He was also lined up to play Captain Mannering in Dad’s Army

Sean Pertwee his son sounds exactly the same as his dear dad x

There may be many Doctors, but there can only ever be one Worzel.

Worzel with his clever head on.

What sort of a host doesn't even offer old Worzel a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake

:-)) good one

jon was highly respected but also underrated at the same time. Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee were the best Doctors for the 70's and early eighties, just perfect in all respects of the show. Jon is and will always be greatly missed by myself and I hope many others. I am happy he does not see the world as it is now. R.I.P Mr Jon Pertwee you are and will always be missed.

Pertwee and Baker were the best of the “classic” doctors. Patrick Troughton got a few notable series, but it was really Jon Pertwee who brought this series to life. And then, Christopher Eccleston after the dreary 1980s and sad death of Doctor Who.

Yes John, as we have discovered this Christmas 2019, "No one else can play Worzel Gummidge", RIP

Bless you John fondly remembered,we used to sit crossed legged in front of tv watching Worzel Gummidge,loved it,I’m 51 now,and when I have a nostalgic thought now and again your always part of it.sadly missed,John and Worzel.

JON PERTWEE,WAS THE BEST FOR WORZEL GUMMIDGE,WE MISS HIM .XXX

Pure genius, loved Worzel as a kid.

Jon pertwee was my favourite doctor who and just a really nice man

Best Dr Who actor of all... grew up on London watching and following his great acting.

Very famous guy Jon Pertwee and he shock my hand Barry Proffitt. Rest in peace and sadly missed.

I had to get used to a one hundred percent polished and eloquently spoken Pertwee in full Worzel attire.

I experienced that at a Chicago "Doctor Who" convention in the 80's. He turned up as Worzel to judge the costume contest, and was in character throughout, but afterward I ended up sharing an elevator with him and his minder. I was dressed as Zaphod Beeblebrox at the time, and I asked him how long it took to get done up as Worzel. "Oh, about twenty minutes," he said, sounding like the Doctor. "Probably as long as it took you to get into that."

Loved Worzel Gummidge as a child, John is an amazing actor!

I grew up in the 70s, Dr Who with Pertwee was one of the few "must see" TV programmes. I also enjoyed Worzel, hilarious. Wangling in Lady Bloomsbury-Barton's pond, how's that for a memory?

Based on the times I've seen him in person, I think he could take for 24 hours straight about interesting things that happened in his life without ever repeating himself or boring any of his listeners.

Worzel Gummidge and the best ever Doctor Who, legend!!

My first Doctor Who, 👍

Thank you. Never seen this before.

I loved watching wozel gummage when I was younger it was just so funny absolutely fantastic actor one of the best in the business

I could listen to him talk all day.. what a fantastic actor.. I absolutely loved Worzel as a child , and 40 years later I’m still just as enchanted . Sweet man and hilariously charming 💓

And New Zealand said yes to the last two series, I'm a little proud 🥰🥰🥰

Wow the memories come flooding back! lol such a great guy and his son is just as amazing

My favourite Doctor Who the third and amazing stories

I went to this, the theatre production. Great memories.

My childhood. Never forget those wheat eyebrows.

Jon doing the interview in costume as Worzel is hilarious! XD

Wonderful opening scenes of London which took me back 40 years!

After seeing him so many times breaking into Worzels voice sans make-up I find a strange sense of completion seeing him speaking with his own voice in full Gummidge garb

i wish he had talked all the interview in his worzel voice

Love Jon pertwee genius RIP

That interviewer made my toes curled

great actor

what a legend!!

12:22 - 12.24 is something I thought I’d never see.

he was the best cant beat him ,classic actor

Legend r.i.p

Legend ❤🤴🏻

When I was a little kid. I remember being jealous of Sean Pertwee, because I WANTED TO BE WURZELS SON😂 God bless Mr Jon Pertwee.

Absolutely loved WG a character that was so so funny and went to the hearts of the country . Fantastic man .

Jon Pertwee was a great actor. Truly brilliant

legend!!

It's is a brilliant program. I love it.

Thanks for sharing this

1982s New Romantic fashion being modeled by John Pertwee.

Total legend 👍

Legendary..

Brilliant!

met him once when i was a young kid, he was doing theater. Sweet.

It looks strange when Jon speaks in normal while dressed as Worzel gummidge. Me and my stepdad loved the show growing up and he was my favourite doctor.

