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

They aren't DM's

The BBC has had to correct itself over the make of boots being worn by Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.

The entire costume ensemble was revealed last Monday, with the BBC stating that the footwear was Dr Marten shoes. However, it was subsequently realised that the corporation had erred and that they were, in fact, made by Loake - a Kettering-based footwear firm with a warrant of appointment to the Queen. It also transpired that Capaldi had bought the boots himself.

In a report in the Daily Telegraph, Nicholas Roumana, the owner of the British Boot Company (spot the coincidence as regards the shop's initials!) in Camden Town, said of the Loakes:

Peter Capaldi came in a week or two before Christmas and said he was looking for a pair of smart dress boots. I suggested this one, because not only is it very smart, it's exclusive to us and made in England. It's a great boot. He bought it in size 10.

Very good. I am hoping to start stocking sound chipped plush Doctor Who keyrings in the summer. I saw them at the trade fair earlier this week and there will be all the Doctors available plus the tardis, a cyberman and a couple of daleks in different colours. At the moment only the last four are available I should get them when the various Doctors are produced

I hope she's got permission to do those. The BBC tend come down hard on copyright breakers.

BTW, sad news. Christopher Barry is now dead.

He co-directed the first Dalek story, and not only did the debuts of the Second Doctor (The Power of the Daleks, now sadly missing) and the Fourth Doctor (Robot), but he also directed the classic stories The Daemons and The Brain of Morbius.

Bumping this thread because I have a new Doctor Who-related avatar and signature. It's the Other Doctor, who made his debut in the Big Finish audio epic UNIT Dominion. His first line to the Seventh Doctor is "Hello, you! Meet you from aeons along your timeline!" The Seventh Doctor's response? "[sarcasm]The giddy joy[/sarcasm]." He also has such an annoying habit of saying "Laters!", so much so, that the Seventh Doctor asks his companion to shoot him if he ever starts saying that.

Of course, this Other Doctor has a secret. It's pretty much out now, but for those of you with an interest in remaining spoiler-free, I'll reveal the secret in spoiler tags.

Spoiler

He isn't the Doctor at all.

He is the Master.

Yep, you heard that right. The Master actually masquerades as a future Doctor.

It's a moot point by now, as he actually is revealed to be the Master for the credits of the recently released Dark Eyes 2, where he has a wonderful line (from the trailer), mocking the Doctor about his battle against the Daleks...

What have you been DOING since you stole that empty TARDIS of yours, since you first landed on Skaro? [...] Shouting, "Look at me! I'm not fighting a war!" while you battle the Daleks all the way through space and time?

BTW, just bought the DVD release of The Web of Fear today. Had a quick flick through it. Looks interesting.

Lego have said they have resolved the licence issues that would stop them making Doctor Who sets
