Doctor Who: 10 Weird Things The Doctor Keeps In His Pockets
3. Everything In The Fourth Doctor's Pockets
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the sheer volume of things he manages to keep in his pockets. In Genesis of the Daleks, the Fourth Doctors pockets are turned out to reveal a magnifying glass, that aforementioned yo-yo, handcuffs, a wooden whistle, a bag of jelly babies, a crystal, an etheric beam locator, a penlight, a card with a diagram on it, interplanetary business cards and a black marker cap. Back in Robot, his first story, he had similarly bottomless pockets. Among other things they included ball-bearings, a stuffed white dove, underwater goggles, a "freedom of Skaro" scroll, a pilot's license for the Mars-Venus rocket run, a galactic passport, a booklet marking him as an honorary member of the Alpha-Centaurian table tennis club, a deck of playing cards, a telescope, a metal flute, an extremely heavy business card and an unidentified brown, furry thing... It became something of a running joke that whenever he is searched, a pile of odd assorted items slowly builds in front of his captors.
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.
