One part of the Fifth Doctor's costume that was not his idea was the retention of the [[question mark]]-lapeled shirt from [[Tom Baker]]'s [[season 18]] look. He was specifically asked to keep them in, via a [[10 February]] [[1981]] memo from [[John Nathan-Turner]] to Lavers. "I do feel that the ''Doctor Who'' shirt with the '?' mark on the lapels is worth hanging on to," wrote Nathan-Turner.

A couple of years later, Lavers' duties on ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' gave him the opportunity to clothe a wide range of [[Doctor]]s and [[companion]]s, some of whom had never been seen on colour television before. Combined with his turns on his other two serials, ''[[The Power of Kroll]]'' and ''[[The King's Demons]]'', he provided outfits for more recurring characters in "classic" ''Doctor Who'' than any other costumer. He provided new or significantly modified outfits for the Fifth Doctor, {{Ainley|n=the Ainley Master}}, [[Susan Foreman|Susan]], [[Sarah Jane]], [[Liz Shaw|Liz]], [[Zoe Herriot|Zoe]], [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]], [[the Brigadier]], [[Romana I]] and [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]]. He recreated costumes for [[Mike Yates]] and the [[First Doctor|First]], [[Second Doctor|Second]] and [[Third Doctor]]s. Although he didn't actually design this last group's costumes, their ''Five Doctors'' costumes were at least subtly different from those they had worn in any other serial. In his stories, Lavers failed to provide costumes for only two main characters: [[Turlough]] and the [[Fourth Doctor]]. | A couple of years later, Lavers' duties on ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' gave him the opportunity to clothe a wide range of [[Doctor]]s and [[companion]]s, some of whom had never been seen on colour television before.
