom Baker refuse an autograph or something?
Of the classic doctor who quite possibly. As far as the show as a whole goes, in my opinion he's joint with Capaldi
@@2thpic Not everyone wets themselves over Tom Baker you know. Jon Pertwee was far better and Patrick Troughton was the best.
Delboy359 my excact thought too, Jon will forever be my fave of Classic era BUT Pat will always the greatest of them all!
He's my favourite
0:41 "where do you think you're going you Bleeding Git" -Jon Pertwee
XDD
I always thought Jon and the Third Doctor were pretty interchangeable but on the evidence here I could never see real life Jon getting the grumps like his Doctor did.
He's a character actor, right up there with the likes of Peter Sellers and Ronnie Barker.
If I remember the story correctly, at one point, Jon Pertwee worked for the British government in the "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" as a secret agent. Badass? Yes. It gets better; one of his coworkers, I believe his quartermaster, was Ian Fleming, who went on to write the James Bond novels. Jon Pertwee could easily have literally been James Bond.
Served on HMS Hood, was one of the group selected to be offficer candidates who left ship the day before she sailed to meet the Bismarck.....
I think Christopher Lee was one as well!
Dzvfars Fdszvfvf you mean the Naval Intelligence Division, not SOE.
He worked in navel intelligence with David Jacobs has his assistant . Pertwee claimed that because 90% of the people in London during the war were in some kind of uniform everybody got uniform blind . To prove his point Pertwee and Jacobs got hold of German army uniforms of high ranking officers and they goose stepped up oxford street Nazi style . No one batted an eye , no one stopped or challenged them and some soldiers saluted them . You can’t make it up .
Even Roald Dahl worked with Fleming
Jon Pertwee was a great actor on the BBC and we are sure going to miss the true Third Doctor
He was one of the most talented actors of his day....or any other day!!!! 👏👏👏 Rest in peace, Mr Pertwee. ❤️
Wow!!!! The whole UK loves this fabulous man. God bless him. ❤
A cup of tea and a slice of cake: best line ever.
e wur arewur dip
Absolute Genius and certainly without doubt a legend.
Homer Bojangles i loved him as a child even had his record watched all his tv shows an interviews he had a way to put a smile on your face even if u were sad unhappy he could make you laugh without a doubt. We mustn't forgot aunt sally who wurzel was in love with "tea an a slice of cake" Sean is very distinguished as Alfred in Gotham real life very gentile sweet natured person he makes his father proud I'm sure if he was still alive. But i guess his family are just as proud too! Very good Actor. Those are my thoughts anyway. Keep up the good work! hope to see you in something just as great as your playing now you rock. X
Joan Collins pouting away and not happy she isn’t in the limelight.
John outclassed her. He had far more charisma and charm and it looks as though she realised it. .
A Gentleman in the truest sense of the word and THE best Dr Who by far!!
ikr
I prefer Sylvester Mccoy
Never mind
I think Tom will always be the definitive Dr Who but Petwee's adventures were the best especially during the Katy Manning period.
@Richard Johnson I was never a Tom Baker fan Richard, he seems to have turned into Harpo Marx!
Happy birthday you legend! 100 years ago today, you would be born to make more funny and more awesome!
My Doctor when I was a kid, didn't realise until now what a charming and witty man he was. Don't make em like that anymore.
..they sure do not ...the last 3 or 4 doctors have been absolutely pathetic . . .R I P Perters ...and the show itself .. . .
Damn shame that is, too.
I met him on a couple of occasions. He was always charming
He was such a great guy I wish I could of met him
could HAVE* met him.
+The Monster Grinder typo tosser..lol
The Monster Grinder whatever
Hmmm a literal grammar Nazi!
These old-time actors/performers were great fun - did not take themselves too seriously - good company
love from Africa i use to watch on tv when I was a kid, love so much all feel for him when aunt sally is illtreating him may God bless his soul.
Ever heard he got the Who-Mobile fully taxed and road worthy? He loved his motor vehicles.
Especially motorcycles.
I loved him, still do he's a one off 😊❤
He does a good American accent, but I was shocked at his swearing.
Charming and the epitome of Classy...What a true gentleman. A beautiful man.
