[net.tv.drwho] The Doctor's new clothes

mauney@ncsu.UUCP (Jon Mauney) (08/16/84)

Jon Pertwee was in hospital after his regeneration, and stole the
tuxedo (and the car) from one of the physicians there, in order
to make his escape.

Tom Baker tried on a variety of outfits before going off to fight
the robot.  (Romana II also tried on a variety of outfits after her
regeneration.)

Peter Davison happened across his clothes while grepping the TARDIS
for the Zero Room.  The Doctor has always been a cricket fan: Tom Baker
demonstrated his bowling form to Sarah Jane, and I hear tell that
references to cricket go all the way back to William Hartnell.

I haven't seen Colin Baker,  but juding from the still pictures I'd guess
that he was on his way to a costume ball dressed as a neon sign when
he had to go rescue someone and he hasn't had a chance to change.

The way I remember it was that she "tried on" a variety of regenerations
before deciding on that of Princess Astra from the previous episode.  I
want to know how they explain her changing that many times!

Maybe she tried on different outfits, too, once she decided on her body
and I don't remember.
