Happy Birthday to the man that I fell in love with and to Quote him "Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway." Love you my beautiful Doctor.
I know everyone loves Tom Baker but I personally always had a soft spot for Jon Pertwee. His Doctor was suave, smart, intelligent, and badass all rolled into one great man. The perfect blend of old and new which is also the reason why I loved Peter Capaldi so much. Happy Birthday, Jon.
"Everyone"... Definitely not me. Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton are and always will be my favourite Classic Doctors. For some reason I started remembering Jon Pertwee yesterday and ended up watching a bunch of his DW episodes. I was startled to find out it's apparently his birthday today.
As well as the chemistry between Pertwee and Roger Delgado or Pertwee and Katy Manning. You can actually see that those people enjoyed their time together.
Sean's comment " He'll be sorely missed and I love him ". Jon was my first Doctor and I still love him. He is the reason I still love Doctor Who today. My Wife was also a fan of Doctor Who and her 1st Doctor was Jon Pertwee. Her favourite companion was Jo Grant. Jon loved working with Katy Manning who is still loved by older fans today. I always love hearing Katy's stories about working with Jon, Nicholas, John, Richard, and Roger. They were a family to each other.
@danieldinsdale3248 The great thing about DVD and Blu Ray is you can relive the classic seasons from 63 to 89. 26 glorious years when Doctor Who was Doctor Who. Season 7 is coming out soon. It was the first season I watched as a child. Can't wait to see them again.
@@garygcrook During his exile, 21% of his adventures took place on other planets. the ninth and tenth doctors were on other planets for 23% of their adventures.
@@rr-blue-sky I love that statistic because when the series was rebooted we were told that we'd be taken all over the universe. Then the production team worked out the budget for that and we were told "You know what, people love the series best when the Doctor is here on Earth with us...."
Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor and came into my life just as my mom divorced my dad. It was a time where I needed a good, honest, male influence to look up to. Jon Pertwee was that man for me. I was so glad for him in my life. I wished I could have met him.
Sean is a fantastic actor, but it's really wonderful to hear him talk about his father, and that he still knows about the Doctor Who props. He must be asked about playing the Doctor all the time. I do wish he'd play him just once, briefly.
That or a Draconian alien like the ones from the 3rd Doctor Serial 'Frontier in Space' (The Draconians were Jon Pertwee's favourite Aliens in the show).
I got to know Sean when I was body doubling for the character Bullock on Gotham. Sean dressing up as his father was our first ever conversation and the best ice breaker I could have asked for.
First time I saw that image I genuinely thought it was Jon. It took me a moment to figure out why someone had photoshopped the Third Doctor into Bruce Wayne's sitting room.
Happy 100th Birthday sir! ❤️ You are my Doctor and I am so happy that Peter Capaldi was inspired by you and got his clothing and hair to resemble yours. You are British icon and to me the best Doctor. You are the Third Doctor and you continued Doctor Who in the most crucial times for it to continue. And we could only see your Doctor on Earth on exile, but it was still the best I could see. I have watched and re-watched your episodes like 100 times over and over again, but I never grow bored. And I am not even British, just Finnish. And that shows just how brilliant you are. Thank you ❤️
Jon Pertwee was, and always will be, my Doctor. He looked and sounded, and in fact was, completely and utterly amazing! Still much missed. Long live King Jon!
The Third Doctor is one of my favourite Doctors thanks to Jon Pertwees amazing performances in the role, the stories are well written & acted which gave the Pertwee era a sense of realism. Not only that but he promoted the series post cancellation & was the highlight at conventions, I met him once & I explained how watching Third Doctor stories helped me get through a turbulent time with my battle with depression, he took me to one side & spoke to me for 10 minutes & asked how I was doing which I thought was awesome. We'll never forget Jon because he has left a huge legacy on tv and film that we can watch & enjoy, it's such a shame he never got to record with Big Finish but I find the recent audios with Tim Treloar to be a fitting tribute to one of England's greatest showman. And Sean Pertwee in Gotham as Alfred is brilliant.
@@ljllob4740 Wonderful man, so charming & friendly, he was genuinely moved by my comments then asked me how I was doing now, not many actors would do that.
Jon Pertwee is a TOWERING British icon, no question. He's the first Dr Who I remember as a child, and as excellent as Tom Baker undoubtedly was. Jon Pertwee's easy elegance and powerful charisma make him the ultimate Dr Who in my eyes.
I met Jon Pertwee many years ago, shook his hand and got his autograph. I know he'd be proud of his legacy, and that his son is a well-known actor who didn't have to rely on his famous father's name. Happy 100th to him.
Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor that I watched growing up. I was born in August 1962 and I was 8. I have watched Doctor Who ever since and still love it. I'm now 61 years old. When I had Doctor who on video my daughter would ask if she could borrow them to watch. I'm proud of the fact that she has enjoyed watching them as well.
