Doctor Who: 10 Weird Things The Doctor Keeps In His Pockets
10. Teddy Bear
This is one item that fans would love to see make a return in some sentimental scene, perhaps of the Doctors childhood. During The Trial of a Time Lord saga, the Sixth Doctor had his pockets searched to reveal that he kept a teddy bear in there. As his captors examine it, the Doctor protectively snatches the bear back and gives it a comforting cuddle. Among the other items viewers saw in this scene are a torch, a pocket watch, an oilcan, a cat face mask and a white bag of stick candies. The cat mask is an interesting one as the Sixth Doctor had a penchant for cats. Note the cat badge on his lapel. Colin Baker even named some of his cat badges. The black one is called Weeble. But it's ultimately the teddy bear that got our attention. Where did it come from? Where did it go? Perhaps nobody will never know. Perhaps even 900 year old Time Lords need a teddy.
Joel Cornah, is an author hailing from a small isolated village in Lancashire.
Having told stories of dinosaurs, penguins and dragons to his younger siblings for nigh on two decades, it soon became apparent that these tales needed to be written down. Gathering the myriad of maps, family trees, illustrations and noted ideas, he began work on the world of dyngard. Having grown along with the audience from a collection of loosely related children’s stories, it became a whole world of adventure, magic and questions.
He was awarded a degree in Creative Writing from Liverpool John Moors University and spent seven years writing a comical newspaper for The Barrow Downs Tolkien discussion forum.
Currently running a charity café in Parbold village, Joel is often found deep in discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the long history of Doctor Who, and desperately trying not to frighten people away. Often with limited success.
