This fantastic double audio cassette plays tribute to the man famous to millions for his portrait as Dr Who, Worzel Gummiodge, Commander High Price and hundreds of other characters in a career that spanned sixty years. He joined a circus and was an actor in rep, before he served in naval intelligence during the war. He made his name on radio in comedy series such as Waterlogged Spa and The Navy Lark, which ran for 18 years. He starred in the West End and on Broadway an appeared in 120 films including several of the Carry On series. On television he played Doctor Who, for five years and then enchanted a generation of children as Worzel Gummidge. Before his death in May 1996, at the age of 76, he had been touring Britain with his one man show Who Is Jon Pertwee? He was a brilliant raconteur and this recording provides a unique opportunity to share the audience’s obvious delight at the many hilarious stories and anecdotes about his life and career. It is a lasting tribute to a great character actor, and a great character.
