9820_142	cherry question marks and turquoise zigzag patterns, sand-beige tweed plaid trousers, beige brogued
9820_143	spectator shoes, an ivory colonial-styled Panam cap with a scarlet paisley hatband and an upturned
9820_144	brim and a black umbrella with a cherry question mark-shaped handle. As with the three other
9820_145	Doctors costumed during the John Nathan-Turner era, the above-mentioned question marks on the
9820_146	Doctor's pullover and his umbrella handle continued the cherry-question-marked clothing motif that
9820_147	was introduced in the Fourth Doctor's final season and ended before the Seventh Doctor's
9820_148	regeneration.
9820_149	Although a seemingly casual outfit that reflected the Seventh Doctor's initially easy and whimsical
9820_150	manner, it took on a new light when he became more scheming and prepared in his missions – to
9820_151	reflect the emergence of his personality's more mysterious and darker aspects, his jacket, hatband,
9820_152	handkerchief, scarf and tie became more muted and darker in colour, now in shades of burgundy and
9820_153	brown. In the New Adventures novels, images of the Doctor on the covers usually omitted the
9820_154	pullover and eventually depicted him in a cream single breasted suit. On a DVD featurette ("Light
9820_155	in Dark Places") for Ghost Light, when drawing attention to the stylistic choice of performing in
9820_156	most of the serial without his hat and umbrella, Sylvester McCoy expresses some disdain for the
9820_157	garment, feeling it detracts somewhat from the mood of the story. The changes in colours make the
9820_158	Seventh the only Doctor under Nathan-Turner's tenure to greatly alter his costume; the changes to
9820_159	the outfits worn by his three previous selves during this production period tended to be more
9820_160	subtle and less noteworthy. The Seventh's own attire was repeatedly revised during his first
9820_161	season, initially including a crimson/black tartan scarf and burgundy braces, along with the
9820_162	whangee bamboo-handle umbrella.
9820_163	In the TV Movie the Doctor's costume changed again, with a return to a lighter jacket, now a light
9820_164	brown tweed. Gone were the question mark pullover, paisley tie and question mark umbrella, replaced
9820_165	by a scarlet brocade waistcoat and a brown/black zig zag pattern tie; joined by a maroon scarf.
9820_166	However, the Doctor retained his Panama hat.
9820_167	The Doctor enjoyed using his hat, umbrella and the TARDIS key, amongst other items, as physical
9820_168	props, usually as showy affectations or to command attention, while the umbrella could also be used
9820_169	to disarm and trip foes (Paradise Towers, Battlefield, Ghost Light, Survival). Like most of his
9820_170	previous selves, the Seventh carried any number of random items in his pockets, including
9820_171	technological devices and books (Dragonfire, Ghost Light). In a break from his past however, he
9820_172	spoke with a mild Scottish accent with rolled Rs, rather than in his past selves' Received
9820_173	Pronunciation speaking patterns.
9820_174	Story style
9820_175	In Season 24, the Seventh Doctor era began with a light-hearted approach, with stories like Delta
9820_176	and the Bannermen clearly aimed at a younger audience. However, in the final two seasons with
9820_177	Andrew Cartmel as script editor, the stories soon explored the true nature of the Doctor, hinting
9820_178	at dark secrets in his past. In Silver Nemesis, Lady Peinforte hints she knows the Doctor's secret
9820_179	of being more than just a Time Lord (deleted scenes in Remembrance of the Daleks and Survival also
9820_180	refer to this). Remembrance has the Doctor use "we" when referring to early Gallifreyan time travel
9820_181	experiments. Ace also became the focus of a dedicated character arc that was seeded from her
9820_182	introduction onwards and prominently played out during Season 26.
9820_183	With the cancellation of the series, these developments were never fully played out in the
9820_184	television series, but some of them were revealed in the New Adventures.
9820_185	Marc Platt's novel Lungbarrow is usually considered to be the conclusion of the "Cartmel
9820_186	Masterplan". In that novel, the Doctor is revealed to be the reincarnation of "the Other", a
9820_187	shadowy figure and contemporary of Rassilon and Omega from Ancient Gallifrey. Lungbarrow was
9820_188	originally intended for Season 26, but producer John Nathan-Turner felt that it revealed too much
9820_189	of the Doctor's origins. It was reworked to become Ghost Light instead.
