The costume Peter Capaldi will wear in Doctor Who has been revealed.

The Thick Of It actor replaced Matt Smith as the twelfth incarnation of the Time Lord at the end of the 2013 Christmas special.

The Twelfth Doctor sports a dark blue Crombie coat with red lining, dark blue trousers, a white shirt and black Dr Martens boots.

Speaking about his costume, Capaldi said: “He’s woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.”

Showrunner Steven Moffat added: “New Doctor, new era, and of course new clothes. Monsters of the universe, the vacation is over – Capaldi is suited and booted and coming to get you!”

The look was masterminded by Doctor Who‘s resident costume designer Howard Burden.

Peter Capaldi’s first full series of Doctor Who is expected to air in the late summer on BBC One.
