There isn't much to say about this other than... what the hell Dan.

As alluded to in the trailer, it is indeed Yaz who dresses Dan in this extravagant pirate garb, with Ray Holman stating in that aforementioned SFX interview that "Yaz has dressed [Dan] as a pirate, but as a Caribbean pirate, so he’s full panto pirate".

Hilariously, Holman made Dan's waistcoat by cutting up an old pair of curtains, with the intent being to make him look "completely out of place".

Mission accomplished!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
