Each Doctor Who has their signature look, and the actor playing the doctor  plays a large role in defining it. David Tennant chose his trench coat and chucks, Tom Baker had his massive, colorful scarf, and now Matt Smith, with the help of a costume designer, has revealed his signature Who style.  It appears to be country professor punk dork.  This is a style that is rarely intentional, and it’s definitely a nod to time travel, but I’m not sold.  It’s nothing if not original, and I’m pretty sure we’ll see ill-fitting jackets, bow ties, rolled up jeans and Doc Martens on runways this fall, but does it create personality or is it just…fashion?

What’s your take?

There’ll be one last chance to see David Tennant as a Time Lord, it seems.  Tennant is slated to appear with all the other Doctors Who, even the dead ones, in a special, 15 minute short to help the BBC’s Children in Need charity fundraiser.  The mini-episode will air in the UK during the first episode starring Matt Smith, the 11th Doctor. No word on if this special will make it to the U.S.–I mean, without being uploaded to youtube…

This will be a historical moment for Dr. Who fans, as it will the first time all of the doctors will appear in the same episode.  As for Tennant fans, it will delay them missing him as Dr. Who for a few more months.

Who doesn’t love a man with powers of regeneration?  If you don’t like the current incarnation just wait, or if you’re the impatient sort you can always hit him with something.  Not that I advocate violence.  So, the question is…
