Costume changes - appendix

So far I have had a thorough look at the costume combinations worn by Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, covering his appearances season-by-season, then in a summary of smoking jackets and inverness  capees.

But what about after 1975 . . .

Following his departure as The Doctor, there were a few more occasions when he donned the velvet smoking jacket and inverness cape.

The Five Doctors
For his first and only return to the role within the official series run, he wore a dark burgundy velvet smoking jacket, with rolled collar and cord-piped edges; a brown tartan Inverness Cape; frilled white shirt; no cravat or tie (see below).


None of this costume was any of the pieces he wore in his original run. The tartan Inverness Cape is not the one first worn in The Curse Of Peladon (see below, left). Note that The Five Doctors cape has two wings (see above, top right), and not a single cloak spanning the back as (see below, left).
Neither is it the one worn only in Invasion of the Dinosaurs, which was a grey coloured tartan (see below, right).

Having gone through The Third Doctor’s entire wardrobe season by season, I thought it would be a good idea to break it down by the two main garments: smoking jackets and inverness capes, listing where they appeared.

Costume changes - season eleven



It’s The Third Doctor’s final year, and Trine-E and Zu-Zana’s work is nearly done.
But is The Doctor heading for a regeneration in style?
Season Eleven
The Time Warrior
The Doctor kicks off his final season wearing a simple costume of the two-button fronted bottle-green velvet smoking jacket with large collar and lapels, first worn in Carnival Of Monsters the previous year; a frilly apple-green shirt; and dark green velvet bow tie (see below).

NB: The publicity still below shows Jon Pertwee wearing the brown Inverness Cape from Carnival Of Monsters, with the cape draped over his shoulders rather than worn properly. This is an erroneous shot as this Inverness Cape is never worn at anytime during The Time Warrior.
