Three of the Doctors have been featured in the episodes shown on stations of the University of North Carolina Center for Public Television. Tom Baker is the most familiar, with his long knitted scarf and passion for Jelly babies (jelly beans to us Yanks). Then came Peter Davison, known to many viewers for his portrayal of Tristan on All Creatures Great and Small. He Is the most recent actor to star in the series in England. This summer North Carolina became one of the first places in the country to air episodes starring Jon Pertwee who preceded Baker in the role in the early 1970's in England. Pertwee plays the doctor as a debonair sophisticate in evening clothes and cape. | Three of the Doctors have been featured in the episodes shown on stations of the University of North Carolina Center for Public Television.
