In this first-look Season 10 Doctor Who Bluray special features preview, I'll give you a peek at the new 90-minute documentary The Third Man, which takes an in-depth look at the Third Doctor's era of the show and at Jon Pertwee, the man who played this incarnation of the Time Lord.
In my preview clips, former Dr Who showrunner Steven Moffat and longtime Who writer Mark Gatiss indulge in some serious Doctor Who Season 10 discussion. They talk about the strong influence that the Hammer Films movie Quatermass And The Pit had on the Third Doctor's time, then air their views on Pertwee's whole approach to the role of the Doctor.

Pertwee's Doctor became, almost, like a father figure to me. This was after my dad passed away in 1969. I owe him and the Barry Letts/Terrance Dicks partnership a lot, helping me get through some painful years in the early 70's. I picked up much philosophy which has stayed with me and I have built upon in the fifty years since.
Belated thanks for this comment, Josef! So glad to hear that the show has enriched your life in that way. There definitely has always been something parental about the Doctor, for sure. :)
@@jarnopp What thrilled me, in more recent years, I came to know a bookseller who had been in the Navy with Jon. He became best friend and trusted confidant. He had also been in - let's say - a gentlemen's rest home for a period, after a breakdown, with Michael Bentine. Katy Manning also said that Jon and Roger were like father figures to her in her time on the show. Sometimes we can be fortunate to be guided by good people that just happen, at vital times, to be around us.
@@josefschiltz2192 Yes indeed. And it's fascinating that these good people don't actually need to be physically in our lives - they can merely be an inspiration from afar.
I grew up with modern Doctor Who,Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant. But I actually went back and watched the classic series of the show and Jon Pertwee was the Doctor I saw and the first time I saw his Doctor and jo grant, with Roger Delgado as the master!
I was absorbed! I liked Jon pertweeâs persona for the Doctor! He had a warm but cold presence about him, a lovely man, his doctor had style, and for me he rates as a personal favourite
Love Jon Pertwee. He will always be my Doctor.
Excellent - thanks for your comment! Pertwee's getting so much love in these comments, which is great to see.
Mine too
Jon was also my favorite Doctor. He was the first one I had watched. I agree with Mark-Jonâs Doctor did seem to be a combination of Bernard Quatermass and Adam Adamant.
Love Jon Pertwee's era, the most consistently entertaining stories across five wonderful seasons.
S 1962 Thanks so much for saying hello! Yes, Season 10 is a pretty killer run, all right.
My two favorite classic Doctors are Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. You can't beat those two.
Absolute classics! đđ
Loved Jon Pertwee as the doctor. He was a great time lord
Billy duffy Yes indeed Billy! Thanks for watching. đ
Wonderful to see Mark and Steven remain enthusiastic about Doctor Who despite moving on. (It wouldnât be hard to imagine Steven in particular being so burned by his work on the show heâd never want to talk about it again!) Stevenâs insights in particular about the show and storytelling in general are always interesting to me.
Sorry for missing this comment! And I agree - it's great to see that Steven has retained his passion for Who. :)
Pertwee swilling wine around his mouth and eating cheese in Day of the Daleks. I saw this aged 12 and thought "I want to be like that".
Michael Woods Haha! Hope you didnât lay into the wine too early.
And was described as "a one man cheese and wine appreciation society" or something like that!
Great vid, can't believe he'd be 100! Jon embodied the character of The Doctor wholeheartedly, and always had time for his fans. He still IS The Doctor all these years later. Shame the show has been ruined of late, but these classic Blu-ray sets are the perfect way to get a dose of REAL Doctor Who!
A truly classic Doctor, yes! And it really is quite astonishing, as you say, that Jon would have been 100 today. He's much missed.
I've always said that there were many scenes in the third Doctor's series which we almost Shakespearean, in the way that the actors stood up straight and delivered their lines with a perfect "posh BBC" accent.
Jon Pertwee is still my favourite Doctor.đ
That's cool, cheers Patrick. Out of interest, was Pertwee also the first Doctor you ever saw? I have a theory that we all tend to love our first Doctors the most! :)
@@jarnopp Funnily enough, he was the first Doctor I saw in "Terror of the Autons". Sticks in my mind to this very day.
