So I make the claim that Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor will be the first with facial hair, flatly forgetting about the War Doctor. That's on me.

My short on why I'll continue to put up the note at the front of these: czcams.com/users/shortsHpwwzjzFXiE

Also wanted to note that it was established that The Doctor shaves in Time Crash, when 10 remarks to 5:
"Listen to me. I'm you... I'm you with a new face! Check out this bone structure, Doctor, because one day you're going to be shaving it!"
To be fair, we really only saw him once.
Peter Cushing's Doctor also had a mustache, but he's kind of his own thing.
Capaldi did have quite a lot of stubble in some appearances if I remember correctly. My memory could be failing me though.
When 8 regenerated into War, they showed John Hurt's younger face didn't they? Sans facial hair? And the beard and mustache just grew as the Time War progressed? And Eleven also sported facial hair temporarily when he met Churchill, if memory serves me right. (Had to check YT for videos of this and found at least one in Day of the Moon... could swear I saw one about the Silence...)
So somehow, you're right insofar as Fifteen is the first to have a moustache immediately after regeneration.
I love how there is both a subtlety and a quirkiness to it. It's like Hipster academic. Like that dude who you see in a fancy café reading an obscure French novel and you think he is gonna be a pretentious ass but you speak to him and he is actually a really nice dude. That's the only way I can think to describe it.
I like the colours. The browns and the orange. I like warm tones. I like the attention to detail like with the rings and the necklaces. Small details always help complete a look. It all works together. Nothing feels out of place but also they feel like things that would look odd if not together. Like they have to be paired together for it to look right. All together it just works perfectly. I love this look and I am very optimistic about this new era. It's gonna be really good.
Also I kinda really want this outfit. There is an air of androgyny to it even more than Jodie's outfit had. I could see myself wearing that and feeling like a boss.
Yes! The outfit does feel androgynous. I think someone of any gender could rock that. I'd certainly wear it.
Look at Nsuti’s love of fashion at every event/promo we’ve seen him at and you instantly know they’ve designed it for his taste. Looks perfect for him. I hope it’s one of many…
He looks great, very dapper.
It seems like most Doctors range between being lovable fashion disasters (sometimes to to the point of being iconic) OR obsessed with a specific accessory to the point where it really changes a look and makes it their own (like the trainers). If they DO seem put together, then it’s, like you said, anachronistically, like 1’s and 12’s (later on) Victorian aesthetic or 3’s dashing dandy. He seems more put together and closer to our contemporary than any Doctor I can think of except maybe 9.
Very well said.
I find this costume interesting, because on the one side, I agree, I think he looks sharp. But I also despise the suit/trousers personally. It's just so much brown checked patterning and I really can't stand brown check. The orange top is my favorite aspect of the costume because it's brash in a similar way to 11's Bowtie and 12s magician's style jacket (the one with the bright red lining).
Also I never ever expected to be considering Tweed cooler than something else lmfao.
My hope for this docter is that it's much more of a dectective docter. With an almost flamboyant quality yet with a tad bit of sassyness. I want the sonic and costume to look put together (aka I'd love a purple sonic). Almost like a mix of the 7th and 8th docter with a new quality of being almost chill yet alien. A very level headed docter with moments of bursting energy.
So kind of like if Benoit Blanc was the Doctor? Cause that would be awesome
I think a yellow sonic would make more sense
I completely agree, although I wouldn’t mind a return to the red sonic since they’re kinda doing this retro thing
The sixth doctor being a bit extra. The seventh getting a darker costume meanwhile his character darkens in manipulation. The eighth getting a Byronic romantic look. Yeah, the costume tells a lot about the doctor!
Don't really know if I'd describe 7s outfit as dark, but it generally holds up, yes.
The 15th Doctor is the sixth Doctor Who of the modern era. I will NOT let David Tennant steal Ncuti Gatwa's thunder! John Hurt as the Doctor was great, but Christopher Eccleston is still the ninth actor to be Doctor Who!
@@supremelysmokeypotatotowel7934 He starts with a light costume and its personality is light but when he gets darker his costume also darkens, that's what I meant.
