Question: Classic Companion Costume?
This week I pose you a question of costuming. Yes, costuming. Imagine, if you will, that you could obtain the costume of any of the Classic companions. I know that this could be a variety of things, as the companions got to change their clothing often, but bear with me. If you could have the costume of any of the Classic Doctor Who companions, whose costume would you choose? Would you dress like Tegan, in her air stewardess outfit? Do you prefer Turlough’s schoolboy look? Or would you rather skip all of this and dress up as K-9? What do you think? As usual I have included a few names to jog your memory. Feel free to wander off in blatant disregard of rule one.
We are travelers in time…
- Leela (It’s the warrior woman look.)
- Jamie McCrimmon (Have Kilt, Will Travel.)
- Sarah Jane Smith (The journalist who can hold her own.)
- Ace (I dig the jacket. Is that a Blue Peter badge?)
- Susan Foreman (Typical alien teen?)
- Perpugilliam Brown (Shorts and a top, mostly.)
- Ian Chesterton (Science teacher chic.)
- Adric (Don’t forget the Badge for Mathematical excellence.)
- Romana I (Long flowing white dress…)
- Liz Shaw (The well-dressed scientist.)
Not only do I have the name of the companion that I’ve chosen, but I also bring you a picture of the outfit. I want Romana 2’s pink version of The Doctor’s costume. So, if anyone out there knows where I might find that pink coat, please let me know. This is one of those times that makes me really wish that I could sew. (I even took a class. Sigh.)
Well, that’s my choice. Who did you choose?

I liked Turlogh and Ian’s costumes very adaptable to the various time frames if a bit mundane. The 2nd Ramana’s outfit is by far the best female companion outfit.
Good choice

Don’t worry, The Vig. I’ll ask about the Doctor’s costumes at some point. *tries to imagine you with red hair*

I always wanted to be ginger

I’ll have to go with Jamie’s as I’ve always wanted a kilt. Actually, not much for us guys to choose from. If Captain Jack could be considered a companion, I definitely want his outfit, that coat…
Sadly I must disagree with you, our dear web hostess. I feel you should appear in Sarah Jane’s dress from The Pyramids of Mars.
Now, for this girl I have my eye on…Zoe’s sparkly catsuit.

The Vig, I really can’t imagine you as ginger.
Erik, well, the question was specifically for Classic Companions, so no Captain Jack coat for you. (Which is really too bad, as you’d look good in that outfit. Don’t worry. I’ll do current companions at some point.) Get a kilt. You know that you want to. And…could I change the color of Sarah Jane’s dress?