I grew up with Tom Baker and Peter Davison but when they repeated the early Pertwee stuff I loved it. My undying memory is from Spearhead from Space, when John is pelting down the road in a wheelchair, escaping the hospital!
Thanks Marc! Pretty sure the first Pertwee I ever saw was a repeat too, in the shape of The Curse Of Peladon. Although it's possible I saw a repeat of Carnival Of Monsters first...
Same, I started watching the show in '80-'81 but it was the repeats of the Pertwee years that got me hooked.
The thing I always find with Jon Pertwee is that I never have his era's stories at the top of my list to watch but when I do they're just so enjoyable that I wonder why that is. I was a little too young for Pertwee. Tom Baker is my 'first' Doctor so his era is my 'comfort' watch, particularly Season 17 but there's something quintessential Doctor Who about the Pertwee era. Perhaps it is the whole 'team' thing.
Tony Cross Hi Tony! I know what you mean. I donât have the nostalgic umbilical cord back to the Pertwee era, because I didnât watch it first time around. Having said that, I did experience a lot of the imagery back then, in the form of Target books, Weetabix cards and the like! Complex, innit.
Jon and Tom were the classiest Doctors the 1970s was so good
Absolutely!
He was my favourite. Such a great screen presence
Absolutely. One of those magnetic personalities đđ
Nice one! The Matthew Sweet interviews are so good, breathing new life into old Doctor Who. And I also love seeing what New Who folk think of the classic era.
The Daemons has a big Quatermass moment, when the Doctor points out how images of the devil go right back, deep into our past - and they're all rooted in ancient humanity's encounter with Azal, if I remember right. And there's a slideshow to back it up - I'm pretty sure they used one in Quatermass too.
Carl Wood Hey Carl! Glad youâre enjoying the box-set. And yeah, thatâs an excellent point about The Daemons and Quatermass! đ
I always wonder what a Third/Fourth Doctor encounter would be like. I don't think there's ever been such a contrast between incarnations.
This is true! I think they'd probably clash even more than Doctors 2 and 3!
@@jarnopp I agree...the Fourth Doctor is rather more imposing and centre-stage than the Second, which would be a problem, and I think the Third Doctor would find him irritating, alarming but also genuinely baffling. The Fourth might regard his predecessor as pompous and patrician.
I had the advantage of Jon Pertwee being my first true Doctor. Yes. I had seen bits of Peter Davison as the Doctor. But nothing really grabbed me as a casual viewer who was switching channels. I had heard casual friends discussing the fact that our local PBS station had switched back to a previous actor portraying Doctor Who. I tuned in. I was captivated. To me, this was The Avengers. This was James Bond. This was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...and more. This was Jon Pertwee! I was ignorant to the space and time travel of the series. I was mesmerizedrby Jon's Doctor as a character. He played off his three female companions, along with the Brigadier, Benton and Yates. The Doctor was brilliant, irrascible and wonderfully charming.Most of all, he was mesmerizing in his performance. 40 plus years later, I am still a Doctor Who fanatic.
What a cool story! Thank you so much for sharing it. đđâ„ïž
The Three Doctors was the first ever Classic Who story I saw, so naturally Jon Pertwee's Doctor will always hold a special place in my heart. :)
Ah, nice! There's always something special about that first story, isn't there. :) Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
my left ear loves the commentary
John Pertwee was my first doctor and my first doctor who episode was Spearhead from space 1970 so I have been a long time Classic doctor who fan đđđđ
Absolutely - that's a good innings, Paul! :)
Jon's still my favorite Doctor. (I became a Doctor Who fan in 1981, long after his tenure was over, but I caught his episodes in repeats and loved his Doctor immediately.) I completely agree with Mark's comment about Jon being the perfect hero for that era. And making you feel like he'll be able to handle any problem that arises. I first read that the Third Doctor's era was influenced by Quatermass back in the 80's (I think it was in Doctor Who: A Celebration By Peter Haining), then subsequently I watched the Hammer film (The Best Hammer Quatermass film IMO - I hated The Brian Donlevy ones, he came off like a real douchebag.) later I sought out the remaining TV episodes, and saw that, that was indeed the case. I have yet to buy this Box-set, but I'll certainly be getting it as soon as possible.