@@supremelysmokeypotatotowel7934 the seventh doctors outfit got changed about quite a bit and it had a black jacket at one point, i think thats what they mean by "darker"
@@supremelysmokeypotatotowel7934 that 7th Doctor darker jacket reveal was also ruined when series 26 stories were shown out of order. It really was to evoke a darker personality that was going to be fully explored in the aborted series 27…
Something I'm not seeing many people talk about: I love that the coat pattern is just a hair different from the pants pattern. Really fits the "Put together but just slightly off" vibe.
Yes! That's my favorite part.
ooh i didn't even notice! i'm pretty sure the fit of the pants and jacket are slightly loose too
The fact that it's a bright orange fuzzy sweater and not just an orange shirt stands out to me. It's odd, but not in a way that's immediately noticible. I like what you said about maybe he acts all put together, but it's really a thin facade. That fits with this
I really like it. I’m always a fan of The Doctor having a long coat. That’s why I personally prefer Smith’s series 7B look to his main attire.
I’m almost positive that the shirt will be variable, kinda like how Eccelston had different colored shirts under the leather jacket.
It reminds me most of Tom Baker’s costume, since his vest was a similar plaid design. It looks a lot more Classic Who inspired than most New Who costumes.
My only tiny gripe is a feel like it’s missing a weird little touch. Maybe a hat or scarf or bow tie. something a little alien looking.
The orange looks alien enough to me. 😄 Imagine the Doctor travelling to a village in the middle ages. So I guess he'll switch the shirt when he tries to fit in.
A Fedora or a Beret might work.
i agree! love the coat for the doctor, though part of me wants the look to be a bit busier. but also i'm absolutely sure we'll get variations on this outfit so i kind of feel like that'll just happen naturally at some point. capaldi's original outfit was very simple, and his style certainly evolved to a more choatic place. who knows what'll happen for this doctor! i have to say i love the nail tattoos. i wish there was a way to make them stand out more! but they're a nail accessory so naturally they'd be harder to spot, kind of like jodie's earrings.
i think for me, the outfits only fully come together once i've seen the doctor running around in them a few times. seeing how ncuti wears it in action will probably be the biggest factor for me. excited for that!
If you do a bit of nosey inspecting, you can see in the photo of Ncuti in his makeup trailer the design ideas for 15 on a little like ideas sheet?? I could see eyeliner and highlighter being images shown and also with the nail tattoos, it’ll be nice to see a doctor with a mix of masculine and feminine energy, making The Doctor really feel like a character who can be anyone.
I'm glad you mentioned that Ncuti's outfit has a 70s feel. There are definitely hints of Tom Baker, such as the check trousers that Tom's Doctor also wore at times., the brown and orange colour palette and the mid-length coat that can be swished for dramatic effect. All that's missing is the scarf! LOL I think the outfit is just subtle enough to pass as "normal" in most situations... But also just anachronus to suggest a man out of time and place. Love it!
I'm absolutely obsessed with the outfit. I actually really like that we're getting a warmer Doctor look after so much blue and black. I am aware of the fact that I might love the outfit itself maybe a bit too much which I'm not sure how I feel about.... Also, obsessed with the mustache.
An alternate, a matching tartan kilt with tasseled socks.
That’s an awesome idea!! Ncuti is Scottish too so it would fit really well
A video on Instagram revealed he's wearing lots of rings and even has gallifreyan nail tattoos
It's also a CZcams short on the Doctor Who channel.
We had the war doctor sporting a beautiful scruffy beard, so it isn't completely new. I'm personally on the fence about the outfit being so pulled together, but really happy to see the facial hair.
In Tom Baker’s final season, he also wound up temporarily with a long beard after getting hit with an aging device, along with super-long greying hair.
My sense of this was in the trailer, we have some version of Ncuti in standard clothing, but unkempt and confused. Here we have someone who looks immaculately and colorfully dressed and knows EXACTLY what’s going on. Maybe the Doctor before and after remembering their identity?
