Doctor Who Scarf - Official BBC Doctor Who Scarf - Fourth Doctor Scarf Full Size by Lovarzi

Product Information

The overarching theme of decay reaches its conclusion in Baker's final story Logopolis (1981), which Bidmead personally wrote. That's why we've made this shorter version: perfect to show off your fan credentials on a daily basis and remind you to keep with you a teaspoon and an open mind!

The Fourth Doctor's Scarf is so iconic that, over 30 years and seven Doctors later, it's still as synonymous with the BBC's flagship programme as the TARDIS and the Daleks! Sarah Jane Smith also used the scarf as a rope to hold onto the Doctor when he tumbled off the edge of Scratchman's castle.

She was not strong enough to pull him up, but the Cyber-Leader, who was given back his emotions by Scratchman, was. Rumor has it she made it herself but whether they mean Osgood the character or Ingrid Oliver the actress I don’t know. This is in fact a ploy to reveal and defeat a Vardan invasion plan, which led to the unexpected consequence of leaving Gallifrey open to attack by the Sontarans ( The Invasion of Time). The Doctor decides to travel to Earth to scan a real Police Box as part of a plan to repair the "Chameleon Circuit", the shape-changing mechanism in the TARDIS.

After looking online for patterns for both scarves, I then went on to the equally difficult challenge of needles. Here wee see Gallifrey, the Daleks, the Dalek fleet, John Hurt is looking for the Doctor and Ten remarks that he came to the right place (eheh, his face is epic!

My Gryffindor House Scarf is coming along a bit slower – given that if I can only finish one within 2 weeks, I choose to finish the other one… But I’m now finishing my first set of 2 gold stripes, and then it’s only 13 more repetitions to go.

After a few initial setbacks, such as as having to restart because I didn’t like the product of the needle size I was using, or having to substitute 2 colours of yarn, I’m on my way! The main colour of this exclusive design is a rich blue, edged with a stylish rainbow pattern based on the t-shirt the Thirteenth Doctor proudly showed off at the end of her first full episode, The Woman Who Fell To Earth (2018).

In 1979 and 1980, Tom Baker played the Fourth Doctor (alongside Lalla Ward's Romana) in a series of four television commercials for Prime Computer. and a lot of soared fingers later, the Fourth Doctor Scarf is done and in time for the big Celebration. By the way, that awesome picture of Tom Barker falling with his amazing scarf is from the new The Day of the Doctor trailer, that BBC released yesterday!

Some of our knitters are some of the staff, but we have people from further afield and we are encouraging everyone to knit a piece of the scarf. In Victorian London, the pair encounters the magician Li Hsien Chang and his master, the self-styled Weng-Chiang ( The Talons of Weng-Chiang). When the Doctor and his Nest Cottage companions were absorbed by a Skishtari egg and stuck in a simulation based on the tale of Aladdin, the scarf became alive and took on the role of the genie of the tale. I really love these two colours together and I’m considering doing the whole set, aka, the scarf, mittens and hat. To me, the ‘dumb’ ones would be the peo­ple (espe­cial­ly oth­er Who fans)that crit­i­cize WHO fans for ANY rea­son at all.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. The colors presented do not to significantly vary from the Shada scarf in its present state and do not make the subtle distinctions between the original and stunt portions (possibly something to do later). Reportedly the BBC published pattern named Sirdar Chenille (acrylic/wool blend) yarn and the colors 523 Rust, 525 Wine and 526 Plum. He also had a cameo on Futurama emerging from the stomach of a space whale, and another episode, where he is briefly seen running into the TARDIS.
