[edit] Place of Death
There seems to be some dispute regarding that, i.e. some media glitch at some point .. I've seen reports claiming he died in Conneticut and claims he's died in New York. Outpost Gallifrey and IMDB backing New York, Daily Telegraph claiming Conneticut. I *think* I recall it being on one of the DVD commentaries too as New York, but I'm not sure there. Anyone have any info on this/how so many sources got this wrong, whatever the correct might be? I would suggest leaving it at just United States till one report is entirely discredited .. though I will not make this edit, not knowing if one of the reports is discredited or not.

Some of the confusion probably comes from the fact that CT and NY are just next to each other. Pertwee was on holiday in NY, but could conceivably have while staying overnight in CT. I am inclined to accept the CT location myself, as New York seems to me more like a generic location, where CT is too specific to be a mistake. --khaosworks|talk 09:26, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jon
Right then. I will give five English pounds to the first person who can explain why he changed his name from John to Jon. Was there another John Pertwee? Was it just a whim? Did he legally change his name, or did his friends continue to call him John? When I think of the name Jon I think of Jon from the 1980s comic strip sensation Garfield and also Jon Anderson of the 1980s power-pop band Yes, which means that Pertwee was ahead of the curve somewhat. As for the discussion above, given that he was a universe-spanning Time Lord we could just put "he died on Earth in the 20th century". -Ashley Pomeroy 11:53, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Who Is The Doctor?" or "I Am The Doctor"?
I notice that in the article, hsi single is titled as "Who Is" when I've always heard that it is called "I Am". Can someoen clear that up, and if possible, upload a cover or label image? It would be a nice addition to the article. --24.47.147.176 18:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] other TV shows
I am sure Jon Pertwee also starred in a TV series called "Misleading Cases" - hilarious. Should this not be discussed in an article on Pertwee?
