Tenth Doctor

The Tenth Doctor was an incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. After his previous incarnation succumbed to the bodily damage inflicted on him by the energies of the time vortex, he returned with Rose Tyler to London while he attempted to recover from the effects of regeneration. After foiling the Sycorax invasion, he continued his travels with Rose until the Battle of Canary Wharf when they were forcibly separated.

*Mark Hooper of Esquire said the Doctor's outfit "looks really good. Someone said to me it looks a bit Jarvis Cocker, kind of geeky but cool. It is a much younger look, like he's in an indie band. The pinstripe suit is quite tight-fitting, quite timely. It's a bit of an absent-minded professor look, but trendy with it. It's slightly eccentric."Doctor Who, fashion icon - Jackie Storer & Megan Lane - 27 July 2005 - BBC News - Retrieved 18 November 2022
