THE PREPOSTEROUS SIXTH OUTFIT

I don’t remember - did I miss one of the Doctor Who stories?

He's regenerating every few years, he's got a new waist size, new leg measurements, different size of feet - does he have an outfit for every possible body type tucked away in the TARDIS somewhere, "just in case"? Where is he getting all these clothes from?

It seems very unlikely. Because, as a rule, men hate shopping for clothes. Sure, they'll go out, they'll buy new shoes, a new jacket, whatever, but trying stuff on, choosing between things, purchasing an outfit that will fit them after they've been on a diet - that's really more the territory of women.

I think maybe we missed the episode where he regenerated into a woman and went shopping. You know, being chased by Cybermen around Harrods, getting stuck with a congestion charge for the TARDIS. It was a good episode. She broke a nail in the wrong part of the time stream.
