purplecat: The Tardis against a sunset (or possibly sunrise) (Doctor Who)
[personal profile] purplecat
Four more 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.




Selection of images of Turlough's outfit from most of his episodes. A school uniform consisting of a black suit, black waistcoat, white shirt and stripey tie.

Turlough Turlough, suffering from the early 1980s decision that companions should not change costume, was stuck wearing the school uniform of a school he explicitly said he hated. Possibly it was a subtle character point, but one suspects it was part of the ongoing failure of the classic series production teams to think of companions as anything but the most simple of cypher-characters.


Selection of images of Jo's outfit from The Three Doctors.  A blue mini-dress with white stripes at the bottom edge and at the ends of the wide sleeves.  Knee-length platform boots.  A short sleeved bright blue furry jacket that is just a smidgen longer than the mini-dress.

Jo in The Three Doctors This is rightly one of Jo's most well-known outfits, though not so commonly cosplayed - possibly because of the difficulty of sourcing and then working with bright blue fake fur.


Selection of images of Ryan's outfit from Fugitive of the Judoon.  Turquoise jeans (possibly due to the lighting?) A black anorak.  Red pullover.  White trainers.

Ryan in Fugitive of the Judoon Once again Ryan is cursed by Chibnall's determination to dress his characters like ordinary people.


Selection of images of Harry's outfit.  A blue naval blazer with two rows of buttons.  A light blue shir underneath.  Pale trousers.  Black shoes and, in one shot a beige duffle coat.

Harry Harry is the last companion to feature in the bracket. Before the 1980s obsession with companions in single outfits, Harry spent nearly all of his tenure in his vaguely naval outfit - least we forget he was a lientenant in the navy. I think he disguised himself as a man from the ministry at one point, and he may have changed his shirt from time to time, but that is about it!

This was quite a difficult round for me! Should I vote for Turlough because he looks so snazzy in that outfit, or for Harry because I love his duffel coat, or for Jo because her pale blue coat is so awesome? In the end Jo's fabulous coat and boots won :-)

Jo in the blue rules! Sorry to Harry looking nice and smart. I felt sorry for Turlough stuck in the school uniform.

I thought that kind of double-breasted jacket was briefly fashionable at the time Harry was a regular?

That costume's never struck me as "naval", more "stereotypical 1970s man who plays golf badly as an excuse to get drunk in the clubhouse, and drives a Jaguar or a Rover P6".
