John Devon Roland Pertwee
(
;
[1]
7 July 1919 ? 20 May 1996), known professionally as
Jon Pertwee
, was an English actor. Born into a theatrical family, he became nationally known as a comedy actor, playing
Chief Petty Officer
Pertwee (and three other roles) in the
BBC Radio
sitcom
The Navy Lark
(1959?1977) and appearing in four films in the
Carry On
series.
On television, Pertwee starred as the
third incarnation
of
the Doctor
in the long-running British science fiction series
Doctor Who
(1970?1974), hosted the game show
Whodunnit?
(1974?1978) and played the title character in
Worzel Gummidge
(1979?1981 and 1987?1989). Towards the end of his life he maintained a close association with
Doctor Who
by appearing at many
fan conventions
related to the series and giving interviews.
Biography
[
edit
]
Early life and education
[
edit
]
Born in
Chelsea
,
London
, and, having
French Huguenot
ancestry, his surname was an Anglicisation of "Perthuis", the origins of his surname being "de Perthuis de Laillevault", the family being Counts descended from
Charlemagne
.
[2]
[3]
Jon was the son of screenwriter and actor
Roland Pertwee
and distant cousin of actor
Bill Pertwee
.
[4]
Pertwee's mother, Avice Scholtz, separated from his father Roland when Pertwee was young. His father remarried, and his mother found a new partner, Louis Auguste De La Garde, with whom Pertwee did not build a relationship; she died in 1951, leaving Pertwee's elder brother Michael as her executor.
[5]
Avice's sister Daphne married Captain Philip Cecil Clowes
[6]
and became the mother of Pertwee's cousin, the writer
St John Legh Clowes
(1907?1951). Actor
Henry Ainley
, a close friend of his father, was his godfather. Coincidentally, Ainley's son
Anthony
appeared as
the Master
? a renegade Time Lord who was The Doctor's greatest enemy ? alongside Pertwee in the
Doctor Who
anniversary story
The Five Doctors
(1983).
[7]
Pertwee was educated at
Frensham Heights School
, an independent school in
Rowledge
, near
Farnham
in Surrey, at
Sherborne School
in Dorset, and at some other schools from which he was expelled.
[8]
After school, he applied to the
Central School of Speech & Drama
, but was denied admittance because of his lisp.
[9]
He was admitted to the
Royal Academy of Dramatic Art
(RADA), graduating in 1939.
[8]
He was accused of writing graffiti about the tutors on the lavatory walls.
[10]
Early career
[
edit
]
While still at school, Pertwee worked as a circus performer riding the Wall of Death on a motorcycle with a toothless lion in the sidecar. He then worked in
repertory theatre
before being contracted with the
BBC
at 18 as an actor.
[11]
[12]
[7]
During the
Second World War
, Pertwee spent six years in the
Royal Navy
.
[13]
He was a crew member of
HMS
Hood
and was transferred off the ship for officer training shortly before she was sunk by the
German battleship
Bismarck
,
[4]
losing all but three men in May 1941.
Later, he was attached to the top secret
Naval Intelligence Division
,
[4]
working alongside future
James Bond
author
Ian Fleming
, and reporting directly to Prime Minister
Winston Churchill
and Deputy Prime Minister
Clement Attlee
. In an interview conducted in 1994 and published in 2013, he said, "I did all sorts. Teaching commandos how to use escapology equipment, compasses in brass buttons, secret maps in white cotton handkerchiefs, pipes you could smoke that also fired a .22 bullet. All sorts of incredible things."
[14]
In 1942, as a
Sub Lieutenant
, Pertwee was posted to
HMS Valkyrie
.
[15]
Whilst stationed on the
Isle of Man
he was actively engaged in amateur variety shows appearing in character sketches.
[16]
It was during this time that Pertwee became one of the founding members of the Service Players, a drama society which remains active to this day.
[17]
During his time in the Navy, Pertwee woke up one morning after a drunken night out while in port to find a tattoo of a cobra on his right arm.