AubreySciFi Hey there Aubrey - thanks for your thoughts and memories. And for subscribing! đȘđ€
they were spot on. he was my first Doctor, and I was lucky enough to meet him, he was incredibly gracious and kind to we fans.
That's lovely to hear, MB. Where did you meet him?
SUCH a difference now in 2024! đł
I think JON was GENIUS as the Doctor......For me as an 8 yr old onwards it worked PERFECTLY. He was like an Action hero but also a hyper intelligent benevolent figure who could save you from all the fear & horror. Like in TERROR OF THE AUTONS when he Venusian Karate chopped the Auton Policeman in that white Jag & got himself & Jo out of the most HORRIBLE situation I had ever seen in Dr. Who to date....His Doctor's sheer bloody mindedness in standing up to the MASTER'S EVIL & finding a way Through it was SO inspiring . (The Master I found was actually MORE scary than the Monsters being so brilliantly played by Roger Delgado) At the time I was too young to appreciate the subtler points about Jon's Doctor being made here but I can TOTALLY get what Mark was saying now.... The relationship between the Doctor's character and the Army man like the Brig PRE-DATES Jon's tenure in the character actually. Jon came in 1970 ....Quatermass & the Pit Hammer movie was 1967,,,,The start of the Doctor & Lethbridge Stewart started in 1968 in the adventure THE WEB of FEAR with Patrick's Doctor with the Yeti in the London Underground.....a year after the Hammer movie.....BOTH were set in the London underground actually...I don't know whether Derrick Sherwin was involved in Dr. Who before Jon in 1968 ? ....I actually preferred JON & PATRICK in the TV series of Dr. Who to that 1967 movie actually. The characters worked better together....Did Hammer also do the two Dr. Who Dalek movies with Peter Cushing ?
I was born in May 1971 and my earliest Dr Who memory is Genesis the Daleks. I love Tom Baker who had a fantastic chemistry with Liz Sladen. However, my favourite has changed over the years to become Jon Pertwee.The late great Uncle Terry and Barry Letts made a fantastic team and I loved Roger Delgado.
Hi Bryan - sorry I missed this comment a few weeks ago! Yes, it's funny how your favourite Doctor can shift over time. Thanks for dropping by, sir!
yes..and we can all agree that Sylvester mccoy spelt the absolute end of the franchise . . . . .R I P Dr WHO .
Jon Pertwee was my favourite childhood Doctor in the 1970s and still my favourite of Classic Who.
The first full episode of Doctor Who that I remember watching was Jon's first, Spearhead from Space, featuring the Autons in 1970, when I was a five year old girl. I wasn't terrified of Daleks, but the Autons were so realistic, I asked my late mother to walk past department store windows very quickly in case they came to life.
What did I love about Jon Pertwee? He was very smartly dressed, very in vogue for the early 1970s, I loved his capes, ruffled shirts, his James Bond type gadgets and his softly spoken voice. He was, at the time, the tallest actor to have played the part, equalled by Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and Jon was everything that I imagined the Doctor should be. He also spoke with authority in a no nonsense manner. "Now listen to me..."
Jon also worked with two actresses who immediately became my favourite assistants, Josephine (Jo) Grant, played by Katy Manning and Sarah-Jane Smith played by the late Elisabeth Sladen. I was heartbroken when Jo left to get married. I was about 8 years old at the time, but I immediately took to Sarah-Jane and she healed my broken heart.
Until it was broken again, when Jon Pertwee left. He attributed the sudden and tragic death of Roger Delgado who played the First Master as a reason for leaving.
We also got to see more of Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, brilliantly (and convincingly) played by the late Nicholas Courtney, an actor who first made an appearance in Doctor Who in 1965 in Hartnell's tenure, then later returned as the Brigadier (a different character) in 1968 under Troughton's tenure, but it was with Jon Pertwee that he's mostly associated with and considered an unofficial companion.
