Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Heaven Sent: Difference between revisions

* Who put the very first costume in the fireplace room? or the first 12th doctor just put off the wet one, left it and went on naked? otherwise there'd be no extra costume for the next 12 and why didn't it disappear when the room reset? even if it's not supposed to be gone because it's like a part of something alien-not-castle-stuff, still the question stands - who put the first costume in the room?

::The most likely answer is the one you give in your question - The Doctor takes off his clothes (possibly leaving on undergarments, as we don't see those there) to dry by the fire. He then goes wandering about, eventually dies and brings in a "new" Doctor. When he gets wet, he finds the previous set of clothes, and swaps them out. The cycle then continues.

::: What OP means is where would the clothes have come from the first time the Doctor came. This is a good question -- the Doctor finding his clothes there suggest that those are the clothes left by the last Doctor. Thus perpetually the Doctor is putting his clothes there and picking up the wardrobe of his predecessor. But if there were no clothes the first time, the Doctor would and could not have left his clothing there. Various things could explain this tho. There could have been extra clothing in that room and the loop would still work, as this room clearly is one of the ones exempt from the reset. So a clown outfit could have been there and the room wouldn't put the clown outfit back because it doesn't reset. Or maybe there's clothes hidden elsewhere in the room that the Doctor doesn't find in all cases past the first one because he doesn't need to. Or possibly the first time he stripped his clothes down without another wardrobe and spent the rest of the episode after that point naked. I prefer the later possibility, and will now accept it as head canon.

::: And that's basically what the above explanation says - the first version leaves his clothes there, goes wandering about with out them (possibly naked, possibly still in undergarments), and the next version of the Doctor finds them.
