The 12th Doctor's Wardrobe Revealed!

[Christopher]

It's generally assumed his wife was human, since although Susan has an immense intellect similar to a Time Lord, she was human and has since passed on after one life.

Huh? "Generally assumed" by whom? According to her entry on the Tardis Data Core, the novels, audios, and comics have all portrayed her as a Gallifreyan. There's nothing in the entire article about any work claiming that she was human or that she died after a single human lifespan.

As much as I don't want to learn everything about the Doctor's past, one thing I would love to see cleared up someday is the whole granddaughter thing, and how the Doctor apparently had this family at one time that was never mentioned again. I just think it'd be a shame if the show never took the opportunity to revisit Susan while Carole Ann Ford is still around, and have her and the Doctor catch up and interact one last time.

I think Hartnel did vary a bit now and then. For example, in later episodes he had a white cravat or whatever he wore while in earlier ones it was dark.

I think Troughton's trousers varied a tiny bit and maybe he had some different hancacheifs now and then.

 

[Christopher]

One thing I've never been clear on, since "Power of the Daleks" is lost: When Hartnell regenerated into Troughton, was Troughton originally wearing Hartnell's clothes, or did his clothes change in the regeneration? It always kind of seemed to me that Troughton's outfit was basically the same as Hartnell's but baggier because he was smaller, but I'm really not so sure.

The Doctor's family has been mentioned several times over the years in The Tomb Of The Cybermen, Curse Of Fenric, The Idiot's Lantern among others. But not much about Susan and I agree it woulld be nice to know about her fate after The Five Doctors Special, but then I could the same about a large number of other companions.

The location shots show that he's still got the bling on his ring finger while actually shooting. So this IS a thing, and it may require a bit of exposition when he puts it on. Mayhaps an effort to keep every companion from kissing him at some point. :P

He rarely takes off his wedding ring

In the photos seen below, Clara seems to still be wearing the outfit she had on at the Christmas special. On the other hand, Peter Capaldi is wearing the new outfit that the BBC released official photos of yesterday. Notably, he was still wearing his wedding ring. According to Farrell, Capaldi rarely takes the ring off for roles.

I'm surprised that Susan and her and the Doctor's family has never been followed up on. Seems like great potential. I would love that.

It always kind of seemed to me that Troughton's outfit was basically the same as Hartnell's but baggier because he was smaller, but I'm really not so sure.

The costume did change - but it's not clear if it was meant to be literally the same one or not. It was still a combination of coat, shirt and pants, but the design had changed and it was obviously ill-fitting, and the new Doctor never bothered to change into something that DID fit. The "reconstruction" includes narration that notes his clothes as having changed.

However, the first Doctor's ring survived the transition and the story made a point of the Second Doctor taking it off and letting it fall to the floor. I choose to believe that it was supposed to be the same, but the Second Doctor quickly changed into his new outfit as they landed quickly following, including the first of the strange hats he wore.

I think it was probably meant to be the same outfit, but one that simply fit a lot worse on Troughton than it did on Hartnell. Back then producers probably didn't expect audiences to care as much about continuity, or pay as much attention to what a costume (or TARDIS set) looked like from episode to episode.

I'm surprised that Susan and her and the Doctor's family has never been followed up on. Seems like great potential. I would love that.

Ford has reprised her role in the Big Finish audio adventures several times. I know she's been reunited with the 8th Doctor on a few occasions (along with her grandson), and I'm sure she's done a couple of the Companion Chronicles audios too. Though I agree it would be cool for her to pop up in an actual episode at some point.

Sorry I thought I had hit quote but I didn't. My post is referring to this comment :

They will ride up with wear. Sorry Couldn't resist doing a quote from "Are you being Served"

Let me add to the 'generally assumed' by whom? line of questioning...

Peter Capaldi surprises guests at BBC Worldwide Showcase event...

Hundreds of international TV buyers were dazzled by a surprise appearance from the new Doctor Peter Capaldi at BBC Worldwide’s annual Showcase event in Liverpool.
Capaldi, who has started filming the new series of Doctor Who, emerged from the iconic TARDIS to the delight of the audience and chatted briefly with Graham Norton.
Afterwards he commented: “As a lifetime follower of the show, I'm delighted to see its global success. And I'm looking forward to sharing with the world the very exciting journey the new series is taking us on”.
Earlier today it was announced that former The History Boys star Samuel Anderson would be joining Doctor Who as a recurring character for Series 8.

Peter Capaldi's attendance was part of an evening celebrating the best of British TV talent, with appearances including Sir David Attenborough, the presenters of Top Gear, Bollywood dancing from India’s smash hit version of Strictly Come Dancing and a special pre-recorded piece from Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch.
Cumberbatch appeared in a specially shot video, where he apologised for not being able to attend the event but teased the audience as to whether Moriarty’s supposed return at the end of the latest series of Sherlock was real or not.
The annual 4-day Showcase event, hosted by BBC Worldwide - the main commercial arm of the BBC - brings executives from international broadcasters together and provides them with the opportunity to watch new programmes available for international sale. This year 2,800 hours of British TV content are available to buy covering drama, comedy, natural history, factual entertainment, formats, science and children’s; enabling buyers to take the best of British television programming to viewers around the globe.
In 2012/13, BBC Worldwide generated headline profits of £156m and headline sales of £1,116m and returned £156m to the BBC.

I still hate the pants.

 

[sttngfan1701d]

I'm gonna have to see it in action. In several episodes. He looks like a magician and, weeks later, I still think it's a bad choice for a costume.

 

[davejames]

I think the pants look fine (and a lot less cheap than in the promo pic). But I'm not sure about the one button on his coat though. Think it looks better with at least two.

 

[Mr Awe]

I still hate the pants.

Me too. Perhaps his outfit will evolve? Or at least look better in action.

Mr Awe

 

[Starkers]

I may be wrong but I think the one button fastened is how the coat is supposed to be worn, also it probably allows more of the red to come through and as that's the only colour in the outfit this is a good thing.

It will come down to seeing in in action. He looked subdued but still Doctorish, even Ecclston managed to look like the Doctor so there is presedent, plus I guess you could argue Hartnell's outfit was pretty plain.

Personally I like it more than I dislike it, if that makes sense, and I like that there's a clear 20th Century vibe to all of the modern Doctor's looks, with the exception of Smith's Series 7B look, which didn't really fit.

Eccleston: 1940's U-Boat captain look.
Tennant: 1940's Spiv/1970's detective/1990's Brit Pop look.
Smith: 1950's professor.
Capaldi: 1960's/70's Mod look.

Really the odd man out is Smith's Edwardian look.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

The top buttoned coat gives it a Victorian flavour without actually bein Victorian, complimented by the white shirt.
Not sure about the trousers, they don't really match the rest.

 

[C.E. Evans]

IMO, the Doctor should always have an odd sense of fashion in that there should be some parts of his outfit that don't really go together or isn't with current times.
