DanaK February 22, 2019 Author Share February 22, 2019 (edited) There are rumors that there are some changes to the Doctor’s costume for Series 12. The first is the coat is now gray (though the current one looks gray to me), with one person saying it’s because Jodie was too cold in the first one and this one is warmer. The person also said they saw it being sold at Amazon. Whether by accident or at the UK or US store, I don’t know. The second is there will be some different t-shirts, though I don’t recall if it’s in place of or in addition to the previous t-shirts Edited February 22, 2019 by DanaK Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/91129-series-12-production-news-spoilers-speculation-discussion/#findComment-5075604

See the link below for pictures http://cultbox.co.uk/general/doctor-who-series-12-bradley-walsh-tosin-cole-and-mandip-gill-filming-in-barry There are fan photos with Jodie and pictures of the cast for World Down Syndrome Day that suggests Jodie is currently wearing a darker costume (she wears a puffy jacket in the fan pictures that covers a lot of it, but enough peeks through), with speculation and theories that the Doctor is wearing something like a tux, possibly for just the episode they are currently filming since the rest of the cast are in tuxes.

Or that ST: Discovery/Picard have been cancelled...but will go on to be produced and aired to save face. In other words, a load of nonsense made up out of thin air by disgruntled idiots who can't stand new iterations of something they want to be gatekeepers of because they want everything to always be exactly the same as some imaginary golden era they mostly made up in their heads (because let's face it, no show is ever as perfect as the rosy-tinted glasses of nostalgia make it feel), and who know if they spout enough hateful guff it will be believed and spread by others just like them and cause damage in the process. Doctor Who thrives on change and always has. Chibnall's Who isn't to everyone's taste any more than Moffat's or Davies's were - or John Nathan-Turner's or Robert Holmes's, and so on - but the fact that everyone won't always like the same era of Who only means that taken overall there is something for everyone, because everyone has that special era that is just right for them. More Who is never a bad thing, whether it is exactly to our own personal taste or not. Noddy Holder? Sorry, but no, I don't see it - especially at his age.
