He fits the general silhouette of what I imagine when picturing a Doctor. A long person with a jacket

    Well, that's certainly interesting Kinda like the spindly Cyberman design, since it makes them something besides 'people in suits' which only works so far (see: Mondasian Cybermen) and drives home the further loss of humanity

Can't help thinking that Colin Baker's voice as it is now would be perfect for that rendering of the character.

Random Stranger posted:I have trouble saying that until I've seen them on screen. Nothing there screams "the Doctor!" to me, but none of the modern era doctors had really wild and eccentric outfits that stood out like that either. To me the Doctor is all in the performance and I can't wait to see that. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I'm not buying Matt Smith spending 400 years or whatever in that one tweed suit and only ever changing his bow tie. The Doctor only ever wearing one outfit ever for an entire regeneration is among JNT's worst ideas tbh

Like, Tennant and Capaldi had variations on themes, but Smith had the multiple tweed jackets, the purple long coat getup, the burgundy coat he wore for most of "The Time of the Doctor," the three-piece suit he wore in "The Crimson Horror"... I mean, I get your point, but that was the one choice you could make that would largely invalidate it.

That's not a bad decision for the look of the show; I think the stuff we've seen from the new RTD era is going with a cool style for costume design.

Right, but all of the outfit variations start happening in series 7, right? Series 5 and 6 are like 400 years of his life and he wears that one outfit for virtually all of that time? Bull poo poo i tell you

Bull poo poo i tell you In season 5 he changes between two tweed jackets and changes his shirt and bowtie. Season 6 he has a tweed jacket and also that green trench coat thing, changes shirt and bowtie very often. That plus any one off outfits (tuxedos, etc). He really is one of the doctors who changed things up more often than most, at least in the modern era

I loved the hoodie and coat look Capaldi did, and it’s a really nice look that you can get away with easily.

Branding and budget aside, Of love if the Doctor had a different but related outfit. Be a canvas for fashion designers and fibre artists. Always love when they dress to period theme too.

The Doctor often sticks with a single outfit or variation on it for a long time because it helps anchor them in their current identity.

Like Scaroth making Da Vinci do multiple copies of the Mona Lisa, the Doctor is always popping up at different periods of time to get the same clothes designers to do them a whole bunch of the exact same outfit

Faction Paradox created the Thirteenth Doctor by redirecting Twelve to Antarctica when he was about to regenerate. Originally, he was supposed to regenerate into Jo Martin.

Love them all talking about early cuts without music and freaking out that it's terrible  Crazy that they were able to find a room big enough that RTD could sit very far away and they could use camera tricks to make him look the same size as the non-giants.

Bill Baggs is probably rushing to try and get the rights to squeeze out novels and audios based on the cavemen from The Tribe of Gum for BBV right now. Some of the semi-licensed Doctor Who spin-offs, who are they even for? I can understand Omega being viable, but are people really that into Cwej, for example? It's a deep rabbit hole if you go down it.

As a recent New Adventures convert, I definitely dig Cwej, although that's not to say I'd sit down and listen to a solo audio drama about him. Big Finish basically do the same thing with random-rear end characters, like the whats-her-name thief from the bus desert episode or the Doctor's clone (no the other one) so apparently it's profitable enough. It's easy enough work for an actor to dash off a couple audios in a recording booth, and I don't have the facts to back this up but I suspect it's a lot of people's dream job to write for Doctor Who so the writers are probably not getting paid very much.

And yet Big Finish rarely seems to expand their writing pool, aside from the once yearly short story competition where they choose one (1) person.

In no way related to anything being discussed, but I fell in love with The Doctor because they always solve problems by observing, putting things together, and talking. I. AM. TALKING. I don't do a great job of it, but that's all I aspire to be.
