Begonia Pope

Begonia Pope knitted the scarf used by Tom Baker as part of the Fourth Doctor's original costume. Inspired by a poster painted by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, costume designer James Acheson gave Pope several balls of wool but no instructions about the length of the scarf to be produced. Pope used all of the wool to knit a scarf 20 feet long. The production team loved the result and, after shortening the scarf slightly, it was used as part of the costume.Doctor Who Magazine 525, page 57
