Dr. Who Hog

Cory C. sent us photos with this note: These are pictures I took of my wife’s pet hedgehog, Pertwee. He is named for Jon Pertwee who played the third Doctor on Doctor Who in the 1970′s.

    Thanks for the second laugh this morning. First a Norse gods lesson, now a flashback to Doctor Who. And the resemblance is striking.

    Glad I’m not the only one that remembers John Pertwee. It’s an excellent pet name now that I see a Pertwee pet.

    Hehe, he looks so grumpy in that first pic.

  11. Firstly, I thought “why?”.

    then I knew. Genius.

    Sorry, I just don’t think he sticks the resemblance. No 10 here from this judge.

    Resemblance? I thought they were just different pics of the same guy!

  14. Singe says:

    Aw, one of my favorite Doctors! And that first pic is priceless. Don’t worry, Pertwee, your exile on Earth will end soon.

    That first one looks a lot more like Colin Baker’s Doctor #6.

  16. Ayeesha says:

      “It”s transdimensional engineering, a Time Lord discovery”–wow! Can’t wait to whip that out at the next boring c*cktail party.

    I’m not all Whovian but I do see the resemblance and I approve of this Hedgie’s Disapproval Factor.
