Editing Jon Pertwee (section)

===Later life===
Pertwee returned to the role of the Doctor in 1983 for the 20th-anniversary television special "[[The Five Doctors]]" and in the 1993 charity special ''[[Dimensions in Time]]'' for [[Children in Need]]. He also portrayed the Doctor in the stage play ''[[Doctor Who – The Ultimate Adventure]]'' which toured theatres in the United Kingdom from March to June 1989. During the 1990s, he made a guest appearance in the "Lords and Ladies" episode of the [[BBC Radio 4]] comedy series ''[[Harry Hill's Fruit Corner]]'', playing a [[Time Lord]] and also spoofed the role in the Radio 4 comedy ''The Skivers''. He also presented the ''Doctor Who'' video releases ''The Troughton Years'' (1991), showcasing selected [[Doctor Who missing episodes|surviving episodes]] of otherwise [[Lost television broadcast|lost]] stories, and ''The Pertwee Years'' (1992), the latter a look back at his time on the show, with three selected episodes.

In 1993, Pertwee was featured in the unofficial 30th anniversary VHS release entitled ''30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond''. When asked in an interview for this documentary if the show should be brought back he simply replied with "No, no", but believed if it did come back a lot more money would need to be spent on the series, along with a new production team. Pertwee would continue to act in films and television as well as make appearances worldwide in support of ''Doctor Who''. Ultimately, Pertwee was successful in seeing the Third Doctor return to the airwaves with two audio productions for [[BBC Radio]], ''[[The Paradise of Death]]'' and ''[[The Ghosts of N-Space]]''.

In April 1995, he appeared in ''[[Devious (Doctor Who)|Devious]]'', an amateur video drama set between the second Doctor's trial at the end of ''[[The War Games]]'' and before the start of ''Spearhead from Space''. It shows an interim Doctor (between second and third), played by Tony Garner, being told he was "never meant to be the Doctor" and that the third will complete him. Pertwee's scenes in that role were among the first pieces of the video that were released (on the DVD of ''The War Games''). In the same year, he starred in a one-man show called ''Who Is Jon Pertwee?''.<ref name="Cabell">{{cite book |last=Cabell |first=Craig |title=The Doctors Who's Who: The Story Behind Every Face of the Iconic Time Lord |publisher=John Blake Publishing Ltd |year=2013 |isbn=978-1782194712}}</ref>

Pertwee's final film role was in a short film entitled ''Cloud Cuckoo'' for Scottish Screen, released on 18 June 1994. His last formal television appearance was on [[Cilla Black]]'s ''[[Surprise, Surprise (TV series)|Surprise, Surprise]]'', broadcast on 21 April 1996, in which he appeared as the Third Doctor. At the time of his death, Pertwee was regularly being seen in the closing moments of a UK TV advert for mobile phone operator [[Vodafone]], dressed in the style of his version of the Doctor. This character walked wordlessly across Pilgrim Street, [[Liverpool]], entering a garage marked 'Doctor on Call' evidently containing some kind of time machine.
