It's been 21 years now since we lost Jon Pertwee. I wish he'd lived long enough to see Doctor Who's revival in 2005, I think he would have been proud. A very talented and much-missed actor. 😢
I dread it too. The only other time I cried over a TV star was in 2012 when Larry Hagman who played JR Ewing on Dallas passed away. He passed on the 23rd November 2012 too, Doctor Who's anniversary date which upset me even more. I love both Doctor Who & Dallas.
I was totally heart broken when i found that Jon had died, i loved all his tv shows that he did, what a remarkable man Jon was! He is my all time favourite actor & always will be.
I was in a shop and I heard the news on the radio. I couldn't be absolutely 100% certain of what I had heard... so I actually ran home and phoned the BBC. They confirmed it. It was a very sad day. I remember it as if it was yesterday.
So glad I got to live on the earth at the same time as this wonderful gentleman. He truly made the role the popular culture icon that it has become. And to create another iconic character for Worzel Gummidge. :) Rest In Peace Jon Pertwee.
He was given a summerlong gig at the Liverpool Garden Festival in the early 80's as Worzel. He would just buzz around on a 3 wheeled motorbike stopping and chatting to vistors. So accessible and friendly. Seems to have been a really nice bloke.
Happy 100th Jon. Such a great actor, and a large part of Doctor Who, as well as Worzel Gummidge, Carry On and his guest appearance in The Goodies. He was my childhood, and I still miss him.
Just a few days later, on Spring Bank Holiday, the Doctor Who TV Movie staring Paul McGann was screened. Difficult to believe that 20 years have passed, oh for a Time Machine.
And what's even sadder, Jon and Sylvester were interviewed and they were told about an upcoming doctor who movie. Both said they would watch it. And Jon died days before the movie aired...😢😭
Jon Pertwee Death was announce on ITV News at Ten 7 days before the fail American Doctor Who movie was Broadcast on BBC1 on Bank Holiday Monday on 27th of May 1996, I remember BBC1 Paying tribute to Jon Pertwee at the end of the movie. Sad indeed.
It is so sad that he died. I remember him for his role of Spotty on Superted, and at 2:21 it's not everyday you get to see Worzel Gummidge and Goofy together.
I was only about 11 when he died, but thanks to my mum who grew up watching him, I myself grew up watching his episodes and was always enthralled by his James Bond style at playing the Doctor
I remember this report so well. Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor along with Jo Grant! He'd have loved todays Doctor Who. I wonder what he would have made of Jodie Whittaker as The 13th Doctor
idk 1234 Pertwee did Season 7 to 11. That is 5 season, now you continue to do the mathematics by researching his tenure on Wikipedia and google. Perhaps you don’t count 1970 as a actual year????
@@digipeeper en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_actors_who_have_played_the_Doctor he did 5 series across 4 years, 5 months and 5 days (in terms of on-screen time)
I wqs in my mothers womb on this day in 96. Pertwee is the best doctor after baker in my opinion. Crazy all the things the happened the year i was born. Doctor who movie came out 1996 too.
It's only 5 years if you ignore the fact months exist. January 1970 - June 1974 is roughly 4 and a half years. Also seasons 10 and 11 started in 1972 and 1973 respectively.

The disappointment when they say Colin Baker is reporting and the reporter doesn't turn out to be THE Colin Baker.
I know, what are the odds!
The air zone solution
@@sidneychannel That's not connected to Doctor Who.
Well it have Sylvester McCoy and Colin baker and peter Davison and Jon pertwee
@@sidneychannel But it isn't Doctor Who.
I met Jon Pertwee in 1993. He was such a nice man. A good actor. A good comedian. The first Doctor Who I ever got a autograph from.
I would love to see a multi-Doctor episode in which Sean plays the third Doctor as a tribute to Jon
It's been 21 years now since we lost Jon Pertwee. I wish he'd lived long enough to see Doctor Who's revival in 2005, I think he would have been proud. A very talented and much-missed actor. 😢
He died just three years before the start of Big Finish. It would have been incredible to have Jon Pertwee in some Big Finish.
@@DemetriusSorvo they used audio from the unfinished fan film Devious in one story
@@DemetriusSorvo maybe Sean could play the Third Doctor in them
I dread the day we hear the same news about Tom Baker!
It's scary to think that he's almost 10 years older than Jon pertwee was when he died
A bit morbid.
Tom

Why would you say this
I think Jon Pertwee was the best doctor. R.I.P my funniest and best doctor.
I agree
And for his death we must reverse the polarity of the neutron flow
He was fabulous as the Doctor. He's my fave.
Jon’s role as the third incarnation of Dr Who is more & more appreciated as time marches on. R.I.P, my absolute favourite Doctor.

