Jon Pertwee was quite simply a star. From vaudeville, through theatre, radio in The Navy Lark, films, records and television, including Doctor Who and Worzel Gummidge, he entertained audiences worldwide for over fifty years.

Recorded at Jon’s home in 1989, this interview by Nicholas Briggs provides the most comprehensive visual biography of this talented and versatile entertainer ever recorded.

This is not a tribute… it’s a personal testament.

The Doctor and Peri are stuck on a mud.spitting planet as former gunrunner Saraz Jek faces off against the forces of a corrupt President. Normally, that's bad enough. But this time, the Doctor and Peri learn they are dying, and the cure is beyond their reach. After this, at 12:42AM, KTEH will air "Mythmakers: Jon Pertwee", a special that probably focuses on his Doctor Who years..
