Re: Jon pertwee.

I was intersed to find that it was an effort to get Worzel Gummidge launched, as it had been rejected by the BBC & most of the larger ITV companies before Southern agreed to make it.

Makes you wonder how many potentially great shows slipped through the net, never to be made, watched and discussed on forums like this. I'm having a 'Sliding Doors' moment...

Re: Jon pertwee.

I was lucky to see him at a convention just a few weeks before he died.

He had Plenty of interesting stories when interviewed, not just about Doctor Who either.

I think I might have an interview from 1990's daytime TV on tape somewhere.

Re: Jon pertwee.

Lol, anyone know why he slapped Liz? I did read when he was in the actual Navy he went out on shore leave with mates, got blind drunk and woke up with that tattoo on his forearm! He couldn't remember the night itself...classic.

He had his Whomobile commissioned especially and he gave it to a then recently bereaved fan of the show, then used to borrow it once in a while. Some other place has it now...

I liked him. Nice bloke, nice Dr Who-some of his outfits were a bit naff I thought though.

Re: Jon pertwee.

JP will always be Worzel Gummidge to me. I can't actually remember him being anything else.

Re: Jon pertwee.

I have always been a huge admirer of Jon. I met him once. He is probably my favourite Doctor. Then I read in Elisabeth Sladen's Autobiography that he slapped her round the face! I couldn't believe it!!