Also I like the idea of his looks evolving with various colorful, mod inspired outfits, maybe the sweater(vest?) is a constant? Even if the color changes (I really want him in pink at some point).
Not sure if you picked up on this but Gatwa's clothing in the trailer was Tennant's clothing. He just wasn't wearing all of it. So yeah, that seems like the immediate post-regen outfit before they establish the new incaration's identity.
At this point who knows, the way it's being done is new and different. I'm still not convinced that Tennant is the true 14th Doctor, even though it was officially confirmed. RTD isn't above lying to the fans to try and hide things.
ooh i love that idea!
I like it. I'm colorblind and don't see orange as orange; but the bright brown looks really cool.
Ruby Sunday looks a bit too much like Rose for my liking; but I've only seen that one photo. And I can't imagine they're going to try and make a Rose copy. So, all in all... I like it
I think you've nailed it with the "photoshoot" look. Looks odd to me for the doctor to be so put together for sure. I can't help but wonder if this is a similar thing to the 2005 reasoning of "we're trying to get a whole new audience, it's better to play it super safe".
Not sure that's the reason as times are different now and it's less odd to rock a weird outfit, but that's the only real explanation I can think of.
Love the costume and also love that he has nail tattoos as said in his video with millie Gibson.
I love the leaks and the video they published that he and millie just shot in the parking lot. It makes it more personal and I love that!
In Time Crash, 10 mentions to 5 that "one day [he's] gonna be shaving" his face, so I do think timelords have to do general grooming and appearance upkeep.
and the 11th doctor has had a beard which he shaved.
I’m getting John Pertwe vibes from 15s costume. If it were modern flamboyant with lots of swagger
agreed
I love this new outfit. It suits him really well. I'm also intrigued since Sacha Dhawan's Master wore checks/plaid like this, but in purple. And now the Doctor will have brown checks/plaid. The video Gatwa and Gibson did showing off the new looks for the Doctor and Ruby was really fun! The two of them have amazing friend-chemistry together already. They bounce off each other so well, and look like they're having a ball. Gatwa's costume also has rings, which he showed off in the video - 3 on one hand and 2 on the other, I think. I know it was multiple rings per hand, and he said something about one of them being a Gallifreyan/Time Lord thing.
The costume absolutely makes the Doctor. I like this, as it's loud but pretending to be soft.
I love it. I know nothing of Ncuti but somehow these clothes just look right. And the orange shirt? Perfect color on him. If they do change the shirt from time to time, I hope it’s to an equally bright color, like a lime green. On the reveal video they also show he’s got rings on his fingers and I think “Gallifreyan tattoos” were mentioned.
A perfectly campy thing to do would be to keep the outfit entirely the same but swap out the sweater for different pastel colours.
I really love this outfit. The whole thing matches, but it's still a slightly unusual appearance overall- it reminds me of Twelve, being an outfit almost no one would own worn in the best way it could be. Plus. the orange is new, and I like the overall warm color scheme. And the boots are hot.
My first thought was that his outfit was boring, but it’s already grown on me. It looks a bit baggy and a bit old fashioned, while still also looking fresh. It sort of encapsulates the idea of a person who is young and old at the same time.
Love Gatwa's costume. The orange of the shirt almost makes me think of the gold regeneration color. Hope the Doctor and companion have a sister/brother vibe with no romance. Besides, in the story of the show, he's been married to River, had romantic feelings for Rose and I guess Yaz, and presumably had someone special on Gallifrey.
Mostly I hope they have that kind of bond because the actress is 18 and Ncuti Gatwa is 30
I would be really uncomfortable if they'd do a romance given the age of the actors
@@erin_3569 I'm tired of all the different types of love in the world being underutilized in favor of romance. It'd be cool to have these two love one another very deeply, but like siblings. Sibling love can have so much depth.
@@erin_3569 i mean, the age difference between Tennant and Billie is only slighty less than Ncuti and Millie. And there's nearly 20 years between Smith and Alex Kingston
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk not the same. Millie Gibson was a minor one year ago. Matt Smith was a grown adult and regarding the lore, the fact he is a time lord diminishes this.
