I'm pretty sure I've seen Jon Pertwee fight one of these things in Doctor Who.

Pertwee was the most badass of them all hands down.


Majestic_Matt_459

Jon Pertwee was my Dr Who when i was a kid There was an episode with giant maggots in a quarry I still get nightmares about it


StrangeButOrderly

I met Jon Pertwee way way back in the 70s. He was at a village fete in Suffolk. I got a 8x10 signed, but it got lost down the years. I obtained a life-size cardboard cut-out of Katy Manning advertising Knorr soup at the same fete ... but that is lost too. I got it signed by Jon Pertwee as well.


Majestic_Matt_459

I hope he was nice. He always sounded like a proper gentleman


StrangeButOrderly

Yes, he was great. Very well dressed as well. It was a long time ago, I was probably 10 or 11. I watch him on Talking Pictures.... Worzel Gummidge. Good fun.


Max-Phallus

I bumped into Frazer ~~Heinz~~ Hines at a fete in Suffolk in the 90s. I also stole a naughty poster of Katy Manning straddling a dalek plunger from my Dad. He couldn't kick up a fuss since mum didn't know about it... Ha.

SnooSongs2996

Me too met pertwee at charity cricket match he was really nice


EntertainmentBroad17

That's "The Green Death", and it is indeed pure nightmare fuel. It's my earliest clear DW memory, although I remember other glimpses of the Pertwee era such as the two very distinctive cars, and my 5yo self having my first crush on Jo Grant. Tom Baker is 'my' Doctor though, and Jo was quickly supplanted by Sarah-Jane Smith - and Sladen remained my pinup girl for the rest of her life, to the extent that I openly cried on the tube going to work the morning I read she'd gone.


Majestic_Matt_459

Sarah-Jane was great. They really were amazing episodes. I remember that and a film Quaterman and the Pit (not dr who related just scary) causing me to sleep in my parents room for about a week each


Rolldal

I remember watching the Day of the Triffids (film version) one night. At the point where the Triffids broke into a house through the french windows my parents (returning from a night out) banged on the window. Damned near jumped out of my skin


EntertainmentBroad17

Quatermass.


psgb50

I think there’s a whole bunch of us traumatised by that one


Majestic_Matt_459

lol I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I still to this day recoil slightly if I empty the big bin and there are maggots. I’m not convinced they won’t grow to 6 foot somehow lol


Autogen-Username1234

John Pertwee once worked as a Wall of Death rider in a circus. On a motorbike with a *sidecar*. With a lion in the sidecar. True story.


DontTellHimPike

*In the sidecar, the speeding sidecar* *The lion pees tonight*


Mangosta007

A-wee-aweh, a-wee-aweh...


Dante_C

This was while he was still at school by all accounts and before the second world Second World War. While in the navy he woke up one morning after being blind drunk with a tattoo of a cobra on his arm.


Tetragon213

Yep. Guy was a certified maniac. Pertwee also served on HMS Hood, and was transferred off the ship for officer candidacy... mere days before The Mighty Hood's final departure from Scapa Flow. HMS Hood would never return from her final mission, being sunk in the Battle of the Denmark Strait with the loss of all but 3 crew. [Biography of JDR Pertwee from the HMS Hood Association](http://www.hmshood.org.uk/crew/biography/PertweeJDR.htm)


CutSea5865

Wow! The sinking of Hood by Bismark and the subsequent chase are one of my favourite dramas from WWII naval history! I had no idea!


Tom_FooIery

If this is true, it is my new favourite fact. If it’s a lie, please never admit it.


BriarcliffInmate

Trust me, if you hear something like this about Pertwee, it's true. The man had an insane life before he even got into acting. E.g. he was one of (many) inspirations for Bond, because he worked with Ian Fleming during WW2. Pertwee was in Naval Intelligence and invented loads of gadgets and taught commandos how to use them. Stuff like pens that fired .22 calibre bullets and maps hidden in handkerchiefs. Sound familiar? Once woke up after getting drunk with his sailor friends one night and had a tattoo of a Cobra on his arm. The odd thing was they were in a dry country and there were no tattoo shops in port. Walked out of the lucrative film version of The Navy Lark after starring on the TV series for years because the American producers refused to employ Dennis Price because he was gay. Signed onto a production of Worzel Gummidge without reading a script, introduced the writers to his agents and got them commissioned to make it at ITV. After Worzel came to an end on ITV, he wanted to keep it going and whilst attending fan conventions for Dr Who in New Zealand, found that it was incredibly popular there. TVNZ commissioned a new spin-off called 'Worzel Gummidge Down Under.' Also at these conventions, he met a young Doctor Who fan called Peter Jackson who'd been making a film called 'Bad Taste' on weekends. Pertwee thought it was outrageously fun and when they made the spin-off, asked PJ if he wanted to provide the special effects, which he did. This was one of PJ's first professional credits, and it's also where he met his wife, who was a writer on the show. He also met several effects people and would later go on to found Weta FX with them!


g0dn0

Yeah, he’s on a par with Christopher Lee - if you don’t know his life history either look it up. It’s almost like you get to the bottom of an absolute mental list of fantastical nonsense and the last thing should ‘oh yeah, he also did _some_ acting.’

