6. Who Is The Doctor - Jon Petwee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLXOO9PnnMQ Here's a song by the actual Doctor himself. Yes, Jon Petwee put out his own record in which he "sings" over the main theme music - although "sing" is a bit of a stretch here. The song was first released in 1972 and the theme arrangement was made by Frazer Hines, suggesting that they clearly they didn't learn from his previous Doctor Who musical endeavours. Maybe they just wanted to give him a second chance, and he didn't do too badly, really. Its B-side, Pure Mystery, another spoken-word "song" by Pertwee, had no connection to Doctor Who whatsoever but it's still worth a listen if you like that sort of thing.

Joel Cornah, is an author hailing from a small isolated village in Lancashire.
Having told stories of dinosaurs, penguins and dragons to his younger siblings for nigh on two decades, it soon became apparent that these tales needed to be written down. Gathering the myriad of maps, family trees, illustrations and noted ideas, he began work on the world of dyngard. Having grown along with the audience from a collection of loosely related children’s stories, it became a whole world of adventure, magic and questions.
He was awarded a degree in Creative Writing from Liverpool John Moors University and spent seven years writing a comical newspaper for The Barrow Downs Tolkien discussion forum.
Currently running a charity café in Parbold village, Joel is often found deep in discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the long history of Doctor Who, and desperately trying not to frighten people away. Often with limited success.
