DOCTOR WHO Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) Shorter Scarf - Official BBC Licensed Scarf by LOVARZI

Product Information

The scarf was used to trip Eldrad down a chasm, ( TV: The Hand of Fear) and to trip the Tremas Master on the gantry. ( TV: Logopolis) The Doctor once got his long scarf caught in a pair of double doors at a UNIT Research Institute lab. While he exclaimed that he was caught in a force field, Sarah Jane Smith patiently worked to disentangle it. ( PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) According to Baker, the Doctor's scarf was the idea of costume designer James Acheson. Acheson, knowing little about knitting, procured large quantities of various colours of wool, and commissioned Begonia Pope, a friend of his, to create a colourful design. She proceeded to use all of the wool provided, resulting in the absurdly long, but iconic, accessory. [7]

Just for fun, I will suppose that the number of rows is the “significand” and the color coded base 60 number is the “manissa”.

BBC Novelisations

While the Tenth Doctor was travelling with Gabby Gonzalez, one of the scarves was on a mannequin with one of the Fourth Doctor's brown coats in the TARDIS wardrobe. ( COMIC: Laundro-Room of Doom) Doctor Who is the ultimate time travel show. Its episodic nature and its habit of swapping out the actors who play the titular role grants new viewers freedom to choose wherever they’d like to start watching; in effect, the viewer can choose to time travel throughout the show, dropping into each story in the same way that the Doctor drops in on historical events. The only real constant is the show’s embrace of change. As the Doctor prepares to travel to the planet Logopolis to get the Chameleon Circuit fixed, Tegan Jovanka appears in the console room (having previously gotten lost in the corridors of the TARDIS). The conduit between E-Space and our own universe is revealed to be a Charged Vacuum Emboitment (CVE) created by the mathematicians of Logopolis as part of a system to allow the Universe to continue on past its point of heat death. Nyssa shows up, explaining that she was brought to Logopolis by the same figure that the Doctor encountered. Logopolis soon falls under the Master's control, but the stasis field he is generating ends up releasing Entropy and eroding matter throughout the universe, threatening to destroy the entire universe. The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (adventure related by the characters the Fourth Doctor & Romana II) (2016) The TARDIS wardrobe contained a multi-coloured scarf during the Doctor's tenth incarnation. ( TV: The Christmas Invasion)

Asylum by Peter Darvill-Evans (features the Fourth Doctor early in his life interacting with Nyssa from a point after she has left the Fifth Doctor) For a very in-depth look at the scarves, including Pantone color references and wool brands, there is nothing better than DoctorWhoScarf.com. So, get knitting, Who-vians! For their second season, Williams and Read had planned out an overarching storyline that would run through the whole of the season. With more editorial control, it was also decided that the writers would put more emphasis on elements of fantasy and humour. Holmes wrote the first story, The Ribos Operation (1978), and the writing team of Bob Baker and Dave Martin handled what would be the final story of the season, The Armageddon Factor (1979). Douglas Adams wrote the second story, The Pirate Planet (1978), while another newcomer, David Fisher, wrote the third and fourth stories. Again, difficulties began to arise when the fifth story fell through. Robert Holmes consented to writing what would become The Power of Kroll (1978–79). He also appeared in the specials The Five Doctors (via footage from the incomplete Shada) and made his final appearance as the Doctor in the charity special Dimensions in Time (aside from a series of television advertisements in New Zealand in 1997).

A STILL CENTRE IN THE SPINNING UNIVERSE

So what if it never ‘occurred’ to YOU? That doesn’t make it ‘dumb’‘Crass’ or ‘gross.’However I do find your choice of words to describe your thoughts to be quite…oh what are the words I’m looking for?? Oh I know! Elementary and juvenile. Tom Baker wore several scarves during his seven series as the Doctor. Each one had its own unique characteristics. Select the links above for detailed information about each scarf including patterns, knitting specifications and yarn suggestions. There are also sections featuring the history of the design, tips for scarf construction, a gallery of scarves knitted by fans (and me) plus some fun ephemera. When John Nathan-Turner became the show's producer in Baker's last year, the Fourth Doctor was the first to sport an item of clothing adorned with question marks as a motif, in this case, above the points on his shirt collars. His overall costume was redesigned, changing the colour focus from brown to red. Designer June Hudson later revealed in an interview that Nathan-Turner had even given her permission to remove the scarf altogether if she wanted to. [9] Hudson opted to keep the scarf, as it was such an iconic part of the character. Upon regenerating, Romana II wore a copy of the Doctor's scarf (and the rest of his attire) after he told her to wear something more sensible and stylish. ( TV: Destiny of the Daleks) According to one account this was actually a manifestation of the TARDIS disguising itself as Romana. ( PROSE: The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe) The Justice of Jalxar (adventure related by the characters the Fourth Doctor, Romana I, Jago & Litefoot) (2013)

Yeah, it’s a lot of work, but to a true #4 fan, it’s worth it. Something you obviously don’t understand. The show is unapologetically optimistic about human nature, sometimes to a fault. I suppose I was also being overly optimistic when I made my replica of The Scarf. It’s difficult to take anyone wearing a fourteen-foot-long scarf seriously. It’s unwieldy. You have to loop it two or three times to keep from tripping over it, and it will still fall down to your knees. I don’t think I wanted to be taken seriously when I wore it; I wanted to be taken as a serious fan of a TV show that I loved, and that I wanted other people to love. When I stopped wearing it, it was because I wanted to be taken as a serious person in a different sort of way. When I made my version of The Scarf, I was doing the same thing as the characters on the show: I was declaring my allegiance to a humanist time-traveling alien by co-opting part of his costume. I was wearing my heart—and my love for the optimism of the show—quite literally around my shoulders. There are also novels and audio plays featuring the Fourth Doctor. Two early audio plays featuring Tom Baker voicing the Fourth Doctor date from Baker's television tenure as he had mainly declined to appear in any further audio plays since leaving the series. In 2009, however, it was announced that a new five-part series would be produced by BBC Audio (see below).Given Time Lord intellect, what if they used base 60 like they did in Babylon and much of the ancient world. Baker portrayed the character for seven consecutive seasons, which remains the longest tenure of any actor to portray the lead, counting both the classic and modern series. Baker's tenure as the Doctor is highly regarded among fans of the show and considered one of the most iconic incarnations of the character. doctor who New Zealand National Superannuation adverts".

The Doctor's scarf had been wound about Stimson's corpse by his Foamasi killer in an attempt to frame the Doctor for the murder. ( TV: The Leisure Hive) Tom loved visual jokes, provided they weren’t too obvious. He was always wanting the scarf to be made longer and longer, so that he could use it for comic business. When I first joined I think he was onto about his fourth scarf, the longest yet, but he wanted one that was longer still. He suggested to me that the original scarf and the duplicate which was used by stuntmen should be sewn together, which made a scarf that was over twenty feet. From this point on, Tom had to wear it looped around his shoulders several times, making it look a bit more like a shawl.
