Paul McGann reveals a new look for promotional purposesSince he's very active with Big Finish it would presumably be something to do with them, but of course, let the rampant speculation about its significance begin! The Weta Workshop designed Sonic Screwdriver is rather lovely, very steampunk. And the general look is more action-hero, more practical, more... Ninth Doctor... If nothing else, it would be a good choice for how the Eighth Doctor looks if you meet him during the Time War.

Certainly an interesting development, but I wonder why they've done this? There's no mention of Big Finish involvement that I've seen, just "for future promotional purposes". Seems odd. Obviously there's already speculation elsewhere about this heralding an appearance by the 8th Doctor in the new series. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

There's been talk at Big Finish for years on changing the 8th Doctor's look. though I'd also heard that the current 8th Doctor series will be the last. Interesting. |

It seems a bit late in the day to buy a costume and prop just for a few CD album covers....
BF should have done it years ago, but seem keen to keep the dandy look as an occasional plot element in their 8th Doctor stories.

Although the current 8th Doctor series will be the final one as a standalone series, the 8th Doctor's adventures will continue as part of Big Finish's monthly range. I really don't think that BF are behind this new costume. But I wouldn't be surprised if they'll want to use it for their covers - I think it'll depend on how "official" the costume turns out to be. |

Meetings at the BBC have begun regarding the 50th anniversary in 2013, although if that's what this is for it's a bit early...

We could get 8th making an appearance in the next series or the one after that? Would be interesting. I think the Time Lords are going to be coming back as part of Matt Smith's run (rampant guesswork) and if they do, it would be fascinating to see Matt's Eleven interacting with McGann's war-immersed Eight. Really fascinating. |

love that sonic!
It's got a steampunk look without the overly fiddly feel of most steampunk themed stuff.

I haven't heard much about this.
Did it turn out to be the 8th new 'official' outfit?
It does blend his previous look into more of the 9th's.
That ALSO goes for the sonic screwdriver. What a lovely thing. I want to make one myself.

This is going back a bit! But apparently... yes. Coming in November, the new-look Eighth Doctor on the cover of a new Big Finish audio series. |
