3->''"Um, this one's from someone called Kutabare Oonishi. "It looks like Gin-san is always wearing the same kimono. Does he only have one set of clothes?" Okay, here's your answer. The truth is, he's got four of the same kind of kimono. When one's in the laundry, he wears another. Huh? You want to know why he has four of the same kind?

214->''"[[Creator/JohnNathanTurner JN-T]] had viewed the previous lead actor, Creator/TomBaker, as being out of control, and consciously went to the opposite extreme with [[Creator/PeterDavison Davison]] and his co-stars. This can clearly be seen in the way the main characters are dressed; the Doctor, in his clean, pressed beige outfit, stands out like a sore thumb in the company of Stien, Colonel Archer and Professor Laird, in their [[UsedFuture lived-in, functional clothing]]. The same can be said of his companions; Turlough, the 'sly schoolboy', has been wearing [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack the same school uniform]] since '[[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS20E3MawdrynUndead}} Mawdryn Undead]]', and Tegan, although she had been allowed more variety in her style of dress, has always been placed in outfits intended both to highlight her character as a brash, somewhat obnoxious Australian and to, as it were, [[MsFanservice appeal to the dads]]... Unlike the other women in the serial-- and a bit oddly for someone who spends her time either fighting or fleeing monsters-- Tegan is dressed in a leather skirt, a sleeveless top, high heels and [[UncannyValleyMakeup far too much makeup even for 1983]]. The way in which all three actors are costumed thus highlights JN-T's efforts to control, not only the characters, but also the actors themselves."''