Most fans of Classic Who cite Tom Baker (Fourth Doctor) as their favourite, but nobody could replace Jon Pertwee in my eyes or affections. He left when I was 9 years old, exactly one month before my paternal grandmother died, the only grandparent that I ever knew. I remember my late mother asking me what I thought of the Fourth Doctor. I lived in hope that Jon would walk back through the TARDIS door and, although he did return briefly for The Five Doctors under Peter Davison's tenure, to my delight, it wasn't the same.
Although Tom Baker is the longest serving actor in the role (and equally as tall as Jon Pertwee), it wasn't until Matt Smith's era that I actually found another Doctor that I adored as much, particularly when he was partnered with Clara Oswald, albeit briefly.
As for Quatermass, I've been a fan of sci-fi since a little pre-school girl in the 1960s, but was never a fan of Quatermass. Too boring.
To me, any comparison to Quatermass would be unfavourable criticism of Jon Pertwee's era, rather than praise.
So I don't see the resemblance.
Gaynor Hey, thanks so much for commenting - thatâs a wonderfully detailed piece of work. đđđđ€
Born in 1971 meant that I grew up with Tom Baker whom I adore, but Pertwee has become my favourite
David Lewis Hi David! Thanks for dropping in. Interesting to hear that a personâs âbirth Doctorâ can in time be replaced as favourite by another!
I started watching Doctor Who when Jon Pertwee took over the role from Patrick Troughton and I've never looked back. I was 8 years old and now I'm 61
Hey there John! How wonderful it must have been to watch the show go out live. How much of Pertwee did you watch in colour at the time? đđ
@@jarnopp I started watching Jon Pertwee from the colour story Spearhead from Space and literally watched Doctor Who from Jon's first story right through to Sylvester McCoy's Survival. I rented a video cassette recorder from a rental company and set the timer during Peter Davison's first season because I was working as a Assistant Cinema Projectionist for ABC 1 &2 and often had to work when the 5th Doctor stories were broadcast. At the same time the Doctor Who stories were being released on Video and the first one i bought was the brilliant Pyramids of Mars with Tom Baker. I collected all of the Doctor who videos and was able to watch for the first time Hartnell and Troughton that were available. When DVD took over from Video I bought all the Doctor who stories again on that format. Now i buying my favourite show on Blu Ray and I'm loving the Lee Binding artwork.
@@johntaylor6345 Brilliant. And of course, I have to ask: did you keep your VHS recordings from the Davison era?
@@jarnopp Actually because I bought the Davison seasons on DVD i kept recording through the 80s then stopped because i was buying the videos of the Doctors but the videos didn't have any extra features like the dvds did. At the moment I'm collecting the blu ray box sets but I have decided not to collect again once all the limited editions have been released. I no longer have a video recorder nor do I have any of the videos
He's absolutely my favourite Doctor despite not being the first I wached. I love the Bond nature he has - I'm thoroughly convinced he was the real deal who Bond was based on.
Andrew Lewis Hey Andrew! Thanks - thatâs a really good point about Doc Three and his era. Highly Bondesque. (Bondian?)
Actually, Pertwee was Q in real life. Check his War Record. He built gadgets for British spies.
Only Jon Pertwee could reverse the polarity of the neutron flow..... I'll say no more. â€ïž
Hehe! âșđ
By far the best Doctor.
It's funny - I was a child of the NuWho era (I was 9 when it came back on telly for, well... Doctor 9!) / but it was a mix of Pertwee & Davison who was my first Doctors (thank you UKTV Gold).
I was always drawn by the way he would deliver the sci-fi dialogue & you felt like he knew what he was talking about. An absolutely delightful actor.
A fine assessment of a fine actor, Charlie! Thank you. đđ
Great video. Love Jon Pertwee, he was quite a force to be reckoned with ;) I grew up with the show but when I saw Jon's run on UK gold back in the day 1992? He for me became my favourite doctor.
kirk stacey Thanks so much, Kirk - thatâs very encouraging. And âa force to be reckoned withâ is a splendid description of Jon Pertwee! đȘ
As a very young kid at the time, his portrayal as The Doctor was perfect.
