The Naked Truth[1] was a mini-episode starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. It was the 2011 Children in Need special.
The mini-episode saw the Doctor be undressed by an audience who were doing so by pressing the red button. Despite him breaking the fourth wall and directly interacting with an audience it was kept in universe through the narrative device of the Doctor making a broadcast.
Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor makes you an offer you can't refuse… bid for his costume for Children in Need![1]
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
The 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 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.
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.
Glitch. The Doctor’s bow tie is gone to his horror. Then his jacket. He then begs the audience to stop. He then 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.
