THE new Doctor Who showed off his new time travel gear yesterday - and showed that though he may be more of a master of time he's no master of fashion.
The new Doctor's gaudy new outfit consists of a multi-coloured drape jacked in different materials, yellow and black striped trousers and a tweedy waistcoat with tails.
He wears a [?] polka-dot floppy bow-tie and green shoes with red spots.
Viewers will get their first glimpses of the outfit when the new doctor, played by Colin Baker, materializes for the first time in March.
Colin, the sixth Dr Who, is taking over the role from Peter Davison and then his first four part adventure to bring this current [?] to an end.
The idea for the costume came from John Nathan-Turner who produces the series. He asked the BBC's costume department to design a multi-coloured outfit in bad taste.
"I think we've achieved it," Mr Nathan-Turner said yesterday. "I think the outfit for the new doctor is totally tasteless."