[18]
After the war, Pertwee worked as a stage comedian, which included performing at the
Glasgow Empire Theatre
and sharing a bill with
Max Wall
and
Jimmy James
.
[19]
He began to work as a comedy actor on radio, becoming known for being able to do a variety of comedic voices and accents.
[20]
He featured
Waterlogged Spa
, alongside
Eric Barker
, and
Puffney Post Office
in which he played a hapless old postman with the catch-phrase "It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you tears them up."
On 15 November 1948, at the Wood Green Empire, he was billed as "The Most Versatile Voice in Radio ? Jon ('Tear 'em Up') Pertwee from the Radio Shows
Merry-go-Round
and
Up the Pole
". From 1959 to 1977, he performed the role of the conniving
Chief Petty Officer
Pertwee in
The Navy Lark
on
BBC Radio
.
[21]
The fictional ship in the series HMS
Troutbridge
almost shared its name with the real HMS
Troubridge
whose commanding officer at one point was a relative of Pertwee's, who wrote to the BBC to provide details of comic incidents on the ship which were then used in
The Navy Lark's
scripts.
[22]
After
Ronnie Barker
left the series Pertwee took on various additional roles in the series. These included a villainous character called the Master, whose voice Pertwee said was an impression of
Herbert Beerbohm Tree
.
[22]
Pertwee did not appear in the
1959 film version of
The Navy Lark
. In his 1996 memoir he attributed this to producer
Herbert Wilcox
refusing to employ his co-star
Dennis Price
on the grounds that "he was gay", a decision Pertwee made clear that he thought "was ridiculous". Shortly after voicing his support of Price he found out he had been dropped from the film's cast and replaced by
Ronald Shiner
.
[23]
He was known as a
Danny Kaye
look-alike, and his impersonation of Kaye can be seen in the film
Murder at the Windmill
(1949).
[24]
He played Charlie Sterling in
Will Any Gentleman...?
(1953). Future
Doctor Who
actor
William Hartnell
was also in the film; he played Inspector Martin.
On stage, he played the part of Lycus in the 1963 London production of
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
with
Frankie Howerd
and appeared in the smaller role of Crassus in the 1966
film version
. He appeared as Sidney Tait in the comedy film
Ladies Who Do
(1963). In 1966, Pertwee starred alongside
Donald Sinden
in the original
West End
production of the long-running comedy
There's a Girl in My Soup
and in this period appeared in several
Carry On
films
:
Carry On Cleo
(1964), as the soothsayer;
Carry On Cowboy
(1965) as Sheriff Earp; and
Carry On Screaming!
(1966) as Dr. Fettle. (
Carry On Columbus
, with Pertwee in his fourth
Carry On
role, this time as the Duke of Costa Brava and coincidentally opposite
Marc Sinden
, Donald Sinden's son. It was released in 1992). In 1967, he was chosen by
Dad's Army
producer David Croft for the role of
Captain George Mainwaring
, but Pertwee turned it down ? possibly because he preferred to extend his role on Broadway in
There's a Girl in My Soup
.
[25]
[
page needed
]
In a lost interview from 1986, which was later rediscovered and published in 2008, he did not want his work on the
Carry On
films to overshadow his reputation as a serious actor.
[26]
His television career had started off with small parts in children's shows featuring
Richard Hearne
's Mr Pastry character. Later he made an appearance in
The Avengers
episode "
From Venus With Love
" (1967) as Brigadier Whitehead, and later, he guest-starred as a vicar in
The Goodies'
episode "
Wacky Wales
" (1975).
Doctor Who
[
edit
]
In 1969, shortly before leaving the series, producer
Peter Bryant
cast Pertwee as the
Third Doctor
in
Doctor Who
.
[27]
Pertwee had asked his agent to apply for the role for him and was surprised to find he was already on the shortlist. He was the second choice for the role;
Ron Moody
was the first but was unavailable.
[28]
In a departure from the Doctor's first two incarnations, Pertwee's era was influenced by the
James Bond film series
.
