I can not tell you how much that made me squee on a really really shit day.
Thank you.
I'm having a moment of watching everything I've been trying to work for and wanted go pouring down the drain. I'm on the verge of losing my house, and my child, and everything I have, after working so hard to keep it because of the economy. So thank you for this bright spot.
At about the 2 minute mark the hair on my neck stood up because DAMN after being The Weird Kid Who Read Weird Shit (over 40 years ago) it was like sweet sweet candy.
Maybe it's Steven Moffat who has the thing about coats - Jack, Ten, Eleven, Sherlock. Though I believe this coat is Matt Smith's own idea of what the Doctor might wear.
Though I believe this coat is Matt Smith's own idea of what the Doctor might wear. Funnily enough, it isn't. I mean, the coat is his own, but when they were working out the Doctor's costume they were apparently going for a pirate-y kind of thing (possibly with a similar coat), and Matt hated it. It was him who wanted the bow tie, and the tweed jacket is his too.
here it is, from an interview in the Mirror before s5 started: "Matt, who also created the Time Lord's new look of tweed jackets and bow ties, admitted he is hoping to add an overcoat to his wardrobe He said: "Originally I was going to have a black leather coat or a blue swashbuckling coat and possibly a hat too but, somewhere along the line, the idea got dropped. I hope it's revived in time for series two." I don't think he's worn the coat on the show itself, just for promo stuff, but we've seen a lot of hats LOL.
