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.

January 27th, 2014 - 10:01pmThe one with Clara is Matt a Smith outfit – post regeneration. The blue outfit above is the one they are going with.

January 27th, 2014 - 9:57pmI like the coat he’s sporting in the other photo with Clara way better. Not sure which they are going with.

January 27th, 2014 - 9:53pmThis costume, to me is exactly what we needed after Matt Smith’s rather eccentric look.
It reminds me a lot of Jon Pertwee, only without the “Miles Edgeworth” cravat.

January 27th, 2014 - 9:50pmLooks good I think it looks like a cross between the 3rd,8th and 11th doctors

January 27th, 2014 - 9:46pmVery suave. Simple, well tailored,classical, elegant and carries a presence. I like that.
Doctor Stu
January 27th, 2014 - 9:45pmNeeds a nice long black scarf. Is it just me who could imagine Matt Smith in this?

January 27th, 2014 - 9:44pmYeah. Even if it’s a super rare, which is unlikely, it would still be nice.

January 27th, 2014 - 9:43pmwow
Doctor99
January 27th, 2014 - 9:30pmi’ve got exactly the Same coat
The Other
January 27th, 2014 - 9:17pmWOW!! 😀
At last, and I need something to cheer me up, since I’m ill 🙁
It suits him perfectly, and it’s like Pertwee (My joint 2nd/3rd favourite Doctor) reincarnated!! 😀
Once again, I’m cetain Capaldi will be a great Doctor!
😀 😀 😀

January 27th, 2014 - 9:14pmI’m thinking its too similar to Matt’s last outfit. I mean is the 12th Doctor really gonna be like “Ooh these clothes will never do I need something much better!”, and then settle for that when it looks practically the same?

January 27th, 2014 - 9:11pmAND, there’s always the unannounced figures released in the TARDIS set…
100000BC
January 27th, 2014 - 9:11pmStill could; they had to show something for the toy fair and they only showed 10 figures, whereas recently there has been 11 or 12 per series. They could have had an early glimpse at the costume and already started work on the prototypes.

January 27th, 2014 - 8:56pmAfter Matt Smith’s Doctor, I think the character needs a rest from wearing bow ties, as the bow tie was Matt Smith’s gimmick. I wouldn’t have minded seeing a longer jacket, though.
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 27th, 2014 - 8:54pmCB should have waited and made this as well as the otheres.
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 27th, 2014 - 8:53pmI hope they find a slow-paced and inventive way for him to find it, like Matt did. Sometimes, like Tom and Sylvester, they just ‘happened’ to stumble across a costume that they kept.
Dalek the Supreme
January 27th, 2014 - 8:52pmIt’s…not bad, but I think a longer jacket would have suited him better. As it stands, it looks like someone took the ruffles off of Jon Pertwee’s costume. It doesn’t look bad, in fact, I think it looks pretty good, but I just can’t help but feel it’s missing something, like a hat or a longer jacket.

January 27th, 2014 - 8:51pmLove it! Should be easy to make in lego! 🙂

January 27th, 2014 - 8:51pmHe is the same age as Hartnell was when he started, believe it or not!!

January 27th, 2014 - 8:43pmI refuse to be drawn on the subjects of hats!

January 27th, 2014 - 8:39pmVery nice but I do have to agree with booboo that there is something missing.

January 27th, 2014 - 8:39pmi’m not sure
100000BC
January 27th, 2014 - 8:36pmYes, I like the sensible aspect of it.

thedaleksdeath
January 27th, 2014 - 8:35pmWOW! Very Pertwee! It has the frilly shirt the reed under his coat but he would look good with a black top hat, cane and a cravat!
What do you think of my suggestions?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
January 27th, 2014 - 8:34pmhave to admit not that mad on it, but i think it will suit the character well. part of me thinks he should’ve had 11’s purple coat and that 11 should’ve kept the tweed, but i think this will be good for Capaldi