He died before I was born, sadly

Would’ve been 100 this year
He is missed by so many and loved by all. It is sad and nice to see his son looking almost identical to him
Happy 100th Jon. Such a great actor, and a large part of Doctor Who, as well as Worzel Gummidge, Carry On and his guest appearance in The Goodies. He was my childhood, and I still miss him.
Very fitting tribute from Sylvester.😊🙏🙏
Pity he died. Wish I could have met him. He is my favourite Doctor.
I met Jon at a book signing in 93 - lovely man with much time for his fans

@@Kazavop I think the movie was a tribute to Jon Pertwee
@@alexmacleod3728 The Beeb did have a dedication to him at the end of the movie.
@@Via_The_Void Only in the UK version of the movie, though. Not in the American broadcast.
@@timrob12
I thought the TV Movie got it’s premier stateside weeks ahead of the UK, hence why there would be no dedication on the US broadcast.
This was a sad day for Doctor Who fans.
Can't believe it's been 20 years. I still remember seeing the news in DWM.

Jon Pertwee will be sadly missed, very sadly missed indeed.
My childhood hero! Love from Australia
I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard the news. Totally gutted.
It is so sad that he died. I remember him for his role of Spotty on Superted, and at 2:21 it's not everyday you get to see Worzel Gummidge and Goofy together.
He was my favourite Doctor Who when I watched the series as a teenager in the 1970s.
I was only about 11 when he died, but thanks to my mum who grew up watching him, I myself grew up watching his episodes and was always enthralled by his James Bond style at playing the Doctor
Jon WAS the Doctor!!
End of!!
I totally agree with you.
I totally agree
Jon pertwee was best actor and navy veteran HMS hood
RIP jon pertwee
Jon pertwee has great life
He was so lucky he left the HMS Hood before it was sunk. Thankfully it was meant to be.
MY Doctor. The Jon Pertwee era was the best.
I remember this report so well. Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor along with Jo Grant! He'd have loved todays Doctor Who. I wonder what he would have made of Jodie Whittaker as The 13th Doctor
Crap
The same as the rest of us....complete shit
He would have thought it was terrible.
Jodie Whittaker is not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Jon.
Where have the years gone?
He was the best Doctor Who ever
Man, I do miss Trevor McDonald heading the news.
Best classic doctor! Definitely my favourite classic who
I saw an interview on YT a week ago recorded just 8 days before he died.
To me he was THE Doctor.
Seven weirdos disliked this. They need to see an actual doctor.
There's fifteen of them now. Jon was terrific as the Doctor. How could anyone dislike a news report about the death of someone. It beggars belief.
The best classic Doctor!
20 Years Ago today.
R.I.P John never got to meet you
He also lens his voice to Spotty Man in the Children's Animated series SuperTed
Jon Pertwee was a fundamental force in USA fandom
I had the pleasure of meeting Jon Pertwee in person at the theatre. Still had his sense of humour until the end.
That's really sad.
I met him at a show.Nice guy.
Rip Jon .i love you
I was only about 5 years old and never knew about it until I was older. truly sad and was a good actor to make us love the Doctor
This was a very sad day true gentleman
I could only watch News At Ten sometimes as it was always late!
Katie Fraser 10.00pm
The best version of the doctor
0:42 he was the Doctor for 5 years mate!
James McLoughlin 1970-1974 it was 4 years.
@@LSK134 sorry I thought it was 5
He filmed from 1969-74, but was on screen 1970-74.

@@jamesmcloughlin8996 It is five years.
Truly my all time favourite Doctor, followed closely by Tom Baker.
A Great DW Actor. That is how i would want to go out.

COLIN BAKER news at ten!!!
He never died, just regenerated.
Monday 20th May 1996
Sad day 😞
25 years this month
Is that Helen Worth, the actor who plays Gail Potter/Platt from Coronation Street, in the background at the end?
Sylvester has his TV movie hair
I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed the reporter is called Colin Baker!
I was year old when he died
R I P Perto . . . .one of the best . . . .
Irony isn't lost that the reporter was another Colin Baker!
Was the journalist voice over named Colin Baker? That's funny.
What part was Sylvester playing where he had a haircut like that?
Was he auditioning for
Operation Ewe Tree
It fascinates me that two doctors died in America. 3 and 2. Both from Heart Attacks now I think about it.
Joseph Chambers it’s no wonder Tom hasn’t travelled to America in decades.
Tom and Jon were the DOCTOR
Rip

He was almost Q.
He wasn't that old either (or if he was, he didn't look it)
0:42 He played the doctor for 5 years not 4
ComedyCenter 5 seasons for 4 years
Makaio ! 1970 - s7
1971 - s8
1972 - s9

Best dr who
Forgot to put his living head on.
What the 6!!
Why is it always sylvester that gets interviews for doctor who related news.
Well to be fair, he was the most recent Doctor at the time of this report.
Io non lo sapevo che era stato anche Worzel!
I wonder where that children's event with Goofy was. Also I am surprised the Third Doctor met Goofy.
Sorry what? ITN's Colin Baker? Oh god how delicious.
0:21 New rules on how far you can go to defend your home? Probably very little, I suspect. Anyway...i absolutely loved Jon Pertwee.
0:28 you mean
I bet aunt sally moved on quick!
With cup of tea and slice of cake.
He didn't play "Doctor Who" he played "The Doctor"
I wish I could met him :(
