[[Pat Godfrey]] was asked to design a costume that was "totally tasteless", in line with how Nathan-Turner imagined this Doctor. [[Eric Saward]] offered the idea, in his interview, that Nathan-Turner wanted to see his own style of dress reflected in this Doctor - a nod to his penchant for Hawaiian shirts. Godfrey struggled to meet the brief, with many of her designs being rejected by Nathan-Turner. Saward puts this down to her years of experience leading her to instinctively make the costume less tasteless, with more complementary colours. Eventually, according to Baker, Godfrey would create a design so tasteless that she did not expect Nathan-Turner to accept it but, to her surprise, he did. | [[Pat Godfrey]] was asked to design a costume that was "totally tasteless", in line with how Nathan-Turner imagined this Doctor.
