Costume Revealed! Peter Capaldi’s Era Officially Begins

Peter Capaldi’s era officially begins

The Doctor has a new look as Peter Capaldi’s era officially begins. In a picture released today by the BBC, Capaldi can be seen in the costume that will define his time as the Twelfth Time Lord in one of TV’s biggest roles. Sporting a dark blue Crombie coat with red lining, dark blue trousers, a white shirt as well as black Dr. Marten shoes, the look was created by Doctor Who costume designer Howard Burden.

Commenting on his costume, Peter Capaldi said: “He’s woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.” While lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat added: “New Doctor, new era, and of course new clothes. Monsters of the universe, the vacation is over – Capaldi is suited and booted and coming to get you!”


Filming for episode one of series 8 began earlier this month, after 10.2 million tuned-in on Christmas Day to get their first much-anticipated glimpse of Capaldi’s Doctor. Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC One, commented: “Peter Capaldi’s Doctor is officially recorded in history today with the unveiling of his new costume. It’s sharp, smart and stylish – The Twelfth Time Lord means business.”

Doctor Who is a BBC Cymru Wales production for BBC One.

    It’s a cross between the skinhead fashion (the real skinheads, not those that became part of right wing movements) with the crombie and DM and the Mod fashion with the buttoned collar and V neck jumper/cardigan. I like it.

    I think he needs a little pin badge or something… But anyway looks great! 🙂

    I have a feeling the Capaldi Era may even become the best! 🙂 🙂 🙂

    It is a fact that every Doctor so far has worn a tie, bow tie, cravat or celery at some point.

    Brilliant, I love it. It just feels like it needs an extra something… Fells like anyone could be wearing it whilst walking through the streets, needs something to set it apart. Hat, tie, cravat, pocket watch, anything… just a little more… Doctorishness.

    It looks like he needs a sonic, cape, coat or other kind of extra. I expect the waistcoat, shirt or jacket may change throughout the series, or else there will be some sort of addition like a short scarf or pocket watch.

    I imagine there’ll be some variation like Chris’s jumpers and Matt’s bow tie

    I don’t see anything that resembles something that Matt wore here.

    So maybe that’s why matt smith removed his bowtie before regenerating, Peter Capaldi doesn’t have one!

    looks great, just seems incomplete somehow, something missing

    Brilliant that they have gone for a sensible look. No gimmicks and durable enough to fit any situation. For some reason the lining reminds me of the 3rd Doctor, not a bad thing. Bring it on!
