Pertwee is strangely modest. He maintains he's a 'jobbing actor' thinking about lunch on the set of the Green Death, but the way he played and owned the part meant everything. His Doctor was one of my earliest heroes.
Me too. I grew up in the NYC area. We were lucky. First we WOR TV 9, WLIW 21, WNJN and most definitely WNYC TV 31 broadcasting DR. Who, Blake's 7, The Prisoner, Red Dwarf, Blackadder.
I would have been nervous but excited to have met Sarah Sutton at that convention. Nyssa is my favorite Fifth Doctor companion and one of my favorite companions overall.
interesting to see the actors interviewed before the 'legacy' of Who really existed and their attitudes to their part in the show at that time. Though actually in more recent interviews their answers and opinions are pretty much the same as they were back then. Great Doc. (a doc on the doc, eh?)
I remember so much of this in my deep dreams and childhood brain cells from 80s reruns of it on my local PBS station. I'm sure i taped it on Betamax as well. But it's like i could sing along with Tom Baker telling the story of how he got his Doctor Who role. "And I knew his wife quite well". Heh heh heh "No. Not in the biblical sense."
Great doco. It's a treat to see interviews of the classic cast & crew, as well as other Sci-Fi icons. It was also interesting to see early American fans of Doctor Who.
I just watched the Gogglebox Australia reaction to Doctor Who. They ripped into it. Now I think they chose mostly moronic people to watch it and that there are Aussies with great taste out there.