Regarding Billie Piper, she was 24 in 2005 and 25 in 2006, so it's okish, i think ?
But regarding the lore, she is only 19 when she meets the doctor, so yeah, still creepy
Someone on twitter pointed out he’s dressed like Professor Layton and I can’t unsee it.
Now that you mentioned it, Ruby's outfit looks like a gender-flipped version of Luke's outfit too
Excited to see what will come of his looks! He's said there will be different costumes in the future; I hope there will also be a changing sweater like Nine had.
I love his new costume and Ruby’s. Like you said it gives vibes of maybe 70s which makes me wonder if his first episode could take place in the past and also because the companions vibe matches it does make me wonder if she could be from the past too. Would be interesting to see a companion with maybe old fashioned views brought into our world for a change of the usual routine.
I love it. It’s simple yet pleasing. The colours are brilliant and I’m happy I got my wish about 15 wearing alien/Gallifrey jewellery! Also love the moustache.
Really was hoping for some purple. But it looks alright, stylised yet casual.
Another insightful video. I do enjoy your insights. I've often missed them and usually learn something from you - on a range on topics and issues.
Capaldi’s was fashionable (in my opinion) I can’t wait to see Ncuti’s take on the role
I likde the Ncuti visual, the impression I get its more investigations vibe.I have a feeling that Ncuti's approach to his outfit will be similar to Pertwee's. The Ruby visual look a lot inspired by Jo Grant look I loved that too.
The glimpse of the War Doctor we saw in the reflection in "Night of the Doctor" was clean shaven, then when he's older he had a beard. Also #4 has a beard when he is aged in "The Leisure Hive" So yeah, the Doctor can grow facial hair.
I particularly liked the subtle nail art of the Tardis on his right hand. 💅
I think a fedora would fit with it very well. It would create a good silhouette to.
The outfit is growing on me. But I saw a post a couple of months ago suggesting his outfit would be bright and colorful and my initial reaction to seeing this was oh...that's darker than I expected.
But people were probably expecting for him to be like his time on Sex Education (which I've never seen) similar to how they expected Peter Capaldi to say "Fuckity" all the time like he apparently did a lot on a show he was in (that show I also have never seen).
Bottom line, I need to see more shows starring the Doctor from before they were the Doctor. I at least saw Broadchurch before Jodie was the Doctor...but after Tennant...
He’s got a boatload of rings on his fingers too. It looks like at least three per hand
I love the outfit. It's warm and makes me think of a detective or a professor. The Doctor and Ruby look great together.
I don't normally comment, but I said something aloud that I think you should absolutely hear. I said "Your content is amazing and I'm glad you decided to allow us into your mind.' I don't often comment, but I just wanted you to know that I meant what I said. Thank you for posting these videos. And have a fantastic night.
I just think it's funny how the children in need spent most of the show building up to the companion reveal but the Doctor and the costume are announced via Twitter and insta
Until we get to see it close up, I'm going to guess the pendant is a St Christopher - the Patron Saint of Travellers. Often depicted carrying a companion (a child) on his shoulders across dangerous waters.
I love this outfit! The slightly mismatched jacket and trousers, the fancy boots, the crew neck with jewelry-- There's enough of the unusual that says "New", with enough of the familiar that says "Doctor"!
Another year of good work from the best reviewer in doctor Who youtube circles keep up the work
Terry @ Tardis Spider
I love Ncuti Ghatwa's look. I like how put together he looks. It reminds me a bit of the 3rd Doctor but toned down.
Another thing to consider with the drip feeding of information is that everything we've had so far costs nothing - it's just twitter posts / blogs on the BBC website.
If the BBC isn't interested in putting money into advertising the new Doctor this far out (& going forward I expect most of the big Doctor Who news dumps will be handled by Disney / tied into Disney's event schedules anyway rather than coming directly from the BBC) RTD is stuck between getting information out ahead of any leaks and likely having no / limited budget to put together a dedicated press event or attend a fan focused event like a Comicon or similar.
