I read this recently, as it's been reprinted by Fantom Films. Really enjoyable account of Pertwee's early life (basically through his late twenties and World War Two).

Barry Letts used to suggest that Pertwee's anecdotes varied from exaggeration to total fabrication, but damn! the man could really spin a yarn. I'll go so far as to admit this is the only book that ever kept me on the bog until me legs fell asleep.

Anyway, that's my hearty endorsement of a book I wasn't sure I would even like.

Is still a bit too pricey for me, however I found elisabeth sladen's autobiography for £1.79 for kindle. Sorry, can't link as on mobile

Yes I have also bought the reprint of Jon's book. havn't read it yet as I've just finished the Biography of Patrick Troughton that his son has written. I've also got a copy of Jon's last book "I am the Doctor" I bought it years ago for a fiver. It's worth a lot more than that now - if you can find one !

Yes, I bought one for ... erm, considerably more than that!

Thanks for the tip