IMO Jon Pertwee has to be one of the best comedians in history
My first favorite doctor.
he seems to emanate genuine niceness.
Old Worzel got his Jon Pertwee head on !!
Andrew Dexter Not exactly his handsome head. Awesome character, thanks Jon.
Born in 66. John was my childhood TV. An amazing person.
He was born in 66? Or are you thinking of when the heartnell/troughton regeneration?
Kyle Lee I believe he/she means that he/she was born in 1966.
If he/ she is American, Doctor a Who was shown in some public television markets in the early '70s.
Doctor who wasn't seen in the US until 1974, carried by PBS stations. Why so many apply their idea who was the first doctor was the one they'd seen more of, Tom Baker.
Jon…. Not JoHn
Sean is the spitting image of his father and he's done well with his own acomplishments
His son Sean is a great actor and has his dads amazing voice talent.I think he would of made a fantastic gritty Doctor Who.Maybe he will in the future.
Fingers crossed for that
a1karaoke He's Alfred Pennyworth in Gotham - he looks so much like his dad.
a1karaoke sad to say this, but Mr. Sean Pertwee stated he would rather stay away from doctor who, or something to that effect.
a1karaoke If they look very much alike, it would be so much fun to recast him as Three! I’d love to see a crossover with some of the classic doctors.
Simply a great actor and a true gentleman.
Truly missed
Did anyone else notice how much like Patrick Troughton he looks in the final clip with Wogan? I remember reading his autobiography over 30 years ago "Moon Boots and Dinner Suits" which was very interesting ...... we remember him now as the 3rd Doctor Who but his background was fascinating .... he was a regular stand up comedian at one point which is totally forgotten now. During the war I believe he was part of the crew of the battleship HMS Hood but, being under 18, was amongst those taken off on the orders of its Captain before it went looking for the German cruiser Bismark. On that mission the Hood went down with the loss of almost the entire crew.
Sorry don't see the resemblance myself. Yes he was on the Hood, but was transferred days before it went down to the navy broadcasting service. I've a copy of his one-man show I'm always telling myself I'll put up. He tells the story in that.
In Spearhead From Space, the Doctor takes off his clothes and impersonates a UNIT employee taking a shower. He was built! I could also see the Royal Navy tattoo on his arm.
Yes. For me he projected a slightly effete almost .... delicate, bookish persona but the reality of the man was very, very different as witnessed by his background, character and physical build which he maintained (he must've been a real bruiser while in the RN)
My late husband liked the third Doctor best. I said, " that was a different turn, for someone who was primarily a comedian!" He was in Dad's Army, too.
i did notice that, i thought the same thing..... wibbly wobbly timey wimey
yeah, hes a star, and seeing Sean continuing his legacy brings me tears of joy
7:18 - 7:29 Just. WHAT? xD!! Can't stop laughing!
4:57 - Ooh, Worzels turned up to the interview! xD 13:56 - That story was hilarious!!
When Jon did a Radio show called The Navy Lark. He played various characters as well as CPO Pertwee. However that one was Commander Weatherby. Who was in security as he could not tell anyone a secret.
Which is funny because he was actually IN the Navy and almost ended up tussling with the Bismarck
xD
Great story teller very much like David Niven
Bloody best doctor of all time. 😊💗
I love this guy, it is hard to dislike Mr Pertwee
I was fortunate enough to see Jon Pertwee a number of times at conventions in the 80s. He was a fabulous storyteller as well as being charming to fans even at the signing tables later. He would pull out the voices and characters to the delight of all. I miss seeing his interviews; he always had a great time.
Memories of listening to The Navy Lark on the radio as a kid and being in stitches laughing, very funny guy but also a great actor.
THIS IS GOLD
Rest in peace, Jon 💕
Big motorcyclist, loved his BMW’s 👌🏻😎
I love Jon pertwee. He is fantastic
One of the legends ❤
Proper celebrities, those days are gone.
They weren't celebrities back in the day, they were stars
@@SamuelBlack84
True
So engaging...... Holds Your attention.
Watching this makes me realise that Jon wasn't acting in Dr Who but just being himself.
Have you seen the series called whodunnit? He was a panelist, then later host on that show.
