Representing the tenth incarnation of the titular character from the long-running British science fiction television series, this activity involves creating and wearing a costume that emulates the Doctor’s distinctive appearance during David Tennant’s portrayal. This typically includes a brown pinstripe suit, a light blue or white shirt, a tie, converse sneakers, and often a trench coat. Accessories like a sonic screwdriver or psychic paper complete the ensemble.
This form of creative expression provides a tangible connection to a beloved fictional character and allows fans to engage with the series’ narrative in a personal way. It fosters community among fans, providing opportunities for shared enthusiasm at conventions and online platforms. Emerging from the broader practice of costume play, this specific type developed with the character’s growing popularity, reflecting a wider cultural appreciation for science fiction and fantasy costuming.
