10 INSANE Doctor Who Season 1 Theories
10. The Doctor’s Costumes Have Hidden Significance
Despite only appearing in two episodes so far, Ncuti Gatwa has quickly established himself as ‘The Fashion Doctor’. He’s already worn five costumes, with many more to follow in Season 1.
The Doctor’s previous incarnations have all, to a certain extent, stuck to one core costume, occasionally swapping a shirt or t-shirt or coat out for a different one, but always maintaining a certain silhouette. So this is quite a departure.
However, the most puzzling thing about the Fifteenth Doctor’s wardrobe was the choice to announce the chequered ensemble as his ‘main’ look, when the leather jacket costume has, so far, featured much more prominently. Unless, as some have suggested, there’s more to this Doctor’s costumes than meets the eye.
Just as the future Doctor in Flesh and Stone was distinguishable from his present-day counterpart because he was still wearing his jacket, could the Fifteenth Doctor’s costumes correspond to specific moments in time?
Perhaps all the scenes featuring the chequered outfit take place in the Doctor’s future. After all, there did seem to be something different about the Doctor stood in the bar, observing Ruby from a distance.
Either that, or Fifteen has just finally decided to delve into the TARDIS wardrobe.