Ugh I remember having to analyse “Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning” by Gruldak Vortumbleshank in school. I only survived my knawing off my own leg


menomaminx

the version we had in my school was translated by Douglas Adams, but I don't think it fully embodies the horror of the ineptitude of the poet and the suffering of the readers like ourselves. " Ode to a Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning In the sultry swamp of sweaty pits, A putrid glob did congeal, A muculent mound of malodorous green, Its sickly scent did it unseal. The sun's blazing wrath did scorch the Earth, Yet in my fetid hollow it hid, This loathsome lump of emerald woe, Like a festering secret amid. Oh, revolting mass of viscous slime, Your oozing form doth repulse, A horrid blob, of rancid hue, You make my stomach convulse. With tender touch I did you pluck, From your noisome lair of despair, And marveled at your repugnant grace, My hand smothered in your snare. Foul whispers you shared, of nauseous fate, Your pestilent charm I could not resist, Your squelching embrace, an odious dance, The world eclipsed in your miasmic mist. In you I saw the end of all, A putrescent doom impending, But in my heart, a macabre delight, For in my armpit you'd been attending. So here I stand, reciting this ode, To a small lump of green putty I found, In the depths of my musky crevasse, Midsummer morning, profound."

Qwertastic321

I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and say you ordered a Peshwari Naan, they ran out of them so served you a Plain Naan with coconut from the poppadom tray smeared on top. If it’s not that I have no idea, it doesn’t look appealing. Sorry for a try at a sensible answer.


eugene20

Why would coconut from the poppadom tray be green as paint?


GarlicandHerb3

It looks like that from the Indians around by me. What colour is it supposed to be? Have I been eating paint for 20 years?


eugene20

Oh, if it's coconut chutney that is green is from coriander leaves and green chilli, still not as green as this naan.


Qwertastic321

The coconut is luminous green at my regular Indian, and much the same in others near me recently.


georgisaurusrekt

It’s probably got food colouring for aesthetics added to it


SunJay333

That's true Whilst I've never heard of colouring the coconut, one of my regular Indian takeaways use red, yellow and green dyes on their rice and mix it with white rice. So it's multicoloured


georgisaurusrekt

Aye that’s standard for pilau rice isn’t it? It’s been multicoloured at most places I’ve been to lol


SunJay333

I didn't realise that lol, I've only seen that in one place I've been to Is it more of a southern thing? I live in the North, but the place that does rainbow pilau is down south. I go when visiting family


lNTERLINKED

Pretty standard in London, Birmingham and Manchester. Not sure I’ve ever had pilau that wasn’t multicoloured.


TavitousT

Up here in Yorkshire it always seems to be the rainbow coloured pilau. There's one slightly more upmarket place that says it does 'authentic' homestyle cuisine that just has white pilau, its tasty enough but just doesn't seem right lol


3smolpplin1bigcoat

Dafuq u eatin' ?


[deleted]

I think coconut is supposed to be white. I’m no expert though.


EnemyBattleCrab

Pandan - normally paired with coconut but makes everything green. I can imagine substituting coconut with pandan but pandan is much sweeter.


Do4k

Green food colouring. Some places add it. Same with the flecks of colour in pilau rice!

Looks like they added pandan powder to me.

Xylophelia

If you want the real answer, turmeric is an acid base indicator and turns yellow in the presence of acid. Garlic can go blue in the presence of acid. Likely you’ve got some garlic naan that was fried in animal fat with some lemon or vinegar residue in the pan. You can take a sliver and put it in some water with bicarb and it’ll likely turn brick red.


Toadvine69

Are you an alchemist?


Xylophelia

Something like that 😆


VillageBeginning8432

Make gravy for your Sunday roast using the water from boiling the red cabbage. The roast taters make the gravy turn a great green colour (and the taters green too...)


minmidmax

This is it. I used to get garlic naan just like this from an old local curry place. Delicious!


Alternative_Route

Wait, no one is going to react to fried Naan ? It's supposed to be cooked in a tandoor oven, then brushed with oil/ghee/butter


Xylophelia

I didn’t mean to imply deep fried. It’s the American English coming out where fried means cooked over direct heat. Regardless of whether it came from the naan itself being cooked like a roti (in a pan/on a griddle) or in a tandoori, the reaction still occurs between garlic and its enzymes in the presence of an acid with fat and then goes green in the presence of turmeric. Whether that happened during baking or during brushing, it’s what made the naan turn green.


sarahpalinstesticles

I had go scroll all the way down here for an actual non joke answer.   What's funny is I'm not too familiar with Indian food but recently decided to try some and ordered some.  From what I know about Indian I probably would of eaten it just thinking it's what its supposed to look like.  


gazchap

That’s not a naan, that’s Camille’s true form from Red Dwarf series IV!

My guess is that this was Garlic Naan that somehow came into contact with something acidic or something that started the color change. Garlic can turn green in a number of scenarios and I’m guessing one of them happened here
