The Romance of Crime (adventure related by the characters the Fourth Doctor, Romana II & K9) (2015) The TARDIS wardrobe contained a multi-coloured scarf during the Doctor's tenth incarnation. ( TV: The Christmas Invasion)
When I first got into Doctor Who, I wanted to let everyone else in my orbit know about it. Because I was seventeen years old, I had to do so in the most dramatic way possible, so I did what any dedicated fan would do: I bought seven different colors of yarn and I knit my own version of The Scarf. 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) The Seventh Doctor used the tartan scarf from his newly found outfit to stall the First Rani as he tried to escape her laboratory. ( TV: Time and the Rani) The Doctor replaced the lost scarf with a paisley one in the TARDIS wardrobe. ( PROSE: The Useful Pile) An alternate scarf was introduced and only used in "Image of the Fendahl,""Underworld" and "The Invasion of Time." The pattern seems to have been based on the stunt duplicate but is appended on the end with around 50 percent more stripes. The colors are similar but mostly darker than the original. It was used in lots of publicity photos including those from location work on "The Sun Makers" even though the stunt duplicate was used in recording of that story. 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!

Did you really bean “base” or did you intend to use the word “Blase?” Either way, still inaccurate. According to Tom Baker, when a woman named Begonia Pope was asked to knit a scarf for the new Doctor, she was unsure how long a scarf was required. She consequently used all of the wool she had been given, resulting in a ridiculously long scarf. The producers loved it and, after it had been shortened slightly, used it for the Fourth Doctor's first story Robot. It was understood that I, as principal designer, would do four of the seven shows and any special assignments. The biggest of these assignments was redesigning the costume for Tom. By this time, in 1980, Tom was an international star. He’d been playing the Doctor for six years, and any change in his clothing was really unthinkable; but it was my assignment to think the unthinkable. So what I decided was that the new design really had to be an apotheosis of the old image, not a break with it. I’d always loved Doctor Who and some of what I’d seen in the series had really left an impression on me. I particularly loved the work of Jimmy [James] Acheson, John Bloomfield and Roly [L. Rowland] Warne, and I thought that Barbara Kidd did some wonderful things on the show.
Fans of the show take advantage of that fertile ground as well. It’s possible to write fanfiction set in any time, at any place, with any other characters from any other story, and still have a piece of fanfiction that is distinctly Doctor Who, provided that a certain time-traveling alien pops in. (Archive of Our Own alone currently lists more than 100,000 works under a Doctor Who tag.) Fans have the freedom to drop the Doctor into whatever story they’d like, making the character both ubiquitous and entirely their own. When June Hudson was asked to design a new outfit for the Doctor at the start of season 18, she was given the option to omit the scarf by producer John Nathan-Turner. Eventually, she decided the scarf had become too much a part of the Doctor's image and designed a new one to go with the burgundy colour scheme of the Doctor's new outfit.

The Pursuit of History (adventure related by the characters the Fourth Doctor, Romana II & K9) (2016) The scarf appeared in the Matrix on Gallifrey when it was used to prevent the Doctor from falling down a cliff face. However, the scarf disappeared not long afterwards. ( TV: The Deadly Assassin) 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.
In 1979, after I’d done two other big science fiction programmes for the BBC, Survivors and Blake’s 7, I was assigned to be principal costume designer for Doctor Who. The producer for Blake’s 7, David Maloney, had encouraged me to be daring with my designs, and I think that’s what really caught the attention of the Doctor Who producer, Graham Williams. He gave me three of the six episodes for the 1979 season, and I loved every minute of working on them. So when Graham left, and his unit manager, John Nathan-Turner, took over as producer and asked me to design all the episodes for the next series, I jumped at the chance. In the end, my department head nixed it, because the workload was thought to be just too big, and it was agreed that I would alternate with another designer.The Beast of Kravenos (adventure related by the characters the Fourth Doctor, Romana II & K9) (2017) The Doctor escaped execution by using his scarf to trip up Count Federico's executioner. ( TV: The Masque of Mandragora) The Fourth Doctor's stories saw fewer recurring (or returning) enemies than in previous eras. The Daleks only appeared twice and the Cybermen only had one story, Revenge of the Cybermen (1975). UNIT, which had featured in most of the Third Doctor's adventures, only appeared in four early Fourth Doctor stories, playing a minor role in its last appearance, season 13's The Seeds of Doom (1976) in which none of the regular UNIT staff appeared. 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).