Gone but never forgotten, An icon of Doctor Who and much more, he brought so much charm to the role and showed a great love for the show long after he’d left. We love you Jon and always will
As an American born in the late 1970s, typically you would think Tom Baker would've been MY Doctor. As it were, thanks to PBS in the mid 1980s, Jon Pertwee was the Doctor, and his episodes were my first exposure to the program. I have been hooked ever since. Thanks, Jon Pertwee, for everything, and Happy Birthday 😁
Happy Birthday Jon Pertwee. What a wonderful Dr. So nice to see Sean talk about his dad. Loved Sean on Gotham. We do miss you Jon. One of a kind. Cheers
Many years ago I met John at a gathering held by the local PBS station when the Sylvester McCoy was introduced to America. He asked what my favorite parts of Doctor who were and I told him Bessie and The Who Mobile. He went on for 20 minutes telling me all about creating them. It was wonderful. He really was a gentleman and a showman.
I had the pleasure of bumping into Jon as he was preparing to be interviewed in '94 or '95. He was gracious and charming and I felt honoured to have a moment of his time. I most loved him as Worzel Gummage. (That was such a wonderful series if you were a child of the 70's/80's.). Thanks for making this short tribute.
Well wishes from the USA here. I remember watching PBS as a child in America the episode where Joe leaves, and Jon Pertwee's acting was so moving to me. I remember finding out about his passing soon thereafter and that episode has always stuck with me. My favorite episodes of Dr. Who are the Daemons and the Three Doctors and it is because of Mr. Pertwee. This was such a moving tribute to an incredible man.
He was the first doctor that I watched and will always be my favorite. Yes the new shows are more flashy. But what your father did inspired many people ! That is a great legacy.
My first Doctor and one of my clear favourites. I had the great honour of meeting this legend and shaking his hand when I was a young child. A true legend and icon
Jon Pertwee is the only Doctor to this day that I've ever met. Very commanding presence he had and you could tell that he loved his time being the Doctor and that he loved his fans. I met him the one time in 1987. He was dressed in Character if I remember it right.
He will always be my Doctor. He was the kindest man in the world, and so loving to the fans... and had a gentle sweet sense of humor. God Bless you Jon, wherever you are.
What a lovely and very touching video. I love the Third Doctor, and the much missed Legend, and very wonderful Jon Pertwee. His son Sean saying about the Whomobile, was pure bliss. Also Postie has just delivered my Season 10 The Collection box set. Just opening and getting ready to spend my Sunday enjoying it's delights.
Jon Pertwee is the only doctor, nobody else comes close in my eyes , he introduced so much to the character, and his earth bound stories were magnificent ,Sean's comments are much appreciated, what an outstanding and treasured actor.
@@primastico6950 i understand why your saying that chole but he never mentioned the word idiot or anything relating to the top commnet being a idiot. He was just giving his opinion . Sorry Chole if i offended you
Michael McGrath Series 11 wasn’t as good as a lot of series but there were far worse series in Classic Who, series 24, series 2 and 7 of new Who were pretty similar. And a few others
3rd Doctor is my favorite Doctor. Jon Pertwee is like the reference Doctor for me. And, oh, Bassie, I really fond of that yellow old style car! I want to see her in the new series! And 1st Master (first of those we seen) was brilliant! I love 3rd Doctor and everything related to him.
Jon Pertwee was a class act. In the tradition of the Gentlemen Adventurers, (Patrick Macnee, Roger Moore, and Robert Vaughan etc) he was erudite, stylish and utterly fearless. I stopped watching DW after Jon left the series, and only got back into it when David Tennant stepped into the role. I had forgotten how good he was at being the 3rd Doctor. He would have made a fine Sherlock Holmes. His interaction with Lethebridge-Stewart is classic Holmes/Watson. The glowing tributes to Jon say it all. A true one-off.
Recently got Britbox so I was finally able to watch all of the Third Doctor serials and I really have a better appreciation for him. He's definitely in my top 5 favorite Doctors now.
I remember going to Bradford & Bingley to open up a child's account with my dad, you'd get your picture taken with Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge if you did, we were next in line and some father and his son barged in front of us, well Mr Pertwee told them to go to the back of the line as we were next, we sat down for a picture that my folks still have and a memory of a lifetime was made. What a true gent.
Jon will Allays be my "Doctor Who" I was an exited, yet scarred five year old in 1970 ... when he ended in 1974 I was devastated. On bomfire night in 1976 I noticed he was the nutty professor in Carry On Screaming ... that was the first time I noticed him before he was The Doctor. We all remember him as Worzel Gummidge, he was in the Navy Lark in the 1960s ... and when done That Reminds me (His life work experiences) on radio four, he was brilliant ... I'm not surprised Sean is proud of his Great Dad !.
Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor. You never forget your first.I also had the pleasure to meet him in 1990. He was the total entertainer. Happy Birthday Jon!

