If Jon had lived a little longer, I imagine he would have done a few BFs.

I think Tim sounds more like the Third Doctor than Jon Pertwee did in his two radio stories. Blasphemy!

What I meant, rather disrespectfully, is that Jon's voice had aged so much by the time of his BBC Radio plays, that he had lost much of the edge it had during the early seventies - and Tim still has that vitality. I wish I hadn't posted that original post to be honest!

No, that is probably a fair assessment. I often wish Jon had been around at the start of BF as I'm 100% certain that Gary Russell would have produced some Third Doctor stories way better than the two BBC radio plays, even with an older sounding Jon Pertwee.

Absolutely agreed. My problem with the BBC radio plays were that they were nothing like the television show. It's as if they thought, "We don't have to worry about a budget, let's turn this into Indiana Jones (or something!)." Just because you can doesn't mean you should. So, while I recognised The Doctor, Sarah and the Brig (the latter less so in the second story), I couldn't relate to the scale of it all. This is something BF consistently get absolutely right. And I agree also that Jon would have loved to have been part of it all. In fact, he'd have insisted on it (not that he'd have had to)!

Agree, I think he'd have been the first on the phone the day after BF got the licence. Jon Pertwee was a radio star for decades - 'The Navy Lark' is only the most famous and long running of his shows and he was still making it while playing the Doctor. In the 1980s he played characters in early video game soundtracks too; he obviously loved voice acting and (as many have said on the DVD commentaries) also loved being part of a 'company' of actors. He would have been brilliant with BF. If only! Now, Tim Treloar is so good at channelling the tiny details of the Pertwee Doctor, voice and vocal mannerisms too. Listening to 'The Conquest of Far' there were moments with Katy and him that sounded so perfectly authentic, it could have been the soundtrack to a lost story. No doubt Jon Pertwee would be impressed (even if it was a Dalek story never his favourites), and flattered that his Doctor still receives so much attention. The attention he fully deserves imo!

Absolutely. I have a great affection for him; he was the first Doctor I remember watching, which is why I feel pretty bad for undermining him earlier. I even met Jon at an after-show signing during the one-man shows that turned out to be among the last things he did. He was signing a photo and his pen ran out! I remember that - but what a presence he had. Big, tall and striking, with that shock of white hair. Ah, memories!

Well, they might have coaxed a "younger" performance out of him, just compare Tom in the Nest Cottage productions compared to his current BF output, he's really on form.

The Philip Hinchcliffe Presents stories spring to mind in particular with how sharp his performance has become. I can still remember him snapping in The Devil's Armada to pull a woman being waterboarded out from the lake, his lament in the heat of (what is essentially) Hell, the ride in the jeep from Foe from the Future. He probably just needed to get back into the swing of things. In terms of Jon though, you only have to look at Devious from 1995. According to the commentary, he was apparently so energetic that he caused the back wall of the console room to wobble during the first take of his regeneration. Check it out: We really missed out on something special there, bless 'em. Actually, bless all our chaps and chapettes who loved the show as much as we did to turn up in all these fan-produced stories.

I really am excited about this. It's the closest to full cast "classic" era we get. Although Troughton EAs come very close. Well the ones with Jamie.
The second Doctor tales have always been an interesting animal as although I think Polly and Ben only stories have Polly or Eliot doing the Doctor Jamie stories feel very full cast.
We're very lucky in that regard. I think if they ever wanted to do a "full cast" troughton tale they'd just need to ask Fraser to be the Doctor.
But as much as I love CCs I feel them getting Tim was a great idea. The UNIT era is so action packed it's hard to imagine a CC styl e tale being the main range.
this will be my first fu ll box

I wonder if Jon Pertwee would have agreed to return for The Day of the Doctor had he still been alive?

Jon would have been in his mid-90's when The Day of the Doctor was made... but I'm sure he'd have felt left out if he wasn't involved!
