So yeah, Pertwee-esque in costume at least:

Official??

If so I like it. (Though I do really like the long coats 10 and then 11 were later...)

Yep, it's up on the BBC website.

[mathesont]

A little more color somewhere in the costume would have been nice, unless he intends to spend a lot of time blending into dark corridors

[Jaim Magnus]

He's supposed to be more 'intense' than previous Doctor's.  Besides, that's still more colour than Ecclestone's 9th.

Has no less color than the 11th's second costume. (Which I really liked by the way.)

[Lorcan Nagle]

I'm sure he'll get another outfit or two as time goes by, like how Tennant had the brown and blue suits and Smith had the military overcoat

Funny thing...the 10th's suits changed color depending on whether they were going forward or backward in time. Same thing with the 11th's bowtie.

I wouldn't call it Pertwee-esque--no frills & ruffles, no cape!

Speaking of costumes (yo, Øystein!!), having watched "The Day of the Doctor" a few times, I felt there was something a bit familiar about the dress of the Trenzalorians...and then it struck me, their costumes (IMO) greatly resemble Norwegian bunads (regional folk costumes).  Any others think so?
(NOTE:  this would only occur to anyone who is Norwegian, of Norwegian descent, or who had lived in Norway for a little while.)
EDIT:  in fact, Trenzalore, a wintry world with only a few minutes of daylight every day, could easily be North Norway in the dead of winter...
cheers,

[Øystein]

True, it does remind you somewhat about bunads :)

[Lazarus Jaguar]

So yeah, Pertwee-esque in costume at least:

I'd say more Hartnell or Troughton than Pertwee.  I like it though.  Between the older Doctor and this outfit, seems to have more the feel of the older Classics.

If so I like it. (Though I do really like the long coats 10 and then 11 were later...)

if that the official one why do I feel it is a call back to the 2nd doctor?

[worktroll]

Ecclestone only wore black because he was waiting for something darker to come along ...

[DEZOAT]

 ??? I have a question . Why have they not release in DVD the Adventure in time and space  the making of Doctor Who. I see its only in Australia. Any information. I check BBC website noting there. Funning they came out with Day of the Doctor , but not Adventure in time space .

[Lorcan Nagle]

Looks like it's only been released in the UK thus far.

I saw a blue box and I want to paint it bla~a~ack...

[worktroll]

You lightened the state pf homicidal rage work has me in at the moment, for which I thank you O0

(OTOH, for anyone who's read Simon Green's Nightside series, Ecclestone would make a great Alex the Bartender, and descendant of Merlin Satanspawn, no?)

Yeah. Both Australia and the UK have already seen the release for Adventures in Time and Space. [I got my copy here in Australia about a week or so ago.]

So far as I know, the release of the DVD in the US has been held up. I haven't learnt why yet.

Capaldi's upcoming outfit, to me, is...meh in the picture. Need to see it move to know if I'll like it...

BTW, I know it's just a book, so the canonicity of it is questionable, but did anyone notice that the Tales of Transalore novel says that Matt Smith's Doctor was there, protecting the planet for 900 years?

Either the book's wrong, the last regeneration has an extra long cycle or we were off on what constitutes dying of old age for a regeneration...

I thought "The Time of the Doctor" said 300...but, could just be misremembering...

[Wrangler]

Looks like their busy filming Dr. Who.  Ain't Cool News has a link about them filming in London.  Associate news leak that talks about it, talks about who 1st new villian of the season is.  Not crazy, about it, but what hey. Jack the Ripper

Ruger

remember he was 300 years older when he die in impossible astronaut and he didn't seem to age at all.  So if he was saving Christmas for 900 years my guess is that aging for a time lord is a very long process.   How old was the first doctor before his first regeneration?

[Lazarus Jaguar]

Who knows.  If you go and listen to how old the Doctor says he is over the years, he contradicts himself a lot.  Guess he lost count and makes up numbers now.

Agreed, this is just...enh.  I hope Capaldi stays around for a few years, so he can change up the costume a bit like Tennant and Smith did.

Ruger

I didn't think it could've been more than 500...still, it's the most time the Doctor has spent in any one place, except for the youth of his first incarnation on Gallifrey.

 I have watching some of the Doctor Who DVDs for the last week. The beginning and Lost in time sets. I have to admit it was very enjoyable.

[Lorcan Nagle]

I found Lost in Time to be fascinating.  I'd not seen any Hartnell or Troughton episodes before, and I was impressed with the production quality.

Lost in time is..Hartnell and troughton? Or just Troughton? I have only seen the Aztec Story Arc with Hartnell,
thanks to BBC airing it as part of the Doctors Revisted, and would love to see more of Hartnell...

[Lazarus Jaguar]

Uh, ok....looking through my DVD collection, seems I have two copies of "Snakedance".......

Um,..how much woukd one go for?.....

[Lorcan Nagle]

It's a compilation of the episodes in the BBC archives from all the serials with missing parts.  3-disk set, 1 of Hartnell episodes and 2 of Troughton. Of course, it includes The Enemy of the World and The Web Planet, which have since been completed (or in the Web Planet's case, all bar one episode was recovered which has been animated)

You asked...so here it is:

ARGH!!!

 ;)

I thought "The Time of the Doctor" said 300...but, could just be misremembering...

He had been there for 300 years between the time he made Clara leave and when she showed back up the first time. There was no mention of how long it was between that visit and when she came back as he was getting ready to die...

How old was the first doctor before his first regeneration?

Well, the second Doctor told Victoria he was around 450 years old in "The Tomb of the Cybermen" (and the first Doctor was supposed to have died of old age), but we all know the Doctor lies is rule 1...

Lost in time is..Hartnell and troughton? Or just Troughton? I have only seen the Aztec Story Arc with Hartnell,
thanks to BBC airing it as part of the Doctors Revisted, and would love to see more of Hartnell...

The "In the Beginning" boxed set has the first 3 serials, "An Unearthly Child", "The Daleks" and "The Edge of Destruction", and there are numerous other serials of the first Doctor's adventures available for purchase (I have the "In the Beginning" and "Lost in Time" boxed sets, as well as "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" and "The Tenth Planet" for the first Doctor myself...although I also have the novelizations of "The Daleks", "The Edge of Destruction", "The Sensorites", "The Romans", "The Space Museum", "The Time Meddler", "The Massacre" and "The Tenth Planet")...I wouldn't mind getting more myself...
