BBC Unveils New Doctor Who Logo, And A New Look For The Doctor
Posted by Jon Lachonis on October 6th, 2009

The folks behind the new Doctor Who catch wind of the reaction to his new ‘look’ and decide on a wardrobe makeover. I know, I know, some of you like it (fools), but to me it just doesn’t jive with the youthful new image I was expecting from Doctor Who. Oh, to heck with being diplomatic about it – he looks silly!…