Realistically the bigger news drops you would prefer probably won't come until D24 around September next year - about 2 months before the first Special hits, because that's the schedule Disney works to and they'd probably only look to change it if it was too close or too far away from the Specials air date - but whether by accident or design it actually seems to tie in nicely, so Doctor Who will be rolled into their existing schedule's.
Expect the drips to continue until then as a way to stay ahead of leaks and to give fan's something to chat about while we wait.
I doubt that though it’s still a bbc show it doesn’t make sense for Disney to be the ones breaking news about a show they don’t own it’s gonna be on Disney plus out side of the uk sure but here in the uk it’s still on the bbc and therefor Disney dropping news makes no sense I mean I would expect somthing to be at D23 but it would make no sense for Disney to drop anything big or for them to be the only ones doing it
@@xjadit7826 BBC will just post stories about whatever Disney announce at their events - they won't be paying to fly the cast & crew out to Comicon like happened under Moffatt and when Jodie Whittacker was first announced as the Doctor - Disney will handle all of that now because those kind of events are mainly aimed at the US / international audience and were previously paid for by BBC America anyway (who no longer have a reason to advertise in Doctor Who).
Going forward the the only thing I expect from the BBC is a press viewing / premiere for the specials and later the next series (complete with the usual interviews with cast & RTD) - which will be about a week or two before they air - and the odd blog post like we are getting now for anything they think might leak.
That would still be far more than the BBC does to hype up any of their other shows - usually it's just organising interviews with the cast and writers / show runner and sending out advanced press copies of the episodes - but I think they'll want to try and make a splash in the British press with Tennant coming back shortly followed by a new Doctor, so they'll stretch their budget a bit.
@@M-E_123 that Doesn’t make sense there is absolutely no way the bbc would allow Disney to drop news about THEIR show before they do I’d expect a presence at d23 just cause it’s gonna be on Disney plus internationally but the vast majority of the promotion will most likely be handled by the bbc Disney don’t own the show it makes no sense for them to do most of the promotion when it’s still airing on the bbc if it was on Disney + in the uk too then I’d say yeah sure Disney should be the ones doing the promotion but that’s not what’s happening I mean if Disney want to do their own promotion campaign for the country’s Disney + will have the show that’s one thing but actually breaking news about the show I highly doubt that
@@xjadit7826 you clearly pay very little attention to how the BBC promote their other shows that do not have an international audience on a BBC affiliated channel.
A continuity announcement over the end of the last episode ("Doctor Who will be back later this year") followed up by a trailer with a release date a couple of weeks before the show drops is exactly what the BBC do for all their other UK focused shows - which is what they did for the Sea Devils and Regeneration specials shown this year - apart from that you get some interviews in the Radio Times that drops a week before the air date, or if they are really making an effort some interviews in UK newspapers (again about a week before the air date), and maybe an earlier trailer a month before the one with the release date which name's the month it will be shown in (so a trailer in October saying "Coming in November", then in November we get an extended trailer with the full date & time) - and they send out press previews that may or may not be edited to avoid certain spoilers leaking (or again if they are really trying you'll get a London Premier which includes interviews with the cast / crew - and extra special shows will have someone from the cast / the writer as a guest on Graham Norton a week or two before the air date).
Giving something (like the recent companion announcement) to Children In Need or Red Nose Day has mainly been a RTD thing since he gave them the first scene of Tennant talking to Rose post regeneration, Moffatt & Chibnall rarely bothered with it - and RTD is currently behind the recent drip feed of information through the BBC Blog and on Twitter, but the suspicion is that he's only doing that to get certain information out ahead of tabloid leaks.
Either way the current level of communication being driven by RTD is already delivering far more promotion than any other BBC show gets - apart from that one time Peter Capaldi was announced as the new Doctor on the One Show.
The other promotion we've had during New Who - Comicon appearances, interviews to non-UK websites / newspapers, press previews for non-UK websites / newspapers etc. - That was all organised by BBC America / other offshore partners, who have now all been replaced by Disney.
It's now also a Disney co-production, so I expect it to be handled exactly the same as other BBC shows that have been co-produced with American companies.
