In 2005 in the run up to David's first appearance as The Doctor many, many news articles appeared about him and every aspect of the show! Here are some great excerpts from a BBC News article about his costume:
"just-got-out-of-bed, dragged-through-a-hedge-backwards, only-thing-I-could-find look"
"The look is Franz Ferdinand cum Kaiser Chiefs"
Makr Hooper from Esquire Magazine said - "[The outfit] looks really good. Someone said to me it looks a bit Jarvis Cocker, kind of geeky but cool. It is a much younger look, like he's in an indie band. The pinstripe suit is quite tight-fitting, quite timely. It's a bit of an absent-minded professor look, but trendy with it. It's slightly eccentric."
