Thanks for uploading this! Not keen on the new gear, the coat would be fine if not for being in leather, which is all a bit too Eccleston, the Sonic is also heading into that new series frame work as well. It's as if the designers are trying to tie two seperate eras together, bridging the gap by slowly evolving itno Eccleston's look, when each Doctor should have their own seperate look. Also hate the bag, but he seems adimant that he's goona keep it.

@batmanmarch I don't mind the new look however I do think the old outfit suited him better and I have to agree with you about the seperate looks. I also have a Sylv, Paul and Sophie panel which i'm tempted to upload. Would you be interested?

@Davros663 Oh definately! I guess it's just a case of waiting to see if either the BBC and Big Finish actually decide to run with this new outfit for merchandising and stuff. I expect if they ever ask him back for the show, he'll insist of wearing this new outfit.

@batmanmarch In the panel with Sylv and Sophie he is asked if he would wear that outfit if he were to return to the show. His answer - Yes he even said he wears it to bed'. Hehe

an interesting look, especially the new sonic screwdriver. However, I think his movie costume suited him more -this is too much like the 9th Dr.

I always liked his voice. I like the jacket, but to me it's not the 8th doctor.

Won't it be good for Character Options to make an action figure of this. They've only released McGann's Dr as part of the 11 Dr set; a real shame it isn't available seperately. A figure of this would be cool.

[chewie211171]

The 'look' is interesting, but a bit too "Eccelston". I liked McGann's outfit in the movie. His sonic screwdriver is great but a bit big; wouldn't that be an interesting 'mine's bigger than yours' debate if the Dr's got together......

@batmanmarch I would imagine this would be the clothes he wore during the Time War. Hence the leather stuff to make him look more like he's gone to war, and also like his experiences have hardened him - which is why the Ninth Doctor looked the way he did in the first place.

Finally a Doctor that wears more then one outfit! His other outfit was a a costume found in a locker. Not like he had much choice of clothing, this was just better then being naked. So, I'm all for this new outfit. Besides, it shows the harder edge he'll need for the Time-Wars.

I like it. it could even be a military uniform for the time war!

@batmanmarch This is how Paul wanted his costume to be originally but they made him wear a frock coat and wig.

Paul McGann deserves the chance to break out his incarnation of the Doctor to fans worldwide. The audio series are a bit inaccessible, and personally I find the writing in the audio series to be a bit heavy-handed: Somehow it just doesn't feel very Doctor Who to me. Yet without having very much experience with McGann's material, I still think he could be an awesome Doctor. I like his new costume design so far, seems like he's only wearing civvies underneath. That sonic is bossin' and big.