Look at His Dark Materials that started up again this month - HBO was behind the bulk of the promotion for that show and all we got in the UK was the BBC throwing out a trailer and release date a couple of weeks before they broadcast the first episode.
This is what you should expect from Doctor Who going forward apart from when RTD goes rogue and tries some of his own little tricks to hype things up / get people talking (like when he "leaked" that Hugh Grant would be the next Doctor, just to get the UK tabloids talking).
The BBC isn't going to start spending liscence payer's money on promoting Doctor Who to international audiences now, when it has never done so before - BBC America is a commercial channel who organised all that and paid for it from their own funds - that stops now they won't be making money from broadcasting the show and the UK focused BBC won't step into the breach - not when they have a replacement commercial partner who will be pushing it for their own purpose - the UK BBC will continue promoting Doctor Who as it always has, and this will continue to be in line with how they promote their other shows to the UK audience - which is to say they will be doing very little.
his hands are hidden in both pics, but in one of the videos on his instagram of him in costume, it looked like he was wearing rings. love the idea of that
To quote Whittaker’s Doctor when I first saw this outfit: “You’ve redecorated… I really like it.”
David Tennant's blue suit was introduced in S3 when the costume department started to run out of the trouser fabric the pinstripe was made from (and also stopped being able to get hold of it).
I suspect we'll see a lot of small variants - Similar to Eccleston's jumpers but less subtle since it's both brighter and a lot more exposed (and also IIRC RTD isn't fond of 3/4 coats being worn at all times so we might see him out of the jacket and just in the jumper a fair bit)
The coat pattern calls back to the First and Second Doctor’s check trousers, which I like. The cut of the coat is very, very Doctoresque. I don’t mind the crew-neck top, although I’m not fond of the orange (too reminiscent of Nigel Ng’s Uncle Roger character), but it does call back to the Ninth and I like the simplicity of the design.
I was hoping for sequins and glitter. Especially in Classic DW the Doctor is often surrounded by super sparkly costumes, but they never get to be glitzy for themselves.
I do like the classic British boots tho. I wonder if they're Doctor Martens lol, or maybe Solovairs?
I personally think it looks too normal, much like the 9th Doctor did and doesn’t have anything quirky about his outfit like 10’s sand shoes, 11’s bow ties, 5’s celery on his lapel, 3’s black and red cape, or 4’s scarf.
He has tons of rings and gallifreyan nail tattoos
What about the rings and the necklaces? Also the nail tattoos? The quirky details are just less pronounced
At this point my only worry is the possibility that he's too human in the way Tennant was. I've definitely favored the Doctors that feel more alien.
@@BlueSparxLPs RTD only came back because he wanted to explore something different with new stories so I trust that regardless, he'll give us a good story with a unique Doctor
@@GoliathWarfare Yeah, him saying that is what's kept me optimistic. He's gone on to make some really great TV since leaving Doctor Who and has evolved as a writer, so I have no doubt that this second go will be distinctly different from his first.
I think they revealed the outfit now because they are currently doing filming in like public spaces where just regular people would be who obvs have phones and can take pictures and would leak the outfit. Again it's RTD getting ahead of spoilers.
Ncuti Gatwa once described his Doctor as "saucy," and it's hard to know if that was a serious comment because he also said "because I'm saucy," but it could be telling us that the outfit is more of a contrast than a conform.
There's a different picture out there where we can see the orange top is a fuzzy sweater. I was also wondering if that will switch out with different colors. Also a short where you can see him and Milly posing. There's a belt hanging on loops on the coat. I think it all looks great.
I think Whitaker had a different coat in Flux.
I have to say that I've liked this outfit ever since it was first revealed. For me personally, the most fascinating thing about Ncuti's casting is that I know nothing about him so I have no idea what his doctor will be like but when I've imagined what his outfit would be like I had always pictured him in a mid - long length overcoat and tartan trousers/pants so in that regard I was bang on the money.
That being said I think it would have been nice if his outfit incoparated his African background by having an embroidered nehru jacket similar to the one worn by T'challa in Black Panther. Other than that great outfit, like the necklace, be interesting to see what variations he will have if any.
