The most underrated doctor, Pertwee was such a madlad and badass. Imagine regenerating, complaining about shoes, then instead of being normal you pose as a military man taking a shower then steal a car then the best dialogue ever “I suppose you want to see my identification , well I haven’t got any, and I’m not telling you my name either, now you just tell brigadier lethbridge stewart I wanna see him” then before the guy can say anything “dont stand there arguing with me”. Then through your entire tenure you do nothing but throw hands. What a fucking crazy guy
@@Shadowkey392 When people talk about “the best” doctors they always throw around Baker, Smith, Tennant, Eccleston, and everyone always claims Capaldi is the best sheer actor. I never hear Pertwee in that tier
@@gf1006 In terms of his acting in the role, Jon was by far the most believable Doctor. There was never any caricature to the way he played the part, and it seems like he fought to keep out a lot of nonsense jokes and silliness which he felt undermined the suspension of disbelief. He was my Doctor, and he'd be the one whose hands you'd feel safest in.
Actually he couldn't even time travel! The Time Lords stranded him on Earth and disabled his TARDIS. He worked for UNIT and drove a car he called Bessie.
@@tristansteinbomer3256 Ah no you're right! Good catch. I guess more specifically, his inability to time travel for most of his run helped define his era lol
The irony here is that Peter Capaldi's doctor is very similar to Pertwee's because Peter was such a big fan of the Third Doctor (and is very good friends with Jon Pertwee's son, Sean). Peter even brought back Venusian Aikido for the 12th Doctor. Of all the modern doctor's, Peter's was really the only one who wasn't afraid to throw hands (9th Doctor could get physical when he had to, but nowhere to the extent of 3 or 12).
I’m only just now realising how similar the 12th Doctor is too the 3rd. Both have similar hair, the lining of 12 jacket is the same shiny red as 3s cape, and they both use Vinisian Akido
Pertwee was Peter's favorite growing up. He even got on friendly terms with Jon and his family near the end of his life. He and Sean Pertwee are bros to this day
@@tiffanyspencer1082 One of the inspirations for Bond. Fleming probably based Bond on a few different men, including his cousin, S.A.S Agent Christopher Lee.
Funny Story. During WWII when he worked in Naval Intelligence, he apparently once woke up from a night of drinking to find a cobra tattoo he didn't remember getting on his arm.
@@josephrobinette8609 look tom on one moment he can like a 12 year old giving out treats meanwhile he can also be like a pissed off 30 year old who abuses people for 10 years
Mentions of Venusian Karate and Aikido throughout Doctor Who: -Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee): As shown here where he KOs almost everyone -Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi): Disarms Robin Hood with a hand chop (Robot of Sherwood) and flips over an enemy (World enough and Time) -Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker): Stuns enemies (Ghost Monument and Kerblam)
The modern doctors have also done some pretty violent things, especially the tenth doctor. So the “I never would’ speech is pretty out of place even without classic who context
There’s actually a Big-Finish story explaining that the Second Doctor learned it while with Jamie and Victoria while visiting Venus it’s called Year of the Drex Olympics apparently the reason he wasn’t shown using it on TV was because he wasn’t finished learning it at the time

More like Austin Powers judo. 😂😂 It's clear they didn't have the budget to spend on decent fight choreographers or to train Pertwee that properly, so they just went with this, it's corny but it fits the tone of the series perfectly. The Dark Knight had reduced mobility in the suit, which is why the fighting style was so limited
the doctor: "I don't do violence" also, the doctor: *killed his entire race, used Venusian karate a lot of times, had a swordfight with the leader of a species wanting to take over 21st-century earth, etc*
Also new who doctors: gets into a swordfight, traps a family in an eternity of torture, destroys Pompeii, tricks an entire species into committing it’s own genocide, leaves a villain to die in a spaceship crash and punches a racist in the face
