Dark Eyes (audio anthology): Difference between revisions

* The Eighth Doctor's new look first debuted unofficially at the Armageddon Pop Culture Expo in October 2011<ref>http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2010/10/new-eighth-doctor-costume-revealed.html</ref>; the new [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] was designed by Weta, who had previously designed props for the new series. Nicholas Briggs confirmed that the new costume for the Eighth Doctor was officially approved by the BBC in [[DWM 454]]. Much of the input in designing the costume came from McGann himself. Although McGann is seen to wear it on the cover to ''Fugitives, ''McGann stated in [[DWM 454]] that the t-shirt and jeans were not intended to be a part of the costume and that, at the time, it was being developed further.

** As early as [[BFX]]: ''[[The Vengeance of Morbius (audio story)|The Vengeance of Morbius]]'', recorded in 2007, Paul McGann expressed a wish to move past the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s pompous look with the [[cravat]], towards a new look he had in mind with a [[leather jacket]], similar to the [[Ninth Doctor]]'s look in [[series 1 (Doctor Who)|series 1]].

* Molly O'Sullivan, the companion who is introduced in this anthology, was later name-checked, along with [[Charlotte Pollard]], [[C'rizz]], [[Tamsin Drew]] and [[Lucie Miller]], in the [[2013 (releases)|2013]] mini-episode ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]''.

* The cover of DWM 454 promoted ''Dark Eyes'' with the cover line of "Dark Doctor", a rarity for an audio drama.
