The Doctor's pockets

The Doctor's pockets (either trousers or jacket) often contained large amounts of unusual items. He once claimed that his pockets were bigger on the inside. (TV: The Runaway Bride) Another time their seemingly impossible capacity was explained by his ripping 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)
