Best Doctor that played Worzel for sure.

Nowhere near the best

Tom Baker was always my favourite Doctor Who.....jellybaby anyone.....😁

@@HCProds1 Best doctor and best series without a doubt !

Definitely !

@@oscarwilde5473 - Thank you Mr Wilde, I’m honoured!

100mph in a 3 wheeler... now that's brave and of course would only have ever have been conducted on a private road.

Fixed it.

Actually it wasn't the BBCs car; it was Jon himself who commissioned and had it built... Mainly because he wanted to get it into Doctor Who. According to one of the DVD documentaries he showed up at the studio one day and parked it so it could be seen from the Who offices hoping to catch Barry Lett's attention.

@@AtheistOrphan There's always one...

That theme is certainly iconic, it doesn’t really transport me though as I hear it most days, courtesy of the awesome work from Big Finish.

Looks like the kind of car Homer Simpson would design. If you remember that episode.

Actually, it reminds me more of Gerry Anderson’s Supercar.

Me too great times

Me too, I include William Hartnell on my resume too.

was indeed

Yes you did. Special shout out to Petra. I miss the pets from Blue Peter as much as I miss the presenters.

But what about Rolf and Saville? Why did you chose to be born when they were popular? Bad person.

I know, it takes me right back to the excitement I felt when our catalogue arrived twice a year and saw the latest styles! :-D Even though I preferred the toys!

He used to be a companion of the first Doctor!

@@traceya9615 Kays, Grattan and Littlewoods. We had them all too. What a lovely flashback. 👍

He didn’t mention pandemics, transgenderism, climate change, diversity or even touch on white privilege and slavery. Those heady days before state sponsored propaganda programs for children, of course we now have the One Show that does all those things.

Was this reply necessary?

@@photosphotos he also didn't comment on identifying as a plant pot.

@@WringtonGamer that’s very true or a scarecrow

@@photosphotos No, he didn't mention any of those things. You did.

Yes, Pertwee was the best… and Jo was my fav assistant

Agreed - and the 'Earth - based' episodes he starred in, set in the 70s supposedly to save money on sets - turned out to be some of the best. -as for the car, it's reg. is listed on DVLA as a 'Whomobile Alien' although untaxed since 1997.. "The vehicle was not created for Doctor Who, but was personally commissioned by Jon Pertwee, who retained possession of it after his tenure as the Doctor. Pertwee gave it the name "Whomobile" during press interviews, but it was also known - again, off-screen - as "Alien". Had the vehicle been named in Doctor Who, it almost certainly would not have been called "the Whomobile", as this violated producer Barry Letts's strong conviction against making plays on the programme's title. The Doctor Who Technical Manual referred to it simply as "the Doctor's Car." In spite of this, the name was indeed given as "the Whomobile" in the audio drama featuring Pertwee and Elisabeth Sladen, Glorious Goodwood. This was much later reaffirmed in Bessie Come Home. The Whomobile (reg: WVO 2M) was one of Jon Pertwee's personal vehicles. He retained possession of it until nearly the end of his life. The Whomobile was hastily written into the script of Invasion of the Dinosaurs, where it replaced an army motorcycle as the Doctor's transport around the deserted London. The Whomobile's roof/door section had not been completed at the time of filming, so a motor-boat windscreen was fitted to make the car legally roadworthy. The vehicle was classified technically as an "Invalid Tricycle". When Pertwee demonstrated the vehicle to Peter Purves on the 5 November 1973 edition of Blue Peter during his tenure, he revealed that the vehicle was roadworthy and legal, though he mentioned that the BBC forbade him or any of the production crew from removing it from the studios except for outside shoots. It was capable of a top speed of 105 mph (roughly 169 km/h). Footage of this is available on the DVD release of Invasion of the Dinosaurs and the Season 10 Blu-ray. An extra on The Three Doctors DVD reveals Jon Pertwee introduced it on Blue Peter prior to its debut." - from TARDIS.fandom.com

@@paulcornwell9207 totally agree 👍

He is and always will be Worzel Gummidge to me.. Tom Baker was my first Doctor Who. When I saw the reruns of Pertwee as the Doctor, I kept imagining he would say “Oh, Aunt Sally”, and Una Stubbs would saunter in.

@@memsom yep, loved worzel and Co, tv series wasn’t true to the books but it was still good, I watch it on KZfaq sometimes, the modern version with Mackenzie Crook isn’t anywhere near as good, still watchable though.

The twinchin screeews

The car lived on. I saw it in Newcastle city centre about 20 years ago. It looked in good nick, and the driver seemed to be enjoying it. It seemed to be fine in a busy city centre, with no sign of it being difficult to drive.

@@BungleBare its still listed on the DVLA database as a whomobile, but not been taxed for a few years

@@russthebiker It's probably classed as an Historic now so Tax and MOT free. But I have a feeling its probably in some Auto Museum, somewhere. ???

@@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 you still have to tax the car online, although its is free to do so. otherwise you SORN it

It's because he designed it to be road legal and just had it shoehorned into the show after he'd already got it 😂

@@DevilboyScooby I know, I was joking in the context of the Dr Who character not the actor driving it about London being playboy. 😃

The Pertwee Doctor Who era was largely set in a near-future Britain, when The Doctor was exiled to earth by the Timelords, and got a job with U.N.I.T. In that context, even if The Doctor made himself a car, it would still need to be road legal; something Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart would no doubt have insisted on, given it would be driven by a U.N.I.T. employee. The Doctor had previously made Bessie to get himself around in, and that was road legal too.

Jason 1964-76 Petra 1962-77 Patch 1965-71. What a team they were.

The Drassigs scared the living daylights out of me as a child.

sea devils spooked me as a 5 year old

@@bonysminiatures3123 Yeah! They were scary too!

@@redpillnibbler4423 What were they?

@@DracapellaDeetz They were in The Carnival of Monsters.

And the chassis is from a Bond Bug

@@ChrisHopkinsBass Ah, that makes sense now - thanks - any idea what the engine was please? I thought they'd covered the noise up when it entered because it sounded weak or something, but when he started it up to leave it sounded quite nice actually!

@@phillipbailey70 Hillman Imp .

@@DaveJudd Gosh I haven't seen one of those in years! Thank you very much for the reply 😎

No chance of driving it now with all the speed bumps we have on the roads these days.

OK for escaping daleks though!

@@johno4521 LOL, perfect :)

The studio had a smooth surface, and the petrol fumes must've been a real thrill to sniff...

@@jamesmacleod671 You must have missed the part when it mentions it can fly

Imagine Jon's Doctor and Worzel appearing in a show together. I think that would have worked! Dr: I see what we have here; you're a Borgon, lost on Earth and hiding in plain sight as a scarecrow. Worzel: What the 'eck're ya yammin' 'bout? I've never 'eard of no Borgolls in all my life!

It would be interesting to know just where he took it for that 100mph jaunt

@@islingtonfreenewsmedia This was when metric was coming in - he meant 100 metres per minute.

Got quite a bit of ground effect, might not be that bad

@@tallthinkev Certainly better than a Reliant Regal (1973 was also Reliant's best sales year on record.)

He should concentrate on writing decent stories first, that's something that's been lacking for several years.

They need to revamp the stories too lol , a few where good but most where set Victorian England for some inexplicable reason

same here, just came up in my recommendations...wonder where it is now, if not crushed

a chap call Paul owns it

I am wondering if he meant miles or km. Since he said how many mpg it gets (50! That's impressive!), I assume he meant miles
