Two Doctor Who companion outfits for your delectation and delight! Outfits selected by a mixture of ones I, personally, like; lists on the internet; and a certain random element.


Difficult one this: Two very different outfits neither of which, arguably, is top league.

I don't really like any of these but Leela's is at least fun and silly while Martha, while elegant, is also very boring.

I do think it was nice to see Martha in something a bit glamourous, but I do appreciate the thought that had obviously gone into Leela's.

Leela's reads as scruffy, and as such doesn't work for me. Martha's is understated, but elegant, and as such quite an interesting option for a companion. Also, it feels 'of its time' n a way that I think will be more obvious as time goes on.

[purplecat]

I don't think it necessarily helps that the photos of Leela's are much more low res - but also obviously the look being aimed for is "Victorian Urchin" so scruffiness is almost certainly intentional.

I did not read 'urchin' from that costume at all! So, I guess it failed on the part of 'convincing' as well for me.

I'm surprised how much Martha is winning this poll, even if I did vote for her! Of course now that I saw that it could flip the other way. Martha's for me is elegant and timeless. Leela's costume looks as though it's trying far too hard. I'm all for impressive historical costumes, but not if they seem to be pushing things too much.

Leela's is very much a "costume" - an impression of Victorian Urchin.