Like a hero grandfather who made you feel safe and had a high moral compass.
Tom is always my favourite but without Jon, Doctor Who might never have lasted
Doogs McAuliffe Hi there Doogs - thatâs an interesting point about Pertwee boosting the showâs overall longevity! Thanks.
I agree with everything said on the excerpt. See also the influence of Quatermass 2 on Spearhead from Space ; Inferno; The League of Gentlemen; and Sherlock- The Hound of Baskerville.
Love this era. The most human like doctor. Alas the good old days.
MultiShriek Hey there! It is indeed a lovely era, with a very distinct atmosphere all of its own.
remember watching these on the Set a couple of years ago now how Time flys It felt only yesterday I was watching season 10
Love Jon Pertwee. just received my season 8 boxset . I recently bought a 20th anniversary annual as a replacement for one I had many years ago and lost. To my surprise (no mention of it on the ebay listing) I found autographs from John Levine, Anthony Ainley and Jon Pertwee himself. Pertwee had also drawn a ,moustache on his photo in black felt tip.
Wowww, what a wonderful surprise, eh?
got my boxset early....its lovely.....pertwee was pure class and one all time favourites
Mark Daniel Mooney Yes, Pertwee is certainly well up there for me. And I love the fact that his era is such a monster-fest.
Pertwee, was the greatest doctor of alltime
Hi! I can totally see that point of view. An awesome Doctor for sure.
Please tell me 2:04 was edited for the blu-ray with the gellguards materialisation noises. Jon was and is my Doctor, and for my money his era is by far the most consistently good in terms of story quality. Miss him terribly.
Pertwee was my favorite
Perfectly understandable! đđ
I adore Jon Pertwee as the Doctor, second only to Patrick Troughton. Tom Baker is a close third. Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith, William Hartnell, Christopher Eccelston, Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy and David Tennant round the top ten.
Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Always so interesting to see someone's fave Doctors ranked. I should try putting my own fave doctors in a list like this - can't be easy!
Great John Pertwee Doctor Who box set great stories I am a bit bias because he is my favourite doctor đđ
Hey there Paul - glad you like a bit of Pertwee! Who doesn't, eh? Always a pleasure. :) And yes, this is a fine box set!
Jon asked them how he should play it and THEY tod him to play it as himself, the clothing was a joke for promo photos and they liked it according to Jon who had just grabbed items and finally he was the second choice for the part which he found out when he asked him manager to call about him getting the part.
Azphreal Hi! Thanks for commenting. I love that this is sufficiently long ago for there to be different versions of various stories!
@@jarnopp That information came from interviews with Jon.
Azphreal đ An interview source doesnât necessarily mean itâs true, although in Jonâs case Iâd certainly like to think it was! đ
Oh, absolutely! The Pertwee era has Quatermass vibes writ large! As for Jon's Doctor himself, just before he came on screen in 1970, my father died and I was only seven. Jon became like a Saturday teatime father figure for me and there were several lines in those stories that struck true for me ever since and his characteristic trait of impatience when it come to arrogant self-deifying politicians and his stance of science over mysticism. The strong storytelling of that period under the reign of Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks are a favourite of mine, onward into the Tom Baker era. The first books that I bought and read were under the authorship of Terrance Dicks or Bill Strutton or Mac Hulke. Well written!!
Edit: Lol! I've only just realized that I've recommented! This came up on my recommendations and I thought it was new! Just found the date!
I can never see too many comments like this.đđđ Thank you!
Jon is far and away my favourite Doctor, but then he was 'my Doctor', as my age dictates.
Hi Peter! Was Jon also your first Doctor? I do feel that we tend to attach ourselves to the first. :)
Definitely my favourite Doctor - he must've been re-run when I was a kid or something and I took to him in a way I never did with any of the others. Totally get that 'Grandad you wish you had' vibe.
Yeah! Poshest and most aikido-friendly grandad ever. đđ
That was a great video. You deserve more subs
Zorion Hey, thanks very much! Thatâs nicely encouraging. Itâs possible that the âvarietyâ nature of the channel works against the subs thing - hard to tell!
