Plot

The Eleventh Doctor walks out of his TARDIS, aware he's being broadcast to an audience. He goes on to say that a lot of people have asked him why he's so cool, but then goes on to elaborate that it wasn't actually a lot of people who asked him, nor did they use the word cool and, in truth, no one one had actually asked him the question at all. Though he says if he had been asked why he's cool he'd have answered with his clothes.

The Doctor goes on to say that for Children in Need he's going to be giving the clothes off his back. The Doctor then goes behind a board and starts undressing. He first removes his jacket. He says that it's unique in the universe and that it's made of infinity tweed and elaborates that if the jacket is hit by any kind of bullet or laser beam or even a triple enfolding quantum strength ninja star, it wouldd be completely ruined.

Next to be removed is his bow tie, which he says "are, and always will be, cool". After that is his shirt, his trousers, and his boots. He then steps out from behind the board fully clothed despite having got undressed.

The Doctor says that if his audience wants to bid for his completely unique items of clothes then a URL is appearing on the screen right now. He then states that clothes he's now wearing aren't real and that he's wearing hologram clothes. He urges the audience not to touch the red button on their remotes or they might just disappear, just as his bow tie vanishes, followed by his jacket. He begs the audience to stop, and hides behind his TARDIS before his shirt disappears. He says that he's going to need a diversion before covering his nipples. He then tells the people making the broadcast to run a trailer to cover his modesty.
