First look at Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who Peter Capaldi suited and booted for his role as Doctor Who. Fans can look forward to a new, harder-edged Doctor Who after Peter Capaldi revealed the 12th Time Lord's costume, which includes items synonymous with the skinhead subculture. Capaldi, best known for playing foul-mouthed Malcolm Tucker in the political satire The Thick Of It, will roam the universe outfitted in a Crombie jacket and patent-leather Doc Martens shoes. The jacket and shoes were a key part of the fearsome image of the skinhead gangs that first came to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s. Capaldi's hard-man look is in stark contrast to the costumes of many of his predecessors, including Matt Smith's dickie-bowed Time Lord and David Tennant's popular rumple-suited version. When Capaldi's bovver-boy costume was revealed, the site of tailors Crombie briefly crashed under the weight of fans eager to get the look themselves - or just wanting to know more about the jacket. "He's woven the future from the cloth of the past," said Capaldi. Simple, stark and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent rebel Time Lord. Meanwhile, Doctor Who's executive producer Steven Moffat issued a warning to any other life forms thinking of tangling with the doctor. "New Doctor, new era, and of course new clothes," said Moffat. Monsters of the universe, the vacation is over - Capaldi is suited and booted and coming to get you. Capaldi and co-star Jenna Coleman began filming the latest series earlier this month in Cardiff. In Britain, more than 10 million fans tuned in on Christmas Day to see Smith hand over the sonic screwdriver to the new Doctor.
