Flamboyant Doctors

[elisi]

This is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. With endless thanks to kerk_hiraeth who sent it my way!

ETA: Note for people from Who_Daily: This is not a play, it's Jon Pertwee talking about his life!

An Hour with Jon Pertwee | BBC RADIO DRAMA: The star of Doctor Who, The Navy Lark and Worzel Gummidge entertains an audience with his one-man biographical show.

Please be warned, no liquids whilst listening and also beware that you might just burst out laughing repeatedly, which might earn you funny looks if you are in public.

Includes how his Doctor's look came about, which brings me to this interview with Ncuti Gatwa:

Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa teases several new Doctor Who costumes for his incarnation in season 14 and picks his favorite past Doctor's look.

Happy weekend everyone. :)

Ncuti/Fifteen is going to be the one time I break tradition, and get a DW shirt featuring only Fifteen, and not looking for the usual whole line-up.

And his comments continue to make me not regret that decision once. xD

Thank you for sharing! Don't think I listened to that play yet.

And the more I hear and see Gatwa the more I like him, and my excitement to see him in action as the Doctor grows. (He is very right too :D )

Many thumbs up! I am so excited to see what he'll be like.

[elisi]

You're welcome - although it looks like they listed it wrong. It's not a play, it's him talking about his life. Which is a lot more interesting and exciting than any play, I think! :)

And very much agreed on Gatwa, I only know him from Sex Education, but he's a delight there so I can't wait to see what he does as the Doctor.

Hello there

To be fair, Capaldi's costume was also obviously influenced by Three --but a) it *was* a different style/era, Pertwee did a lot of seasons, and b) Twelve did also later go "I'm gonna wear a jacket and a hoodie and a shirt and a T-shirt and a jumper or vest at the same time, the Laws of Fashion are mine and they will obey me, Time Lords are like onions I have decided (they have layers)" etc.

Or, as Honest Trailers put it "your uncle who never got married and moved to Vegas in his 40s" :D

I'm glad his Doctor will have multiple looks. I feel like we barely got any changes with Thirteen: apart from that great tuxedo in Skyfall, her look never really evolved like those before her.

All good points.

LOL! And somehow this icon fits perfectly. *g*

Thus perfectly reflecting her character arc... *eyebrow raise*

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Re your more recent post. The media coverage of the conflict is quite depressing. I do fear there will now be genocide of the palestinian people, and that will be with the eager support of the world's most powerful countries. I thought school taught us that trying to cage off, progressively strangle and desire to obliterate an entire race of people was a terrible thing, the most heinous crime possible? It's like the elephant in the room is waving its trunk but no Western world leader wants to see it.
People are so terrified to criticise, incase they are called antisemitic... but I saw an Israeli guy being interviewed on TV today who wanted to wipe all the palestinians out, he called the entire population terrorists. The whole population. He said if they didn't attack them then Israel will be wiped out. That's genocidal talk. Why is this fine?
I don't support either side, I'm on the side of people just peacefully trying to get on. All the world does is goad violence in this region (and sell more weapons) instead of work out a better way. It's sick.

Anyway that's my rant! Pardon me, but I get the frustration.

[elisi]

No need to pardon, that was a good rant. As an article said (which I will try to find) we are probably about to see a genocide in real time. :(

[elisi]

Yeah. :(
