Blimey, I remember watching that show : in it he reveals that a typographical error early on in his career led to him changing his name to Jon Pertwee - it had originally been John Pertwee, he said.

The This Is Your Life programme with Jon Pertwee no longer exists on video. However the whole programme exists on audio, as Jon Pertwee was presented afterwards with an LP recording of the show, along with the infamous red book. Audio cassettes taken from the LP record exist, although as I understand it the actual LP record was either stolen or lost at some point.
It is also worth considering that other missing This Is Your Life programmes, probably exist on audio on similar LPs, and could be in the possession of the 'victim' or members of their families.

That's right,Gordon. A few questions,if anyone can help: Any photo of a disc online? Is it obvious that they're with the book,or are they tucked away in the binding? Flexi-discs? Long-playing,but what size? Cheers. |
