Jon Pertwee 1982 

A legend sadly missed. Rest well Jon

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Pure genius, loved Worzel as a kid.

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

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

Worzel was an absolute gem, I grew up watching this, will always have a place in my heart, amazing actor! I just love him!💛👌

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.

His son Shaun looks a lot like him , loved watching worzel gummidge as a kid , it was compulsive viewing !

I loved this man as a child. Dr Who and Worzel great stuff

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

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

Amazing that he would have been 100 this year.

I love jon pertwee as worzel gummidge im a 11years old rip jon pertwee

The word legend is given out to most actors nowadays ,but he truly was ,you cannot imagine anyone else playing that part as well as he did ,RIP from my happy childhood ,you were were a big happy part of it .

Fantastic actor.

what a man fab actor amazing human being

The Great Jon Pertwee as Worzel and as the Doctor sadly soley missed RIP

this dude was so talented. I loved worsel G. in the early 80's. all the different heads he had 10/10 absolute genius

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.

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?

Thank you. Never seen this before.

I've never even watched Dr Who but I could sit and listen to this guy woffle on all day about it

Great interviewee - and while at work. Class act from a golden era.

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

I grew up near the barns and used to love watching them film Worzul gummage, great memories.

My first Doctor Who, 👍

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

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

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

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

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 💓

My childhood. Never forget those wheat eyebrows.

My favourite Doctor Who the third and amazing stories

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

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

Love Jon pertwee genius RIP

That interviewer made my toes curled

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

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

great actor

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.

what a legend!!

Legend r.i.p

he was the best cant beat him ,classic actor

Legend ❤🤴🏻

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

1982s New Romantic fashion being modeled by John Pertwee.

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

legend!!

Jon Pertwee was a great actor. Truly brilliant

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.

Thanks for sharing this

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

Total legend 👍

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....

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

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

Brilliant!

Legendary..

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.

This is fantastic 😚

13:10 oh absolutely not! No-one could play Worzel Gummidge other than you sir!

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

A legend. A true professional.

Amazing

The best worzel ever.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Glad the Australians said yes to “Worzel Gummidge: Down Under” (1987-1988)

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

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

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…

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!

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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qd6tB29s4w4.html

i just came to detox myself from the new worzel gummidge

"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!

Little bit of triva, Pertwee had not yet been fitted for the Gummidge costume at this point. lol

13:08 nope not wrong lol

Shame he's not still around.

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.

No Italiano???

I'm not keen on the recent Worzel he will always be unique. Been watching recently on a sky channel.

He hasn’t made any effort for this interview. He could have showered at the very least.

I always hated the Daleks as well

The interviewer is terrible

The interviewer clearly knows nothing about Jon Pertwee's role in Dr Who or any other of his achievements ..he's an embarrassment, Jon however, is brilliant. I'm fascinated by the 5/6 alternating timing of the theme music though :-)

Jon put that boring little man straight a few times…….😤
