Jon Pertwee (Doctor Who 3)
Whereas the first two Doctors generally insinuated themselves into events discreetly, the Third Doctor was a man of action, aggressively joining the fray whenever he could. This was a Doctor was unafraid to pitch in with his physical skills, often bringing his mastery of Venusian aikido into play when the situation called for it. But much like his predecessors, his keen mind was still his primary asset, and this was a Doctor who particularly loved to create and play with gadgets of all sorts. This passion displayed itself both in terms of the Third Doctor's scientific bent and in his love of vehicles, such as his yellow roadster Bessie and his ultramodern hovercraft, the so-called Whomobile. Staunchly moral to the point of being preachy, the Third Doctor was every bit the gentleman, a hero of the Victorian mould.
Jon Pertwee portrayed the Doctor from Spearhead From Space in January 1970 to Planet Of The Spiders in June 1974. He returned for The Five Doctors in November 1983 and Dimensions In Time in November 1993. Pertwee passed away in 1996.
