The 3rd Doctor

"A young man in an old man- no, that's not it, an old man in a pastry chef's- a pantomime actor being a serial killer- errrrrrrr"- NPC print glitch

One day, Barry Letts was watching a James Bond film and thought "I can do that!". He then forgot about it and watched tv where he saw a generic base under siege serial. In a rare flash of genius, Barry conceived of uniting the two formats and slapping them onto the doctor who intellectual property. The next morning he headed to the BBC and got hassled by a tramp handing out communist flyers on the way. When he arrived at the offices, he found that very same tramp sitting behind the desk, who introduced himself as Terrance Dicks, who listened raptly to Barry's pitch and signed him on immediately. All that was needed was an actor, and the final piece of the puzzle was found when the two men had a giggle in the gents' toilets about Terrance's penis, which he nicknamed his "pert wee-wee". And thus the 3rd Doctor was born.

The worst doctor?
An opinion frequently parroted by people who have never watched more than 10 minutes of Classic Doctor Who is that Pertwee was the "worst" doctor, by whatever vague metric they can come up with.

"Formulaic writing"
The fixed setting of some of Pertwee's seasons enhance the feeling of repetitiveness in stories. If only the rest of Doctor Who wasn't just as unoriginal and derivative.

"Boring acting"
Go back to watching capeshit

"Padding"
Plotfags begone; but actually, most of the plots in the added serials are quite good, the back-and-forth element only really becoming a problem in the later seasons. Nothing gets atmosphere right quite like Pertwee who.