[29]
He played the character as an active crusader with a penchant for action and fancy clothes, while the character was exiled to Earth by the
Time Lords
for much of his tenure and serving as the scientific adviser to
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
and
UNIT
. He played the Doctor for five seasons from early 1970 to mid-1974, a longer stint than either of his predecessors in the role,
[20]
although he ultimately appeared in fewer episodes than William Hartnell as the BBC had reduced the production schedule.
[4]
Pertwee credited his performance as the Doctor with helping him work out exactly who he really was when he was not resorting to comedic disguises or voices.
[20]
This was because the BBC's Head of Drama,
Shaun Sutton
, had advised him to act the Doctor as himself: in effect, to "play Jon Pertwee".
[4]
Pertwee's interpretation of the Doctor was described as "a man of action, supremely confident, articulate, yet also warmly reassuring".
[30]
This incarnation was credited with being more action-oriented and scientifically minded than early versions of the Doctor.
[31]
In
The Making of Doctor Who
, Pertwee himself said "Doctor Who is me ? or I am Doctor Who. I play him straight from me."
[7]
On 14 April 1971, Pertwee was the subject of
Thames Television
's
This Is Your Life
.
During his tenure as the Doctor, Pertwee appeared in the
Amicus
horror
anthology
The House That Dripped Blood
(1971), which was filmed in the summer of 1970 between his first and second
Doctor Who
seasons. Pertwee played the lead in the last segment of the film as Paul Henderson, an arrogant horror film star who meets his doom thanks to a genuine vampire cloak. In 1973, Pertwee endorsed the
Co-op
's
Baking Your Cake and Eating It
, a recipe book written by Sarah Charles.
[32]
It has been given the unofficial title of
The Jon Pertwee Recipe Book
.
In early 1974, Pertwee announced he would step down as the Doctor to resume his stage career in
The Bedwinner
, also citing potential typecasting in the role as the reason for leaving, though he later said that the catalyst for his departure was the death of his good friend and co-star
Roger Delgado
(
The Master
) and the departures of co-star
Katy Manning
, producer
Barry Letts
and scriptwriter
Terrance Dicks
.
[33]
Also, according to
Elisabeth Sladen
in an interview on the DVD release of
Invasion of the Dinosaurs
,
Pertwee asked for a substantially increased fee for another year on the series, which was turned down, and he subsequently resigned from the role. Pertwee was also dealing with chronic back pain at the time, and was becoming less interested in the character of the Doctor.
[9]
His last full-time appearance in the series was in the story
Planet of the Spiders
in June 1974, which finished with
Tom Baker
replacing him in the role.
Pertwee later reprised the role in the 20th anniversary story
The Five Doctors
and the
Children in Need
story
Dimensions in Time
, in two radio adventures and on stage in
Doctor Who ? The Ultimate Adventure
.
Worzel Gummidge
[
edit
]
After a stint between 1974 and 1978 as the host of the Thames Television murder-mystery game show
Whodunnit?
, Pertwee took the
starring role
in
Worzel Gummidge
, based on the books written by
Barbara Euphan Todd
. Produced by
ITV
franchise contractor
Southern Television
in the initial run, it was first transmitted on ITV from 1979. Pertwee had first been approached to play the part of Worzel Gummidge in a film to be written by
Keith Waterhouse
and
Willis Hall
. When this project fell through, Pertwee encouraged the writers to create a television pilot instead, and via his
agent
pitched the idea to the
BBC
, which turned it down, and then Thames Television, which likewise rejected the project. Pertwee later admitted that he "began to lose faith in the project", until Southern Television's Lewis Rudd heard about it and enthusiastically agreed that the company would make the series.
[34]
The series saw Pertwee as a
scarecrow
, as well as using several comedic voices. The show was an immediate hit, with Pertwee describing it as "becoming something of a cult" after only four episodes had been broadcast.

Press interest in the series was high, and it ran on the channel until 1981. Keen to continue beyond this, Pertwee campaigned for the series and it was picked up by a New Zealand network,
TVNZ
, in 1987.
