Overview
Following on from the other documentaries 'The Hartnell Years' and 'The Troughton Years', which showcased rare surviving episodes from incomplete stories. There are no missing Pertwee episodes, so instead, using a similar format with interviews and clips, Jon Pertwee introduces full episodes from his favourite stories - "Inferno" (episode 7), "The Frontier in Space" (final episode) and Pertwee's personal favourite, the final episode of "The Daemons".

Center
Primary
The Pertwee era of Doctor Who leans left due to its consistent emphasis on environmental protection and its critique of corporate and scientific hubris, aligning with progressive values despite also featuring a necessary defense organization.
The series from the early 1970s features traditional casting with a predominantly white ensemble. Its narratives do not explicitly critique traditional identities, instead portraying them neutrally or positively, and do not center on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film's compilation includes 'Planet of the Spiders,' which respectfully portrays a Buddhist monastery, its monks, and practices like meditation. The wise K'anpo Rimpoche embodies positive spiritual guidance, and the Doctor himself engages in meditation, aligning the narrative with the virtues of the depicted faith.
The Pertwee era of Doctor Who, spanning 1970-1974, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explicit themes. The narrative focuses on science fiction adventure without engaging with queer identities or issues, resulting in no depiction.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
