In a recent interview, Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu, stars of Doctor Who's latest season, discussed their excitement over the new tradition of on-set outfit reveals for each episode. Sethu expressed their joy at seeing each other's costumes for the first time, highlighting their enthusiastic camaraderie. The article notes that changing costumes conveys shifts in storytelling, marking the end of chaotic transitions and the beginning of a new narrative rhythm. Gatwa's Doctor sports fashionable looks, which represent a departure from the iconic single outfits traditionally associated with the character.
"I love the outfits," Sethu said. "Honestly, I love the outfit reveals. [...] The first time we come on set looking at each other in our outfits, I feel like we don't know how to behave."
A clear change in costume has also become a way in which Who showrunners let the audience know that the hectic transitional adventure is over, and it's time to find the show's new rhythm.
"You look amazing! Look at that!" Sethu impersonated their on-set reactions. "[We were] screaming at each other, every single episode. I'd get excited for the first day of shooting with Ncuti for every episode, because I just can't wait to see his outfit."
On-set outfit reveals for every episode are a new thing for Doctor Who, a show in which the titular character usually has one iconic look to go along with whatever new actor is in the role.
