The Doctor's pockets

Explain. Explain!

This article contains far too many bulleted lists. These sections should be converted into normal prose.

Talk about it here.

The Doctor's pockets (either trousers or jacket) often contained large amounts of unusual items. The Tenth Doctor once claimed that his pockets were bigger on the inside. (TV: The Runaway Bride) Another time their seemingly impossible capacity was explained by the Doctor having ripped their lining. (PROSE: Frontier Worlds) The Fourth Doctor, somewhat hypocritically, once told Harry Sullivan that it was a mistake to clutter one's pockets. (TV: The Sontaran Experiment) The Thirteenth Doctor hated having empty pockets. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth)