Yes, a great quote many of us can identify with

I don’t care what Sean Pertwee says, he’d be PERFECT in his father’s role as the 3rd Doctor.
I know everyone loves Tom Baker but I personally always had a soft spot for Jon Pertwee. His Doctor was suave, smart, intelligent, and badass all rolled into one great man. The perfect blend of old and new which is also the reason why I loved Peter Capaldi so much. Happy Birthday, Jon.
Nailed it!
Well said!

Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton are and always will be my favourite Classic Doctors.
For some reason I started remembering Jon Pertwee yesterday and ended up watching a bunch of his DW episodes. I was startled to find out it's apparently his birthday today.
@Andrewshadowy He was born in 7 July, 1919, which would make this his 100th birthday.
Here I thought I was the only one who thought Pertwee was a badass,suave,smart, intelligent , handsome...oh, you didn't say handsome!😄!
The chemistry between Pertwee and Nicholas Courtney was awesome.
As well as the chemistry between Pertwee and Roger Delgado or Pertwee and Katy Manning. You can actually see that those people enjoyed their time together.
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.
I would totally enjoy this too.
I was about to say that. Sean for the Third Doctor!
Yes, I would say he'd look the apart for the third doctor.
@@MichaelM28 as the son of the original i doubt Sean Pertwee would allow that to happen.
It would have to be a good script, that was true to the character.
Many years after his death and a century after his birth, Jon Pertwee is still alive in the hearts of Doctor Who fans
and he will be forever
Sean sounds so much like his dad.
Put a curly wig on his head and he also looks the same.
Sean would have done a great Doctor in memory of his Dad.
You know Like Father Like Son.
He looks just exactly like him when you look at him. The same extinct image.
*Courage isn’t a matter of not being frightened, you know. It’s being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.*
Sean's comment " He'll be sorely missed and I love him ". Jon was my first Doctor and I still love him. He is the reason I still love Doctor Who today.

Well except for the times he went to Metabilis III.

He cared so much that a year before his dead, he participated in a fan-production and that is what makes "Devious'' so special.

Sean Pertwee is the Doctor Who we need.
The resemblance is so striking.
Jon Pertwee's doctor was a mixture of Sherlock Holmes, Bruce Lee and James Bond. He had great charisma.
Fantastic interview and I've always followed Sean's career because I loved his dad so much. I'm 55 so Mr Pertwee will always be "my Doctor".
That was just great.
Bless you Sean - your Dad's great
1919 - 2019 Legend
You can tell how much Sean Pertwee misses his dad :( It would be amazing if Sean were to pick up his fathers baton and became the doctor one day

Spot on there
Just remember, you can do anything if you can reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. 😊❤
@Cheryl Wilson, exactly! Lol.
I lived in England as a kid from 70 to 74. Jon Pertwee is the reason I still love watching Doctor Who. He will always be "my Doctor".💚
Unquestionably my favourite Doctor and I'm glad to see he's still remembered
Great don't forget him as Worzel Gummidge: brilliant as both characters both from child hood and greatly missed
Jon Pertwee is quoted as saying Worzel was his favourite part - more than Doctor Who. Maybe because it was his role.
Was lucky enough to have met the great man. One of the kindest men I’ve met who always had time for the fans.
Alfred Pennyworths Father being Doctor Who makes so much sense.
Sean has Jon’s smile, amazingly similar.
He was the first doctor that I watched and will always be my favorite. Yes the new shows are more flashy. But what your father did inspired many people ! That is a great legacy.
He was an amazing Doctor, in fact my favourite classic Doctor!
Jon Pertwee, LEGEND
Be a great 007
That was so beautiful....... If we ever see the 3rd Doctor again, Sean has to play him. I'm ready. Let's do it!
My first Doctor and one of my clear favourites. I had the great honour of meeting this legend and shaking his hand when I was a young child. A true legend and icon
He was an iconic doctor and a wonderful man.

I first saw Sean Pertwee in "Cadfael." I liked his acting then, I like it now. His father would be proud, I dare say.

I think he would also be incredibly proud of his son and the talented actor he is also!
It's interesting that the 1975 book still has Jon on front (that was Tom's 1st year...only his very 1st episode was in 1974)🎩
Even though he was gone before I was born, Jon Pertwee is absolutely my Doctor ❤️
I met Jon Pertwee here in Australia back in 1991 it's not everyday you meet your childhood hero happy 100th Jon R.I.P.
Jon was the best ever Dr Who, by far. Sean is just lovely
Jon Pertwee is the only doctor, nobody else comes close in my eyes , he introduced so much to the character, and his earth bound stories were magnificent ,Sean's comments are much appreciated, what an outstanding and treasured actor.
He was my favourite Doctor but whether he was yours or not surely nobody can deny he had the best voice..
What a lovely tribute to Jon. Met him several places from conventions to Virgin megastore. And plus met Sean few years ago at Milton Keynes.
