Bill Pertwee

[Adam Hogg]

A sad moment was announced today (27th May) that Bill Pertwee has Died peacefully with his family around him. I am a fan of Bill Pertwee performance's in all the films and TV Series he was in, he was one of the best and he will be sadly missed, Rest In Peace Bill Pertwee.

Came from a theatrical family.

Pertwee (an Anglicised version of the true family name, Perthuis de Laillevault)

His cousin was Jon (Dr Who, Worzel Gummidge etc. etc.).

Best remembered to '60s radio listeners for his Seamus Android character (a thinly disguised send-up of Eamonn Andrews) in Round The Horne.
