Jon Pertwee Trivia |
| |
Jon Pertwee: I like the best of everything.
| Jon is the cousin of Bill Pertwee.
| Following the instructions in his will, Jon was cremated with an effigy of the bumbling scarecrow, Worzel Gummidge (his favourite role) attached to his casket.
| During WWII Jon served in the RNVR as an officer. He was appointed to HMS Hood from which he was extremely fortunate to be returned to shore shortly before that vessel was sunk by the Bismark.
| Jon played 'Lycus' in the original stage production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Film role was given to Phil Silvers since Phil had greater name recognition internationally.
| Jon was considered for the role of 'Captain Mainwaring' in the BBC series Dad's Army (1968), which eventually went to Arthur Lowe.
| As a young man Jon was told several times that he would never become a successful actor, due to such problems as a partial lisp (speech defect) and a close resemblance to the American actor Danny Kaye.
| Jon Pertwee's brother, Michael Pertwee, also had a famous career; he was a writer of Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World and Return of the Saint.
| Jon made several appearances at scifi conventions in support of Doctor Who.
| One of Jon's ambitions was to appear in cameo roles in some of the big name movies.
