Bouffant
When Affinity took on the Third Doctor's appearance, the Twelfth Doctor noted that his third incarnation had "[a] rather impressive height, [with] an impressive bouffant of white hair." (PROSE: Silhouette [+]Loading...["Silhouette (novel)"])
The "UNIT era" Master described the Third Doctor as a "bouffanted buffoon". (COMIC: Doorway to Hell [+]Loading...["Doorway to Hell (comic story)"])
Travelling through the caves of the Death Zone to save Borusa from the Dark Tower, the War Doctor and Cinder found various cave paintings which the Doctor speculated were depictions of himself throughout his lives, some of which he failed to recognise. One of the paintings depicted a figure "with bouffant white hair and a cape being chased by a silver robot". (PROSE: Engines of War [+]Loading...["Engines of War (novel)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Katy Manning has accepted responsibility for the Third Doctor's increasingly-bouffant hairstyle. She claimed that she teased Pertwee about a tiny bald spot on the back of his head until he became self-conscious about it. When she suggested he just put rollers in to make his hair "bigger" — and thereby cover the bald spot — he seized on the idea with alacrity. (DCOM: Planet of the Daleks)
