* As in ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' and later in ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', the TARDIS wardrobe holds the outfits of several earlier incarnations.

Of the three, the Fifth Doctor seems fondest of the scarf — which he describes as "useful" but cumbersome as he tended to trip over it. The furry coat is described as being made of [[polyester]] rather than [[animal]] [[skin]] and as having come from the [[planet]] [[Thraxis]]. He expresses positive embarrassment at her discovery of the kind of clothes which he wore during his third incarnation. | * As in ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' and later in ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', the TARDIS wardrobe holds the outfits of several earlier incarnations.
