Doctor Who: 10 Weird Things The Doctor Keeps In His Pockets

By Joel Cornah /

1. Jelly Babies, Sweets And Chocolate

The Doctor€™s sweet tooth is well known, so what else could top our list? Back in The Web Planet fans saw him reveal a packet of chocolate from his pockets and from there it€™s a spiral into poor dental hygiene. Even the Eleventh Doctor snacks on a Jammy Dodger disguised as a TARDIS self-district button in Victory of the Daleks. Meanwhile, in The Three Doctors, the infamous Jelly Babies make their first appearance. But it is the Fourth Doctor who carries the torch for the famous sweets. In his first adventure, Robot, he offers some to Sarah Jane and Harry Sullivan and uses them periodically throughout his run. An infamous example is in The Face of Evil. After offering a Jelly Baby to Leela she responds, €œThey said the evil one eats babies!€ In The Sun Makers the Fourth Doctor offers a packet of liquorice allsorts to a suicidal man. He calls them €˜Jelly Babies€™, leading fans to wonder if the Doctor has a somewhat loose grasp on what €˜Jelly Babies€™ actually are. Who knows? The TV Movie of 1996 brought the babies back with both the seventh and eighth Doctors snacking on them and using them as distractions. Fans wouldn€™t see them again until the Master pulled them out in The Sound of Drums in 2007. In more recent times, the Twelfth Doctor has a much more stylish cigarette case of Jelly Babies, as seen in Mummy on the Orient Express. But wait, there's one more late entry...
