===Other roles=== Pertwee played the role of the Colonel in the [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] children's film ''[[One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing]]'' (1975). The following year, he voiced and appeared in the television advertisement that promoted the [[Green Cross Code]] by use of the [[mnemonic]] "SPLINK". Also in 1976, Pertwee starred with Australian singer [[Julie Anthony (singer)|Julie Anthony]] in a West End production of the musical ''[[Irene (musical)|Irene]]'' (originally 1919, revived Broadway 1973), playing the camp fashion-designer Madame Lucy (originally Liam O'Dougherty). The production opened at the [[Adelphi Theatre]], London, and enjoyed a run of more than 900 performances: Pertwee features on the cast recording album, produced by [[Norman Newell]] for [[EMI Records]] (EMC3139). He also voiced the character of "[[SuperTed|Spotty]]" in the cartoon series ''[[SuperTed]]'' (1983β86) and, in 1985, starred in ''Do You Know The Milkyway?'', a television adaptation of Karl Wittlinger's stage play in which Pertwee played Dr. Neuross and another nine characters. In 1992 he made an appearance in the final film in the ''Carry On'' series, ''[[Carry On Columbus]]'', as the Duke of Costa Brava. In 1995, he had the key voice of [[Death (Discworld)|Death]] and other voice characterisations in the PC and PlayStation renditions of ''[[Discworld (video game)|Discworld]]''. Also in 1995, he played General Von Kramer in the ''[[Young Indiana Jones Chronicles]]'' episode "Attack of the Hawkmen". Writing shortly before his death in 1996, Pertwee stated that while he enjoyed his association with ''Doctor Who'', he had perhaps spent too long in the title role. He believed that this led to the "ridiculous situation of people turning me down for parts because, they say, I am too well known as the Doctor."<ref name="Memoir123">{{cite book |last1=Pertwee |first1=Jon |last2=Howe |first2=David J. |title=I am the Doctor: Jon Pertwee's Final Memoir |date=1996 |publisher=Virgin Publishing |location=London |isbn=1-85227-621-5 |page=123}}</ref> He observed that after he left the show he only ever worked in a BBC drama on one occasion, which was the role of "an aging Basque arsonist and pornographer" in an episode of the 1992 series ''[[Virtual Murder (TV series)|Virtual Murder]]'', titled "A Torch for Silverado". He considered this to be one of "the best things I've ever done".<ref name="MemoirVM">{{cite book |last1=Pertwee |first1=Jon |last2=Howe |first2=David J. |title=I am the Doctor: Jon Pertwee's Final Memoir |date=1996 |publisher=Virgin Publishing |location=London |isbn=1-85227-621-5 |pages=123β124}}</ref>
