Four CD set. "I cross the void beyond the mind. The empty space that circles time... Eternal wisdom is my guide. I am the Doctor!" Edsel Records celebrates Jon Pertwee's flamboyant portrayal of the famous Time Lord, 55 years after he made his screen debut on 3 January 1970. Available on 4CD, with a beautifully illustrated cover, this set presents Jon Pertwee narrating two classic Doctor Who Target Books, an array of bonus Jon Pertwee audio appearances, and his own 1972 pop single, Who Is The Doctor? Doctor Who and the Curse of Peladon is Brian Hayles' abridged TV novelisation set on a medieval-style world, and Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks is Terrance Dicks's abridged adaptation of the Terry Nation adventure set on the jungle-like Spiridon. Bonus features are also included on each disc spanning the 1970s to the 1990s, including BBC radio interviews, a Goodwood Races sketch with Elisabeth Sladen, comedy featuring Mel Giedroyc, and tributes paid by family members and Doctor Who producers. Presented in a deluxe CD gatefold package, this includes a full colour booklet with cast, credits and tracklisting information. Accompanied by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's familiar Doctor Who theme, the Jon Pertwee Collection celebrates one of the most stylish, iconic and beloved Doctors of all.
