Nanook of the North

Ben Jackson once called Polly Wright "Nanook of the North" to describe the thick outerwear she had found from the TARDIS wardrobe to protect her from Antarctic weather. (AUDIO: The Bonfires of the Vanities, TV: The Tenth Planet)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Though unspecified in the script, Nanook of the North was a 1922 award-winning documentary about Arctic Inuits that claimed to be a depiction of a real person and his family, though the entire film was in fact a staged hoax. The name became synonymous with being prepared for, or thriving in, wintry conditions.