[34]
[35]
Worzel Gummidge Down Under
aired for the next two years and was screened in the UK on
Channel 4
. In 1995, Pertwee played the role one last time in a one-off special for ITV, which celebrated 40 years of the channel. Pertwee played the title character in
Worzel Gummidge, the Musical
, book and lyrics by
Keith Waterhouse
and
Willis Hall
, music by
Denis King
, which opened at London's
Cambridge Theatre
in December 1981, co-starring
Una Stubbs
and
Geoffrey Bayldon
. Pertwee also recorded an album,
Worzel Gummidge Sings
,
[36]
as well as a Christmas single.
Other roles
[
edit
]
Pertwee played the role of The Colonel in the
Disney
children's film
One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing
(1975). The following year, he voiced and appeared in the television advertisement that promoted the
Green Cross Code
by use of the
mnemonic
"SPLINK". Also in 1976, Pertwee starred with Australian singer
Julie Anthony
in a West End production of the musical
Irene
(originally 1919, revived Broadway 1973), playing the camp fashion-designer Madame Lucy (originally Liam O'Dougherty). The production opened at the
Adelphi Theatre
, London, and enjoyed a run of more than 900 performances: Pertwee features on the cast recording album, produced by
Norman Newell
for
EMI Records
(EMC3139). He also voiced the character of "
Spotty
" in the cartoon series
SuperTed
(1983?86) and, in 1985, starred in
Do You Know The Milkyway?
, a television adaptation of Karl Wittlinger's stage play in which Pertwee played Dr. Neuross and another nine characters. In 1995, he also had the key voice of
Death
and other voice characterisations in the PC and PlayStation renditions of
Discworld
. Also in 1995, he played General Von Kramer in the
Young Indiana Jones Chronicles
episode "Attack of the Hawkmen".
Writing shortly before his death in 1996, Pertwee stated that while he enjoyed his association with
Doctor Who
, he had perhaps spent too long in the title role. He believed that this led to the "ridiculous situation of people turning me down for parts because, they say, I am too well known as the Doctor."
[37]
He observed that after he left the show he only ever worked in a BBC drama on one occasion. This was in the role of "an aging Basque arsonist and pornographer" in an episode of
Virtual Murder
titled "A Torch for Silverado". He considered this to be one of "the best things I've ever done"
[38]
Later life
[
edit
]
He returned to the role of the Doctor in 1983 for the 20th-anniversary television special
The Five Doctors
and in the 1993 charity special
Dimensions in Time
for
Children in Need
. He also portrayed the Doctor in the stage play
Doctor Who ? The Ultimate Adventure
which toured theatres in the United Kingdom from March to June 1989. During the 1990s, he made a guest appearance in the "Lords and Ladies" episode of the
BBC Radio 4
comedy series
Harry Hill's Fruit Corner
, playing a
Time Lord
and also spoofed the role in the Radio 4 comedy
The Skivers
. He also presented the
Doctor Who
video releases
The Troughton Years
(1991), showcasing selected
surviving episodes
of otherwise
lost
stories, and
The Pertwee Years
(1992), the latter a look back at his time on the show, with three selected episodes.
In 1993, Pertwee was featured in the unofficial 30th anniversary VHS release entitled
30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond
. When asked in an interview for this documentary if the show should be brought back he simply replied with "No, no", but believed if it did come back a lot more money would need to be spent on the series, along with a new production team. Pertwee would continue to act in films and television as well as make appearances worldwide in support of
Doctor Who
. Ultimately, Pertwee was successful in seeing the Third Doctor return to the airwaves with two audio productions for
BBC Radio
,
The Paradise of Death
and
The Ghosts of N-Space
.
In April 1995, he appeared in
Devious
, an amateur video drama set between the second Doctor's trial at the end of
The War Games
and before the start of
Spearhead from Space
. It shows an interim Doctor (between second and third), played by Tony Garner, being told he was "never meant to be the Doctor" and that the third will complete him. Pertwee's scenes in that role were among the first pieces of the video that were released (on the DVD of
The War Games
). In the same year, he starred in a one-man show called
Who Is Jon Pertwee?
.
