Fun Fact: he had an audition to be Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but he couldn’t since during that time he was still the Doctor. This man could’ve been Willy Wonka. *”Come with me, and you’ll be, in world of scientific safety violations!”*

[@gillyjames9609]

What a talented and naturally funny man he was, and sadly missed. I had the good fortune to meet him twice in his Worzle Gummidge guise, with my little boy who hero worshipped him. Once at Shrewsbury Flower show where my 2 year old son asked 'Where's Turnip Head?' and Worzle replied 'Oh, he's gone up to the great compost heap in the sky!' Then we saw him again as Worzle, at the Liverpool Garden Festival. After some photos together - I joined him for a cup of tea and asked when the next series is due. He said 'That's what I want to know!'.. he then stated that there were talks of it being done in New Zealand, but he seemed very unhappy about it at that time. I was so lucky to have met him and talked with him. I have always been a fan of his work, and stopped watching Dr Who when he finished his turn at the role. God bless you Jon xx

[@SpeccyMan]

A real fan would know it is spelled Worzel!

[@ianphilip3915]

My first memory of Jon was in the radio programme The Navy Lark which ran from 1959 to 1967 and he was CPO Pertwee. Excellent show!

[@picmajik]

I was fortunate enough to see Jon Pertwee a number of times at conventions in the 80s. He was a fabulous storyteller as well as being charming to fans even at the signing tables later. He would pull out the voices and characters to the delight of all. I miss seeing his interviews; he always had a great time.

[@gazgandalf5358]

Working in a Hotel near the Humber Bridge early 80's and Jon Pertwee (who was really tall) came in dressed as Worzel Gummidge. He heard there was a Wedding going on in and went down and into the gathering making everyone's day by doing 'Worzel.' I'd met a few famous faces in Catering, but none as pleasant to meet as Jon Pertwee, who made a lot of people happy that day and added something special to a Wedding Party. He seemed to be a genuine Gent.

Did anyone else notice how much like Patrick Troughton he looks in the final clip with Wogan? I remember reading his autobiography over 30 years ago "Moon Boots and Dinner Suits" which was very interesting ...... we remember him now as the 3rd Doctor Who but his background was fascinating .... he was a regular stand up comedian at one point which is totally forgotten now. During the war I believe he was part of the crew of the battleship HMS Hood but, being under 18, was amongst those taken off on the orders of its Captain before it went looking for the German cruiser Bismark. On that mission the Hood went down with the loss of almost the entire crew.

[@StephenDHenderson]

Sorry don't see the resemblance myself. Yes he was on the Hood, but was transferred days before it went down to the navy broadcasting service. I've a copy of his one-man show I'm always telling myself I'll put up. He tells the story in that.

Years ago Jon Pertwee did a side-splittingly hilarious BBC Radio 4 programme. I forget the name of the series. It was one where famous people chose readings and told anecdotes. One of his funniest was about an old lady who stopped him on the street and said she recognised him as someone famous. When he tried to tell her who he was she kept stopping him, saying that she would remember. Who did she think he was? Answer: Dame May Whitty!
