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.

February 10th, 2014 - 11:40amMmmm, I’m in two minds over that. I suppose one would come in useful for certain stories rather than falling back on the sonic.

February 9th, 2014 - 9:27pmI reckon his sonic is gonna look like river songs because remember he gave it to her, even thou it looked liked the 10ths but the 10ths was destroyed in the 11th hour episode so the new doctors sonic must look like river songs

February 4th, 2014 - 9:26amWho’s to say Capaldi won’t wear glasses? None of David Tennant’s promo shots included his.
No doctor who’s ever owned specs wore them all the time. It can make it tricky to get the right shot/feeling to come across sometimes.
I say all this as a wearer of specs/contact lenses!

February 3rd, 2014 - 9:51pmThere was a rumour a few weeks ago that the school teacher from the day of the Dr might become a compangion
The Other
February 3rd, 2014 - 8:35pmThat would be awesome!!
😀 😀 😀
Great to see the old dog back in the TARDIS!
It would be like a family if the male companion is true as well
The Doctor is dad
Clara + male companion are kids
K.9 is the pet (but so much more)
I wonder if this is connected to the interesting new variant Al Dewar spoke about…
