Claude was originally from British Guiana ( now Guyana ), and worked as a radio engineer before opening a grocer 's shop, whilst Sheila worked in intelligence during World War II before becoming a homemaker. Davison had three sisters : Shirley, Pamela and Barbara. Whilst in Streatham, he attended Granton Primary School. The family then moved to Knaphill in Surrey. During this time, Davison was a member of an amateur theatre company called the Byfleet Players. Before becoming an actor, he gained three O - levels at Winston Churchill School, St John 's, Woking, Surrey, and then had several odd jobs, including a stint as a mortuary attendant and a Hoffman Press operator. Davison studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama. His first job was as an actor and assistant stage manager at the Nottingham Playhouse. He chose the stage name Peter Davison to avoid confusion with the actor and director Peter Moffatt, with whom Davison later worked. In 1973, aged 21, Davison married Diane Russell. They divorced two years later. Career His first television work was a 1975 episode of the children 's science fiction television programme The Tomorrow People, alongside American actress Sandra Dickinson, whom he married on 26 December 1978. Davison portrayed an alien named `` Elmer '', who arrives on Earth along with his sister ( played by Dickinson ) and his mother, known as `` the Mama '' ( played by Margaret Burton ). In the mid-1970s, during a lull in his acting career, Davison spent 18 months working in a tax office in Twickenham. In 1976, he was offered a prominent role in the 13 - segment TV miniseries Love for Lydia opposite a young Jeremy Irons ; the series was broadcast on ITV the following year. In 1978, Davison 's performance as the youthfully mischievous Tristan Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small made him a household name. `` I do n't know how much it changed my life. It creeps up on you really. You become used to it quickly, I think. I was n't aware of it suddenly changing my life, although I had a bit more money to spend on rubbish. I bought a house, but the money was rubbish because I was a BBC newcomer, though nobody 's money was very good, except probably Robert Hardy 's. I remember after the third series I bought a car, which was a Renault 18. I thought it was pretty flash, and I went to this garage to fill up with petrol, and the guy said, ' Are n't you that bloke off the vet series ? ' I said yes I was, and he said, ' Why are you driving that piece of shit ? ' '' Davison and his wife composed and performed the theme tunes to Button Moon, a children 's programme broadcast in the 1980s, and Mixed Blessings, a sit - com broadcast on ITV in 1978. Davison subsequently appeared alongside Dickinson as the Dish of the Day in the television version of The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy in 1981. The producers considered it humorous for an actor known for playing a veterinary surgeon to appear as a cow. The couple have a daughter, Georgia Moffett, born in 1984. Davison and Dickinson divorced in 1994. Davison also has two sons, Louis born 1999, and Joel born 2001, by actress and writer Elizabeth Morton. Davison has also appeared in several British sitcoms, including Holding the Fort ( 1980 -- 82 ) and Sink or Swim ( 1980 -- 82 ), as well as appearing in dramatic roles. Doctor Who ( 1981 -- 1984 and later revivals ) Main article : Fifth Doctor In 1980, Davison signed a contract to play the Doctor for three years, succeeding Tom Baker ( the Fourth Doctor ) and, at age 29, was at the time the youngest actor to have played the lead role, a record he retained for nearly thirty years until Matt Smith ( the Eleventh Doctor ) took the role in 2009 at age 26. Attracting such a high - profile actor as Davison was as much of a coup for the programme 's producers as getting the role was for him, but he did not renew his contract because he feared being typecast. Patrick Troughton ( who had played the Second Doctor and whom Davison had watched on the programme as a teenager ) had recommended to Davison that he leave the role after three years, and Davison followed his advice. The Fifth Doctor encountered many of the Doctor 's best - known adversaries, including the Daleks ( in Resurrection of the Daleks ) and the Cybermen ( in Earthshock ). After leaving Doctor Who, Davison returned to the franchise several times. He presented the special videotape documentary release Daleks -- The Early Years ( 1993 ), showcasing selected episodes of missing Dalek stories from both the First Doctor and Second Doctor 's eras. Davison did, in fact, return to play the Fifth Doctor in the 1993 multi-doctor charity special Dimensions in Time and in the 1997 video game Destiny of the Doctors ( audio only ). He continues to reprise the role in a series of audio plays by Big Finish Productions. He returned once again in `` Time Crash '', a special episode written by Steven Moffat for Children in Need ; in the episode, which aired on 16 November 2007, the Fifth Doctor met the Tenth Doctor, played by Davison 's future son - in - law David Tennant. Tennant later presented a documentary, Come in Number Five, which examined Davison 's Doctor Who years in some detail, and which was included as a special feature on the 2011 DVD re-release of Resurrection of the Daleks. It is one of many DVD releases of his Doctor Who serials in which Davison has appeared as an in - vision interviewee or in DVD commentary recordings. In 2012, Davison expressed further interest in returning to the role of the Doctor for the series ' 50th anniversary, but he did not take part. He did, however, write and direct The Five ( ish ) Doctors Reboot, an affectionate and comedic account of Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and himself attempting to get parts in the Anniversary Special, featuring cameos from numerous Doctor Who cast, crew, and famous fans. Davison has been critical of the original series of Doctor Who and has expressed great admiration for the 21st century revival. In 2008, Davison spoke unfavourably of some of the writing for the series during his tenure, claiming : `` There were some very suspect scripts we did, knocked off by TV writers who 'd turn their hand to anything. Fair enough, but they were n't science fiction fans. You do get the impression, both with the television series now and Big Finish, that they are fans of science fiction and that 's why they are doing those stories. '' Davison has also praised the sexual frisson between the Doctor and his companions in the revived series and claimed : `` They were struggling for many years to make the companions more rounded characters and... they never once thought it was a good idea to put any frisson or sexual tension -- even in its most innocent form -- between the Doctor and companion. I think it would make it easier to write a better character. All I know is they 've struggled for many years to write a good companion 's part. I do n't think they 've ever really managed it till Rose, when the series came back. '' Interviewed in 2013, Davison stated that The Caves of Androzani, The Visitation and Earthshock were his favourite serials from his time on the series, and that Time - Flight was the biggest disappointment because of a lack of budget. In 2013, Davison was asked in an interview about the possibility of a female Doctor, to which he replied : `` I have a slight problem with that because it 's not as if genders are interchangeable on Gallifrey... I do n't like the idea of the Doctor having a sex change - it 's not as if you would have a female James Bond. '' In July 2017, Davison described the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor as `` the loss of a role model for boys who I think Doctor Who is vitally important for ''. He added : `` I feel a bit sad about that, but I understand the argument that you need to open it up. '' Davison closed his Twitter account following the backlash to his comments, saying the `` toxicity '' around the series had been `` sobering ''. 1984 -- present Davison and Kate O'Mara at the Doctor Who 50th Celebration Davison in October 2016 After Davison left Doctor Who in 1984, he immediately landed a role in Anna of the Five Towns, a period drama. In 1985, he appeared in an All Creatures Great and Small Christmas special, and a feature - length episode of the American show Magnum, P.I. ( `` Deja Vu '' ), set in the UK. Davison played Dr Stephen Daker, the central character in A Very Peculiar Practice ( 1986 -- 88 ). Written by Andrew Davies, it concerns a university 's health centre ; Daker is the centre 's only effective physician.

In 1986 he appeared as Lance Fortescue in an episode of the BBC 's Miss Marple ( `` A Pocketful of Rye '' ). Davison reprised his role as Tristan Farnon in four more series of All Creatures Great and Small between 1988 and 1990, although he was absent from 24 episodes of the final three to play the lead in Campion, a series based on the period whodunnits of Margery Allingham.