9820_190	According to McCoy and script editor Andrew Cartmel, a number of Seventh Doctor stories were
9820_191	intended to satirise or protest the rule of then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. McCoy told the
9820_192	Sunday Times in 2010 "The idea of bringing politics into Doctor Who was deliberate, but we had to
9820_193	do it very quietly and certainly didn't shout about it...We were a group of politically motivated
9820_194	people and it seemed the right thing to do. At the time Doctor Who used satire to put political
9820_195	messages out there in the way they used to do in places like Czechoslovakia. Our feeling was that
9820_196	Margaret Thatcher was far more terrifying than any monster the Doctor had encountered. Those who
9820_197	wanted to see the messages saw them; others, including one producer, didn't." One story mentioned
9820_198	as having an anti-Thatcher theme was The Happiness Patrol in which the tyrannical Helen A outlawed
9820_199	unhappiness and remarked "I like your initiative, your enterprise" as her secret police rounded up
9820_200	dissidents. The Doctor persuaded "the drones", who toiled in the factories and mines, to down tools
9820_201	and rise up in revolt, an echo of the miners' strikes and printers' disputes during Thatcher's
9820_202	first two terms in office. Script editor Andrew Cartmel assembled several "angry young writers"
9820_203	such as Ben Aaronovitch and Rona Munro to produce storylines that they hoped would foment
9820_204	anti-Thatcher dissent.
9820_205	Other appearances
9820_206	Television
9820_207	The Seventh Doctor and Ace appeared twice on television between the time Doctor Who was cancelled
9820_208	and the 1996 television movie. The first was in 1990, in a special episode of the BBC2 educational
9820_209	programme Search Out Science. In this episode, the Doctor acted as a quiz show host, asking
9820_210	questions about astronomy; Ace, K-9 and "Cedric, from the planet Glurk" were the contestants. The
9820_211	Seventh Doctor then appeared in the 1993 charity special Dimensions in Time. A picture of the
9820_212	Seventh Doctor appears briefly in the Tenth Doctor story "Human Nature" (2007), in John Smith's A
9820_213	Journal of Impossible Things, and visions of him appear briefly in "The Next Doctor" (2008), "The
9820_214	Eleventh Hour" (2010), "Nightmare in Silver" and "The Name of the Doctor" (both 2013). He also
9820_215	appears in the 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor" (2013) helping his past and future
9820_216	incarnations save Gallifrey from the Time War.
9820_217	Audio
9820_218	The Seventh Doctor has featured in dozens of audio dramas. Storylines in these audios include his
9820_219	travels with Ace and nurse Thomas Hector Schofield- known as 'Hex'- who is the son of a young woman
9820_220	that the Doctor failed to save in his sixth incarnation who was particularly close to his
9820_221	then-companion Evelyn Smythe-, his attempts to reform Elizabeth Klein, a Nazi officer from an
9820_222	alternate timeline, and his later interaction with her other self from this reality, and the return
9820_223	of Mel as she travels with him and Ace.
9820_224	Novels
9820_225	Following the end of the TV series, the adventures of Doctor Who were continued in the Virgin New
9820_226	Adventures. The Seventh Doctor was the subject of 60 of these between 1991 and 1997. The Virgin
9820_227	novels pit the Seventh Doctor against the powerful Timewyrm, a complex plan to change history by
9820_228	his old enemy the Monk, facing the renegade time traveler Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart, a mysterious
9820_229	psychic brotherhood and their role in Earth's history, and culminates in a return to his family
9820_230	home on Gallifrey that reveals details about how the Doctor left Gallifrey in the first place.
9820_231	These novels also introduce original companions of Professor Bernice Summerfield- who proves so
9820_232	popular that she acquires her own spin-off series-, Roslyn Forrester, and Chris Cwej.
9820_233	His adventures also appeared in the BBC Past Doctor Adventures novels. Some of these are
9820_234	stand-alone stories, but authors Robert Perry and Mike Tucker create a miniseries that explores the
9820_235	Doctor's discovery that Ace is destined to die in her immediate future and the Doctor's attempts to
9820_236	prevent it (as well as a confrontation with his foe the Valeyard), setting up a complex
9820_237	confrontation with the twisted psychopath George Limb as Limb abuses time-travel to avoid his fate
9820_238	of becoming a Cyberman.