[39]
Pertwee's final film role was in a short film entitled
Cloud Cuckoo
for Scottish Screen, released on 18 June 1994. His last formal television appearance was on
Cilla Black
's
Surprise, Surprise
, broadcast on 21 April 1996, in which he appeared as the Third Doctor. At the time of his death, Pertwee was regularly being seen in the closing moments of a UK TV advert for mobile phone operator
Vodafone
, dressed in the style of his version of the Doctor. This character walked wordlessly across Pilgrim Street,
Liverpool
, entering a garage marked 'Doctor on Call' evidently containing some kind of time machine.
Personal life
[
edit
]
Pertwee married twice. His first marriage was in 1955, to
Jean Marsh
,
[40]
whom he divorced in 1960; later that same year he married Ingeborg Rhoesa (born 1935).
[41]
Together they had two children,
[42]
both of whom became actors: a daughter, Dariel, in 1961, and a son,
Sean
, in 1964.
Pertwee wrote two autobiographies:
Moon Boots and Dinner Suits
(published in 1984),
[4]
which primarily covers his life and career prior to
Doctor Who
, and the posthumously published
Doctor Who: I Am the Doctor ? Jon Pertwee’s Final Memoir
, (
ISBN
9781852276218
, published in November 1996 by
Virgin Publishing
Ltd. under the
Doctor Who Books
imprint and co-written with
David J. Howe
), which covered his life during and after the series. In 2000,
Jon Pertwee: The Biography
by Bernard Bale (
ISBN
0-233-99831-4
) was published by
Andre Deutsch
, and it included a few chapters by Pertwee's widow Ingeborg.
Death
[
edit
]
Pertwee continued on the
Doctor Who
convention circuit, and with his voice and television acting, until his death; he died in his sleep from a
heart attack
in
Connecticut
on 20 May 1996, at the age of 76. He was survived by Ingeborg and their two children. His immediate successor in the starring role of
Doctor Who
,
Tom Baker
, paid tribute, saying: "I am very sorry to hear the news. I was a great admirer of such a stylish actor."
[43]
Another of his successors in the role,
Colin Baker
, said: "He was a man of such presence and stature. I can't believe he has gone ? it is a great shock. Of all of the interpretations of the Doctors his was the most straight in terms of avoiding comedy."
[43]
His body was
cremated
, at
Putney Vale
crematorium, with a toy
Worzel Gummidge
affixed to the coffin, following the instructions in his will.
[44]
[45]
His death came six days after the American broadcast of the
Doctor Who
television film
, which used in its opening credits a logo based on that from his era of the television series. The BBC broadcast of the film, on 27 May 1996, featured a dedication to Pertwee at its end.
[46]
Legacy
[
edit
]
His last association with
Doctor Who
was posthumous. With the approval of his widow, Ingeborg, his voice was used as part of the plot of the
Big Finish Productions
' 40th Anniversary audio drama,
Zagreus
, appearing as messages from the Doctor's
TARDIS
as it attempted to help the currently corrupted
Eighth Doctor
(voiced by
Paul McGann
). Pertwee's voice was culled from the fan-produced
Doctor Who
film
Devious
.
Archival footage of Pertwee has been used several times in the revived
Doctor Who
. Footage appears in "
The Next Doctor
" when the
Tenth Doctor
shows Jackson Lake an infostamp about himself, and in "
The Eleventh Hour
" when the
Eleventh Doctor
rhetorically asks the Atraxi how previous alien invasion attempts were stopped. Footage of Pertwee was used in "
The Name of the Doctor
" to depict his Doctor interacting with a version of
Clara Oswald
, in "
The Lodger
" in a montage of bits from the Doctor's past, and in "
The Day of the Doctor
" to depict the Third Doctor assisting his other incarnations in sending
Gallifrey
to a
pocket universe
to protect it from the
Daleks
.
A
star was nicknamed after him
in 1986.
[47]
In 2016, his work was honoured with a
blue plaque
at the
New Wimbledon Theatre
, which was arranged by the
Doctor Who
Appreciation Society
.
