Subject: Re: Tom Baker Scarf History
Tom Baker's original scarf was 13 1/2 ft. long in Season 12. Then it was
trimmed down to 12 ft. in Season 13. In Season 14's Masque of Mandragora and
Hand of Fear, his original was trimmed down to 10 1/2 ft. and also a new,
shorter version of his scarf was made which was also about 10 ft. In Masque,
the new scarf was used for studio shooting and the old scarf was used on
outdoor locations. It is the opposite for Hand, the new scarf was used
outside and the old scarf was used inside. You can tell the difference by
looking at the bottom ends of his scarves in indoor and outdoor shots. In
Deadly Assassin through Invisible Enemy and Sunmakers, he wore the new scarf
only. A new 17 ft. scarf with alot of dark green was worn in Image of the
Fendahl, Underworld, and Invasion of Time. This is the shortest lived version
of any of Tom Baker's scarves. The last multicolored scarf for Seasons 16 and
17 was actually the original scarf, with two more alterations, and the second
short scarf joined together to make the 20 ft. scarf. In Shada, the portion
that was part of the original scarf was taken out and put at the end of of
the original scarf portion and the the rest was put back together. And
finally, the burgundy, plum, and red scarf from Season 18. It was originally
about 20 ft. long but got stetched out to 24 ft by the time of Logopolis to
where Tom looped it around twice around. So there you have it, an unoffical
historical look at all the different versions of Tom Baker's scarves.
I DO HAVE PROPER KNITTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ORIGINAL SCARF (as it
appeared in Season 13) AND THE SEASON 18 SCARF. If you
would like them, please email me at DoctorWho8@aol.com and I will send
them to you as soon as I can.