Thanks for the upload extra upload:)
Character Options will be “thrilled” to have to try and produce that costume pattern on the Doctor’s 6” figure. Cant see how they are going to do that successfully. 🙈
I commented over on Tharries' channel. -- The new Companion's costume is OK, blends in, nothing extraordinary to me. Maybe she'll get different looks as they go on. -- The new Doctor's costume works well. Maybe he'll get different shirts. The orange isn nice. The necklace is a nice touch. Someone else suggested a question mark pendant, and I think a lapel pin question mark would work too. The tweed long coat and trousers remind me of David Tennant's and Mat Smith's looks, and the boots are a good touch. Will we get things like a scarf, sunglasses, or a cap or hat at times? Ncuti Gatwa can pull off lots of clothing choices and make them look good. He has a slightly wild or daring streak in his personal clothes choices. And Millie (I don't recall her last name yet) seems like she'd look good in most choices too. -- I'm very curious to see what. personality and range the new Doctor will have. Is he professorial, professional, at times? A little military or businesslike? How is he when he relaxes? What talents or interests? Music or playing an instrument or singing? All sorts of possibilities. This is going to be a future modern black man, used to cities and technology, and who knows what else. He's personable in real life. What about Millie's Ruby character? We know almost nothing yet, and from the couple of clips I've seen, I don't know what sort of personality her character will have. So this could be very interesting. What about other characters they encounter? Lots of possibilities. I'm excited, looking forward to seeing them. This is a good, low-key direction. Let's hope for great stuff upcoming.
Overall, I like it. I just prefer he had a collared shirt instead of a tee shirt but I guess I can live with it. 😄
Though it's not canon, Peter Cushing sported a mustache in the movies.
They can be cannon if you want them to be! 😁 There’s no such thing as canon in doctor who
even though this doctor's outfit is pretty bold in terms of pattern and color, i feel like it reads as kind of a modern classic look that would pair well with a lot of different things because of its relative simplicity. like, you could add an extra layer under the coat, i could see this look with a scarf or a hat if they wanted to do sort of a one off thing in that vein, maybe even gloves or something idk. this is something i could easily see someone walking down the streets of manhattan or brooklyn in. he and ruby don't look out of place together in comparison to a pair like 11 and amy, which is really interesting to me.
i didn't have anywhere else to mention this, but i'm pretty sure the fit of the jacket and slacks are slightly loose. originally i read this as kind of a trendy/modern styling choice, but i could also see it as the designers adding a slightly quirky touch to the suit. maybe it's even just a functional thing
also! he has gallifreyan nail tattoos! that's what he referred to them as in a social media caption anyway. makes me wonder if that means anything for future exploration of the doctor's origins/relationship to the planet they were raised on, but only time will tell
I thought the same thing about Time Lord facial hair when we saw Matt Smith shaving are with a beard, that Time Lord facial hair is what it is. Who knew?
I does look pulled together but I quite like it. Suits him. Kind of has a mix of old and new to it.
I was hoping for something with more colours but it's still good and it's slowly growing on me.
There is a short where they both show off their costumes a bit on the official Doctor Who channel. ^_^ He has rings too!
Ironically, both Whittaker outfit changes (not counting suit) were better than her usual fit imo.
I'm really interested to see why this Doctor will be wearing Gallifreyan rings and nail tattoos. Feels like this Doctor might have a lot of pride and proudness of his Gallifreyan roots.
I have a flamboyant handlebar moustache and I cosplay as the Doctor anyway, don't feel that matters as long as you're enjoying yourself. I do love the moustache though, it really suits him, I've been longing for a (mainline) Doctor with facial hair
The reasons why we get these drips is because of public filming and yeah, because of the potential leaks. The tardis has already been leaked right after filming began. I knew it was gonna be about time we also get a leak of the outfit or public filming. I believe the reason why John Simm's season 10 appearance was teased so much rather than a huge shock was because there were threats of it being leaked. Neil Patrick Harris had to be announced as part of the 60th because of the public filming in Bristol with David Tennant. David Tennant said in a interview recently that there's so much more about the 60th that we don't know. Everything already announced had to be announced purely because it was publicly filmed. David Tennant, Donna, Wilf, the TARDIS having ramps because of Wilf, Donna's daughter Rose, NPH, etc.
