Fans who bought the Series 8 DVD learned this particular bit of trivia in the bonus commentary that went along with the episodes. \ And that fantastic space-patterned button-down shirt he wore during the World Tour? His wife picked it out and he claims no other knowledge of its origin. The man likes a good bit of fashion, even if he doesn't always feel like he knows what he's doing.
