Doctor Who 2014

[The Mad Collector]

New year, new thread, new Doctor

 

[Tonyblack]

Blimey, what big feet he's got.

 

[Jack Remillard]

I think I like it.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Blimey, what big feet he's got.

Doc Martens boots always look huge, I've got a pair with steel toecaps which I used to wear when I visited warehouses for my previous job and they're enormous for a size 7.

Looks like a toned-down Pertwee.

So, lately, I've been listening to a bunch of Big Finish audios, namely Oh No It Isn't! (the first in a Doctor Who spinoff based on novel character Professor Bernice Summerfield), The Valley of Death (originally meant for Tom Baker's time, and written for him based on an initial outline), Doctor Who and the Pirates (featuring Bill Oddie as a psychotic pirate and a musical third episode), and Colditz (a historical with a time travel twist).

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I would say he is dressed like a 50s Teddyboy, Drape jacket with the red lining drainpipe style trousers and all that's missing is the brothel creepers.(thats crepe soled shoes)

 

[SpideyGirl]

He looks like he is trying really hard to hold back a snigger

 

[Quatermass]

Well, here's something for Aussie Whovians: Peter Davison doing signings at ABC Shops in Melbourne, Brisbane (YAY!), and Sydney.

The internet reacts to Capaldi's costume.

[Quatermass]

I've finally taken the plunge and listened to the Big Finish 50th Anniversary special, The Light at the End. Not perfect, a bit simple, but immensely enjoyable, and a fanboy's dream come alive. It certainly was more entertaining than The Day of the Doctor, albeit by a small margin.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

HUGE SPOILER for Capaldi's first episode, if true.

Just saw the photo and the jacket and DMs look good but what the hell is going on with the trousers? They're all over the shop. Has he twisted them round for some reason?

 

[chris.ph]

i want to know where he had those boots from because ive been searching for dm brogue boots for years : : : : :

 

[mirandashell]

They're on the DM website, aren't they? I've got a pair of the shoes and a pair of Chelseas from there.

Here you go:

[Who's Wee Dug]

They're a bit pricy but I suppose your paying for a brand name.

 

[mirandashell]

Not really. They should last you for years if you look after them with the occassional polish. I'm looking for about 10 years use out of mine. So that works out at £9 a year. So if you can afford the initial expense, they're a bit of a bargain.

I just realised.... It's the Samuel Vimes 'Boots' Theory of Economic Injustice!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I'm extremely heavy on boots or shoes I would be lucky if I got 2½ to 3 years out of them, which makes them pricey if you're paying £200 or more for them.

 

[mirandashell]

That's true.

My shoes cost me £90 I think. And my boots about £120.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I had a pair of leather cowboy boots I loved fitted like a glove very comfy, in the 10 years or so for the sole n' heeling it would have been cheaper to buy new boots every 2 years but could never find a pair like them again.

 

[mirandashell]

I would hate to have to stop wearing DMs. I have a bad back and they actually help with my walking.
