Jon Pertwee Tribute Video on KasterborousTV

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

It is, amazingly, 19 years since Jon Pertwee passed away, on May 20th 1996, just a few days before the broadcast of the Doctor Who TV movie starring Paul McGann.

Born in 1919, Pertwee led an incredible life, served in the armed forces, worked in intelligence, and entered showbusiness after the war. Our affection for the actor who made a huge impact on Doctor Who when the show switched to colour and an Earth-based setting, is based largely on just 5 years, from 1970-1974, yet his legacy lives on in the show, from the presence of UNIT to the use of monsters introduced during his time (such as the Autons, Silurians and Sontarans).

As part of our efforts to bring more original YouTube content to you, we chose Jon Pertwee as the subject of a brief musical slideshow: The Doctor.

Enjoy, and remember.
