There's a specific reason why Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor doesn't wear the traditional Time Lord robes in Doctor Who's "The Power of the Doctor."

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of the most exciting details in Jodie Whittaker’s final episode of Doctor Who was the return of Paul McGann as the eighth incarnation of the beloved Time Lord, but interestingly, the character wasn’t wearing his signature robes. This may seem like a small detail, but there’s actually a much darker explanation for the Eighth Doctor’s decision to wear something different.

The Doctor Who episode "The Power of the Doctor" saw multiple incarnations of The Doctor return to their famous role, but Paul McGann was the most exciting because fans have been campaigning for his return ever since the show’s soft reboot in 2005. Before 2022, McGann had only ever appeared in one Doctor Who project, the feature-length TV movie from 1996.

The Eighth Doctor Doesn't Wear Gallifreyan Robes Because Of The Time War It wasn’t officially mentioned in Doctor Who's "The Power of the Doctor" episode but the reason Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor doesn’t wear traditional Gallifreyan robes can be explained by one factor: he’s The Doctor present at the beginning of the Time War, and he has denounced his species for the crimes they committed.

It makes complete sense that McGann’s Doctor wouldn’t want to wear Time Lord robes in his brief appearance because he’s the one who saw first-hand just how far the Time Lords would go to protect their species. This detail also makes another Doctor Who story even more important. In "The Night of the Doctor," the Eighth Doctor begs for the Sisterhood of Karn to transform him into a "warrior" who could end the Time War.

"The Power Of The Doctor" Makes Paul McGann's Doctor One Of The Darkest Paul McGann didn’t play The Doctor for the longest, but he’s undeniably one of the most interesting incarnations of the Time Lord. He’s the one who finally severed The Doctor’s connections with his people, transforming him into the rogue adventurer that he’s presented as in the rebooted show.
