Countdown to New Who: Advent 2016: Day 17

   Besides the TARDIS and the Doctor's Sonic Screw Driver, the most iconic item in all things Who has got to be the scarf worn by the Forth Doctor, Tom Baker. The thing was made of almost a dozen colors, was made of fluffy wool and a good 12 feet long!

holiday gifts...

    Rumor has it that producers of Doctor Who sent a garbage bag full of wool samples for this lady to make Tom Baker's Doctor a scarf for his costume. However, she mistakenly thought the producers wanted her to use the whole bag which she did. Thankfully, Baker loved it and history was made. 
    For my Advent gift to you today, here's a link to the BBC's official directions on how to make your our Fourth Doctor's scarf from the 80s. (Click here to view the list from a recent Mental Floss Article)