I love the drip feed announcements, means there is always Doctor Who news happening, keeps people talking about the show, and the discourse in the fandom focused on the future!
I just love the mustache, and I hope for a black power in the 15th or 16th season
I’m totally here for a more fashionable, put together Doctor. 11, 12 and 13 felt like they didn’t really care all that much about what they looked like and just threw on an outfit, so it would be cool to have a Doctor again who actually does make sure he looks good before going on a trip. A bit of vanity could be fun.
The intro made me laugh out loud!
Forgot about the nail art sadly... But yea it's a look that'll grow on me. The solo image doesn't grab me, the one with Gibson DOES and I really like it in motion
time crash "Listen to me. I'm you... I'm you with a new face! Check out this bone structure, Doctor, because one day you're going to be shaving it"
If I had to guess at character from the costume, I'd guess a bit more 3rd doctor. Very charming, bit of action, that sort of thing
I'm absolutely loving it!
...with one small exception. I'm on team shoe.
it does feel very put together and fashionable which i feel is odd for the doctor, however it’s very possible that this could relate to their personality this time round, which i’m interested to see if that’s true.
My favorite part is that in a video he Said that the doctor nails is painted in gallifreyan sigils
Still deciding on what I think of the new costume, but it does have some cool 'Dark Academia' vibes, so I like that. I also like that both the tartan/plaid and the brogue boots (very similar to Capaldi's, though his were black) are a nice nod to Gatwa's Scottishness.
It is interesting because my first knee jerk reaction was I thought it was simplistic. I think it would be difficult to add alternate looks because of how simplistic
Did you see the TikTok reveal? They did some close ups of his “Gallifreyan” rings
Thoughts on the Gallifreyan nail tattoos? I’m still not sure on those myself. If he regenerates with those, I think that reveals more about the plot of the 60th Anniversary Specials than anything.
Not a big fan of brown, but I’m sure I’ll grow to like it. Can’t wait!!!
This how the drip feed us during series 5 they announced Matt and then Karen and then when filming started they did a costume reveal.
It’s Scottish tweed. It evokes the sort of clothes worn by Sherlock Holmes. I like it and the moustache too.
I really feel they could've chosen colours that were more flattering on him
We stan a 'stached doctor in this household
So you know how everybody noticed the different pattern on David Tennant's suit in the last special, don't you think it looks similar to this new one? Maybe some connection there that'll be revealed when the proper regen happens.
I wonder if time Lords donate their forms to be spliced into the genome for future regenerations. What if we had an old Doctor actor come back as the Master?
You could always draw on the mustache 😄
Something about his outfit tells me this new doctor's atoryline will have something to do with control (and it's loss, and what happens when we lose it).
I’m 50/50. While I like the coat and pants, the orange top is meh. That stands out more than the coat, pants and Ncuti himself. As for Millie’s outfit, it’s alright. Looks like something you’d see in everyday life and not notice.
I think the new look is a nice evolution from 13s, with a touch of 10 mixed in, which makes sense. Pure speculation, but the necklace could be a Saint Christopher medallion.
To be fair the 14th Doctor trailer starts with “I don’t who I am anymore” so Ncuti Doctor having such a put together look Could suggest this incarnation knows exactly who he is following the story of 14
Council of Geeks In classic Who, In The Leisure Hive, something happens to the 4th Doctor that causes him to become an old man and had a beard, until what had happened was reversed, then the War Doctor grew a beard at some point after his regeneration from the 8th Doctor, I had a really strange joke headcanon that the Doctor personally had a long-standing hated facial hair for some reason... Also though the not (yet) cannon, Peter Cushing movie Doctor had a moustache. (Incidentally, I've wanted to know if you would review the two Peter Cushing movies at some point if you haven't already..?)
