Hi - Louise Page here Costume Designet on Doctor Who 2005-2009 . I was sent an e mail question about Rose Tyler’s wardrobe today from 2005 & remembered a Rose group in the USA who contacted me years ago about Rose’s wardrobe . I was searching the net look for the group & came across your posts. I laughed at some of your comments but would love an opportunity to explain to you why Rose had s turquoise “punky fish “ top on late in series 2 . If you send me your e mail I will reply privately .
Louise. Louise Page. You have no idea the amount of stress, joy, (screaming), embarrassment, joy, and neurotic hand-wringing this ask has brought me.
HI LOUISE???????
I’m overcome with embarrassment that you’ve found my silly costume posts but would love to talk more about Punky Fish. (I’m also fascinated in how you crafted Rose’s style through series 2 and would love to ask a few questions about that too!)
You can contact me at
[email protected], or if you'd like you can send me another anonymous ask with your email address and I'll write to you directly. (I won't publish your email address; that will remain totally private.)
Absolutely mortified you found these posts, and absolutely thrilled you'd like to chat. Thank you so much for all your amazing work!

'... Doctor Who remains one of the biggest TV shows in the world. First broadcast in 1963, the hit BBC series has always centred around The Doctor, a Time Lord and eccentric scientist, who travels through time and space in the Tardis (a hi-tech HQ disguised as a 1960s British police box), alongside a human companion, fighting enemies who would seek to destroy them and take over the world...it was Russell T Davies who was responsible for bringing the series back in 2005, and who has been the most influential writer and showrunner ever since.
Doctor Who has also always captured the zeitgeist – and the Time Lord's physical appearance has been central to that. Ray Holman, who created costumes for the Doctors played by Jodie Whittaker and Matt Smith, says the show is "not afraid to tap into fashion or gender – to be really current or totally surprising"...
Three special episodes mark the 60th anniversary, starring David Tennant, the 10th Doctor, returning as the 14th, in his much-loved great coat, and a new tartan-check waistcoat shrink-wrapped to his chest...
4. David Tennant (2005-2010, and also set to appear in 60th anniversary specials)
"Geek chic" is how Scottish actor David Tennant described his Doctor's look – the second in the "Revived" series (from 2005). With his manic energy and wild-eyed stare, Tennant channelled indie-rock star style of the era – think Franz Ferdinand-meets-Kaiser Chiefs, topped off with Jarvis Cocker specs. A defining accessory is his footwear: a pair of scuffed Converse trainers, easily spotted even with the logo removed, which boosted the footwear's sales no end. Louise Page, costume designer for Tennant's Doctor, tells BBC Culture: "The Converse trainers were David's idea; he'd seen chef Jamie Oliver wearing a pair with a suit." His brown-and-blue pinstripe suit was made from Gap trousers, in a fabric David loved: thin cotton, in which it was easy to move. Page was worried the slimline striped suit could make him look like a "long pencil", but she recalls that Russell T Davies responded: "Marvellous!". Tennant requested a long coat, to make him appear more "Doctorish" – probably over-egging it, as this was a role he was virtually born to play: "I grew up loving Doctor Who and it has been a lifelong dream to get my very own Tardis," he told Rolling Stone. There's another link: his actress producer wife, Georgia, is daughter of Peter Davison, the fifth incarnation (1981-1984). No surprise, then, that Tennant has been one of the most popular Doctors, if not the longest serving (that gong goes to Tom Baker)...'
