Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) is the foul-mouthed and hilarious protagonist of the British series The Thick of It and the 2009 film In the Loop. His clothing style is the basic business look: suit and tie, button up dress shirt, black shoes, black belt. The rest of the character is about getting overly creative with your insults.

The titular character on the BBC hit TV series Doctor Who is the last of the Time Lords, a race capable of time travel and regeneration. The Doctor has regenerated its body 13 times, and for the first time it its history it regenerates as a woman (Jodie Whittaker) for its 13th life. She travels the space-time continuum with her companions Graham, Yasmin and Ryan. This guide covers the 13th Doctor’s first iconic – and eccentric – look of suspenders, cropped pants, rainbow shirt and coat.

What can you say about the Doctor that hasn’t already been said over his show’s fifty-year history? He’s nine hundred years old, he’s an alien and he travels through time and space in a 1963 blue police call box. Also, sometimes he looks like Christopher Eccleston and that’s pretty fantastic.

Companion to The 10th Doctor, med student Martha Jones didn’t exactly expect her life to be interrupted by an alien in a blue box. Nor did she realize following him on a whim would lead her on a universe-spanning adventure and give her the skills to save the entire world.

Peter Capaldi is the 12th incarnation of Doctor Who, accompanied by companion Bill. In the 10th series of Doctor Who, his costume has changed from a navy coat with red lining to a black coat with blue lining.

The wife of the Doctor and daughter of Amy Pond and Rory Williams, River Song (Alex Kingston) has an illustrious parentage on the BBC series Doctor Who. She first appears as the wife of the 11th Doctor, but because of her warped time line and supernatural abilities due to TARDIS DNA within her she makes multiple appearances across seasons. Professionally she is a Professor of Archaeology, but most of the time she is either seeking out the Doctor or being forced to harm him by his enemies. To capture her image, go for a long tunic with black leggings, wild hair and an infectiously cheerful personality.
