Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The Eleventh Doctor treats a slightly unfashionable accessory as a matter of settled taste. Its certainty is part of the joke: he does not need anyone else’s agreement to enjoy what he wears. Fans use the short line to celebrate a fondness that needs no defence. This entry records a recurring television catchphrase, without claiming a first episode or using the actor as the fictional speaker.
