I've been a fan of Doctor Who for a while (since the reboot). But I've watched a lot of classic Doctor. Some outfits I've loved, some I've hated. Before debuting 13's new look for the spring special, I thought I'd do a rundown and get some feedback.
I LOVED #1s look. 2 was good. It fit the quirky character of the new guy. 3 was very Edwardian. I've always loved a good Edwardian suit (I remember the 60s, I was too young to get the full effect of the decade.) Of course 4 is my fav. I've dressed as him for a few comicons and it always went over big, even with the other #4s. Hated 5. Really hated 6. I called him Doctor Clown. 7 - meh. 8 - loved it. More Edwardian stuff. 9 - I always called Christopher Eccleston Doctor Bond. He reminded me of Craig Daniel. 10 - Loved it, especially the colorful high tops. 11 - Loved his original ratty professor vibe* but hated 3rd season's riverboat gambler look. 12 - Loved Capaldi's original mod suit but hated it when they tried to youth him up with hoodies and mismatched pants.
Ok, now to Jody Whittaker. I had such high hopes for the first female doctor. I wanted to design something along the lines of Annie Hall meets steampunk. But instead we got this juvenile Mork from Ork bullshit that made her look like a childcare facility escapee. Then I hoped there's be modifications. They did it before with 11 and 12. I've not gotten through her last season but so far not seeing any changes.
Which brings me to her final special episode. Finally, she has a decent outfit. Still not what I would have designed but oodles better than the Rugrats thing she's been forced to wear.
*and the fez.
