Calling all #DoctorWho fans! Which Doctor should we dress Terry up as for Hallowe’en?

Oh, I could do something so cool with that! Thank you!

For some reason, when @kariebookish.bsky.social suggested Jacques Cousteau - my mind went to diving bell helmets. But, he’s a tad more contemporary than that. It’s wall to wall chambray shirts and beanies for our Jacques.

Who would *you* like to see Terry cosplay as next?
