Reverse the Polarity - a day in the life of Jon Pertwee:

This video was released in 1999 and the interview with Pertwee took place in 1992 four years before his death in 1996.
Among the comments here is the revelation that Peter Bryant who was Doctor Who producer briefly at the beginning of the Pertwee era had intended, if he had stayed on, to make the Doctor very comic and have him playing a guitar (incidentally current Doctor Peter Capaldi was seen playing a guitar in a trailer of the upcoming season).
Perhaps understandably Pertwee says that he would have left the series if the Doctor was made that way.
