Doctor who...

[Arlen]

Who, I wonder, was the genius that figured out that the Doctor could regenerate and thereby extend the life of that wonderful series after Bill Hartnell decided to hang it up? It's a brilliant idea because you take the bulk of old viewers along with you while picking up new viewers who are curious about the "new guy".

It was actually.... Bill Hartnell!!! He wanted to leave the series but he wanted to see it continue after he left, so he suggested the idea that the Time Lords could change their body at the point of death in order to survive. It wasn't called regeneration until, I believe, the third Doctor.


Jordanjm, Jamie often wore different outfits. The most common ones are shown in the following pictures. While tartan worn by Macrimmons is generally just one of the Macleod Tartans (Usually the Loud Macleod) the one he wore in the series is a red based tartan, but I forget which. (There has, recently, been a blue based 'Macrimmon of Skye' tartan made.
Generally he wore a button down shirt with an ascott or a polo shirt with Kilt, hose and shoes. He wore a sporran if he felt like it, basically. There are some episodes where he wore a frilly shirt and shoulder plaid, but not so often.
There's also the recognizable furry sheepskin vest he wore in a few episodes.









Here's a better view of the tartan if you want to figure it out.