@@newstarcadefan It rings a distant bell `i must say I'll check out youtube!
he was my fav. Dr Who . my time ...:) Hes just like Michael Caine ...always has so many interesting stories to tell and v funny on top of it
There's only ONE Doctor....and this was he!
When I die and go to Heaven, after my parents and grandparents I want to meet Jon Pertwee and thank him for all the decades of joy and laughter he gave me and the world.
I had a vinyl album called “children’s favourites” from about the age of 4 (1973) with 1/3rd of the track’s sung by Jon Pertwee. Amazing stuff and stayed in my memory to this day. At 21 years old I performed my tribute to him on the M/S Jubilee Cruise ship, doing “three little fishes” song fro. that album, for the passengers on the “crew talent show” night. My first attempt at comedy. I’ve no idea how well or poorly that went down with the audience, but Pertwee inspired it and will always have a special place in my memories.
It sounds like a wonderful tribute to him ☺️👍
I would have loved to meet him. Such a brilliant person.
Seen Jon do the Dr Who show in Glasgow... Would love to have met him... favourite memories are of him driving off in "Bessie" in the "Green Death"... I was distressed, and my Mum told me that he was going on holiday (we were just leaving to go for our holiday)... Thanks again Mum, cos this cheered me up no end
i hope that if doctor who has another episode that features the third doctor that Sean Pertwee will step into his father's shoes.
He always said if his dad saw him dressed up as his Doctor he would have laughed his head off😄
My personal favourite as Dr Who, with Tom Baker a close second. Very amusing chap and full of energy!
Born 100 years ago today...
Very talented man . Not forgotten .
He was a very underrated serious actor..I would seen him in a big movie production..he was leading material
My 2nd favorite doctor. But worzel Gummidge was brilliant two iconic children's programs. Sadly missed.
I like to imagine an alternate universe in which Jon Pertwee replaced Mel Blanc upon his death and took on all the Looney Tunes voices.
His range of accents and pronunciation speed is insane. No wonder he was such a perfect choice for The Doctor.
Brilliantly Funny !
So talented and So truly missed. A true legend and a wonderful gentleman.
Jon Pertwee came to NZ once and gave a talk at the university... a really nice guy 👍🇳🇿
Always loved Jon Pertwee. He had such a great character. Great sense of humour. Always a pleasure to listen to.
I had the pleasure of seeing this gent live on a Dr Who Live showing when I was around 6. I can remember it very vividly even now
Great man enough said
Such a lovely lovely man. Roared with laughter with the Navy Lark in my childhood, listening to that stammer. Finally met him in the Last Navy Lark in 1977. That was the queens silver jubilee episode. Leslie Phillips, Michael Bates, very unwell at that point. Michael was in the first series of It aint half hot mum.
It was also a shocking story about his war time experiences and his near miss as a member of the crew of the HMS Hood which was sunk by the Germans losing all hands.I think he was in hospital at the time, or on shore for some other reason. There are a number of clues to his Naval links throughout the Dr. Who stories. Not to mention his links to the 'Navy Lark'.
Jon pertwee is a wonderful man and a great actor
Absolutely fantastic man!
come on bbc,,,, sean pertwee as dr who ,,,less miranda and ice dancin
Jon Pertwee was one of Britain's best actors and is sadly missed
I watched wurzul gumage loved him CHANGE his heads aunt Sally una Stubbs my favorite TV programe when I was young sweet beautiful memories bless you John 🥰
Fabulous stuff I always loved him when I was a kid 😀👍
Years ago Jon Pertwee did a side-splittingly hilarious BBC Radio 4 programme. I forget the name of the series. It was one where famous people chose readings and told anecdotes. One of his funniest was about an old lady who stopped him on the street and said she recognised him as someone famous. When he tried to tell her who he was she kept stopping him, saying that she would remember. Who did she think he was? Answer: Dame May Whitty!
O cara era o carisma em pessoa, véi, que cara engraçado, eu nunca ia pensar que o John era tão carismático, nossa que merda de época eu tive que nascer, queria ter tido a oportunidade de ver esse homem pessoalmente.
Bless him a true National Treasure!
Thanks for posting Stephen,a lot of people don't know how funny he was.