Good video Look forward to more
Belated thanks for these kind words! :)
jon wasa my first dr who n was very gd, i thought liz? was vhis first assistant?, i remembr jon very well! n ven sarah n jon calling sarah jo in one episode, haha. hard 4 me 2 choose between jon n tom, both so gd.
Grew up with Tom Baker and Peter Davidson, but Jon Pertwee is my second favorite Doctor of all time and there is little in it between Pertwee and Baker.
Hey, thanks for commenting! But if you had to choose ONE, ONLY ONE, from between Pertwee and Baker? :D
@@jarnopp Only 1? Then its Tom Baker. But by the slimmest of margins.
If I rated Doctors out of 100, Tom Baker would be 100, Jon Pertwee would be 99.
Jon is one of my favourite Doctors. Up there with Hartnell.
Absolutely, David. A classic Doctor! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey, I have a crosley just like you do except I don't have a Cyberman head on top of mine.
Hehe, awesome! đđ
I just started watching for the first time in my life at age 50 here in the USA, now watched Seasons 1-19. Although I am of the same personality as Jon as well as a retired Navy Chief, I feel Troughton is an amazing Doctor because he had it all... humor, charm, passion and empathy for his companions. Jon is a close second and his work was also amazing but I have him 1B to Troughton's 1A. Tom Baker was also very good, but I feel he got a bit too angry in many stories near the end and his companions nor the UNIT personnel didn't get the same nice sendoffs the others did. Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton to me were the VERY BEST of Doctor Who so far.
Great comment, thanks. It's never too late to get into Doctor Who! đđ
@@jarnopp Thank you!!
Who is your favourite doctor?
Has to be Tom Baker. My first and forever the best!
@@jarnopp and of course he has a brilliant voice
Jon
Love the Sisters t shirt
nigel phillips Haha, very well-spotted indeed.
My sister absolutely loved the Jon Pertwee era, but she had a nightmare as a kid, I think it was to do with one of the episodes, where the world was overrun with dinosaurs, and my sister & my dad ran & hid in a cave, & my dad had a button that could get rid of the dinosaurs with one simple push, but he refused because he thought the dinosaurs were fascinating.
floyd75dylan Haha - thatâs a wonderfully detailed dream! Did she wake up thinking it had been entirely real? đ
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession
I think she was more relieved than anything that it was just a dream, but it didnât stop her from watching more Doctor Who.
floyd75dylan Haha. Now thatâs the spirit!
Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor and is the best ever. Everything just seemed to be perfect. The hard hitting stories, the relationships with Jo Grant, Sarah-Jane and Unit, and as for Rodger Delgado as the Master pure brilliance. Jonâs portrayal never really changed from his first appearance to his last. Compare to Tom Baker who (apart from the stupid costume choosing bit in Robot) started off very good to being a bit pathetic and laughable at the end of his tenure.
Hi there Gavin! That's a lovely tribute to Pertwee. I can't agree with you on the downfall of Tom, but I certainly appreciate the Pertwee love! :D
Better than their own version of dr who.
oi fam tha blody video stahts at 1:44 govnah

all the doctors are great in their own way except Jodie's run sadly.
This is really hard to listen to with headphones man as you are only in the left speaker?
North Southy Hey there, thanks so much for letting me know. I did not realise this, and weirdly I have no idea why itâs happened. The other videos have me coming out of both speakers! Hmm.
@@jarnopp That's ok, maybe your mike plug wasn't all the way in or maybe you just need to pull it out a smidgen for full contact. This was happening to me one time with surround sound?
The Quatermass influence is fairly obvious but Moffat remains fairly thick. Gatiss, as usual, gets far closer to the truth.
The way it was.
There is no such thing as a bad third Doctor story, but of course it wasn't just Pertwee, it was Letts, Dicks, Courtenay, John, Manning, Delgado, Sladen, Holmes, Hulke etc.
Nice comment, thank you for watching!
@@jarnopp No problem. I appreciate your work.
jusdging what they produced I have a hard time believing they actually sat and watched classic doctor who lol.
