Jon was considered for the role of Captain Mainwaring in the BBC series "Dad's Army" (1968), which eventually went to Arthur Lowe. He claimed that he refused the part as he was working on Broadway at the time, and didn't know what he was being offered back home.

He was the first cousin of Bill Pertwee.

Was a founder member, along with his brother Michael, of The Waistcoat Club (of which he had a large collection, some dating back 300 years) which was set up in 1953 to counter the drabness of mens' dress. Another future Doctor Who, Peter Cushing, was a fellow member.