He was a great actor lovely guy and played one of my favourite characters ever. Worzel x

What a tremendous voice he had and such a radiant personality. Worzel Gummidge was my favourite TV show as a little boy and now my son, the same age now as I was then absolutely loved the Mackenzie Crook version. I have to say Crook did a brilliant job also. Great cast. I don't mind telling you I was welling up a couple of times....

I think number one on that short list for Dr Who might have been Geoffrey Bayldon, who turned it down in favour of Catweazle, and thank god he did ...both were fantastic in their separate roles.

Jon Petwee, was a very acomplished man, Naval Officer, Intelligence officer, actor , brilliant comic. He also had a very close call, he left HMS Hood , as she was steaming out of Scapa Flow to meet the Bismark and Prinz Eugen. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00bdjh3

That was shit in comparison to the first four original English series.... mainly because they replaced the excellent Geoffrey Bayldon as the Crowman. Also, there were no guest cast characters of the calibre and eccentricity that the original had such as Lorraine Chase, Bill Maynard, Joan Sims, Barbara Windsor, Bernard Cribbins, Mike Reid etc.

Ahh I wish he'd of stayed in character through out the interview I'd watch hours of that.

Brilliant stuff I never liked Worzel Gummidge,I am a Catweazle man,but its lovely to see the great Jon Pertwee giving such a great interview he was a master Thespian to his bones. Thanks Colin for sharing. More from your wonderful archive please.

Correct. Geoffrey Bayldon had a recurring role as The Crowman. He and Pertwee played off each other very well, and Pertwee was unquestionably in his element.

Interesting interview, shame the interviewer sounded droll and really uninterested, Jon Pertwee the one and only Worzel Gummidge

1:01 Jon Pertwee Also Played The Voice Of Spottyman In Superted The Original Series In 1983 And He Also Played The Third Doctor In Doctor Who. Thanks Mate. PS I've Didn't Know Worzel Gummidge Is Turned Into A Big West End Hit Musical In London's Glittering West End Before Bouibil And Schonberg's Miss Saigon And Les Miserables And Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom Of The Opera And Lin-Manuel Miranda And Cameron Mackintosh's Hamilton And Stephen Schwartz's Wicked And Lionel Bart's OLIVER And Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang And Rodgers And Hammerstein's The Sound Of Music And Disney And Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins And Andrew Lloyd Webber And Tim Rice's Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat And Disney's Frozen And Roald Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory And Grease And Disney's Aladdin And Disney's Beauty And The Beast And Disney's The Lion King. Awesome. X

Speaking posh whilst dressed up as Worzel Gummidge... bit weird!🤣

When Jon mentions how he was told he'd never make it surely the interviewer then asks "oh why?" not just plough on to the next question, I hate that one way interview style, btw Jon was in 3 not 2 Carry Ons as he states, the Sheriff in Cowboy, the Soothsayer in Cleo and the scientist in Screaming

Now I get why Baker said Pertwee was "easily teased", he must have seen this and picked up on "tripping over a long scarf" 😂 Dear Jon.

Rubbish. They are both brilliant in their different ways.

Southern Television lost its franchise to TVS, eventually Worzel Gummidge was picked up by the tv network in New Zealand

He did a great interview, even with such a talentless interviewer. Jon Pertwee had a voice of gold. Clearly, an intellect of platinum. And such a kind way of interacting with the interviewer. I grew up with Doctor Who from the late 60s (Patrick T) onwards. But if I were an actor, I’d really study Pertwee’s interviews because he could take a nothing interviewer and make the interview fascinating. Funny though, re: this interview, I have some family in Tooting Bec!

16:30 - the reason why no-one wanted to “take over” Worzel (at that time) is because the ITV company that made it - Southern - lost their ITV franchise in December 1980 to TVS, effective from January 1982. TVS had no interest in carrying on any Southern programmes. The show was offered to HTV in Cardiff and Anglia TV in Norwich, both of whom were interested but deals fell through…

This man was my childhood. Demons is one of my favourite all time shows. For the people who want to know Jon said the first pick for Doctor Who was an actor called Ron Moody on an Evening with Jon Pertwee. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5hq1qRradaap5c.html

God the interviewer has as much enthusiasm questioning as me finding out I’ve got shit on the bottom of my shoe

"Mostly bit parts in Carry On films.." "No no... ...I was playing feature roles and leading roles in movies for some 10-12 years" ...ffs sake interviewer, do your fekking homework!
