Though he says if he had been asked why he’s cool he’d have answered with one word - his clothes. Especially the bow tie and a fez sometimes. He then tells his audience that that’s more than one word, but he lost track because he’s excited.
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’d be completely ruined so please be careful with it.
Next to be removed by the Doctor is his bow tie which he says are and always will be cool. After that is his shirt. Looks like an ordinary shirt, feels like an ordinary shirt and is in fact an ordinary shirt. Then his trousers. Not just any old trousers. Hyper trousers. Very similar to normal trousers, but with the word hyper in front. Then his boots. He throws one over the board, then a second and then a third. The Doctor then says Time Lords are full of surprises. He then steps out from behind the board fully clothed despite having got undressed.
