Doctor Who is a thrilling journey through time and space that perfectly blends adventure and mystery, making it an ideal choice for Halloween with its array of creatures, costumes, and spine-tingling escapades!

In the 2010 Doctor Who episode The Vampires of Venice, Alex Price wore this striking Elizabethan doublet adorned with pink and purple ribbons.

But this costume didn't originate with Doctor Who. Sandy Powell originally designed it for the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love, where Colin Firth wore it as Lord Wessex.

Can I have a fact about writer Christopher Marlowe please

Marlowe was the author of numerous plays and poems in the 1500s and stood as one of the most important translators and notorious men of his time for a life of rumor and drama to rival his own works.

He is known now only as the guy who died halfway through the brilliant yet controversial 1998 best picture film, Saving Private Ryan.

The Near Misses Tourney: Round II (2 of 2)

In 400+ submissions many worthy and noble (also some dastardly and evil) men (and orcs and elves and hobbits and the like) were admitted to our fair Tourney.

These are... not them.

No indeed, 20 men (and one... unit?) of those submitted failed to qualify for the tournament, for diverse reasons. They were therefore turned away and tossed on the Near Misses Pile. But the spirit of competition still burns within them, and they have erected a makeshift tilt on the outskirts of the Tourney Grounds.

In the first round, our 21 competitors faced off, in two polls of 11 and 10 respectively. The four highest voted contenders from each side have advanced and will also face off in two polls of 4 and 4.

The two highest voted from each poll will advance, while the rest will be sent home in final disgrace. We wish them the best of luck in their fruitless endeavour!!!

I will not be able to look at Colin Firth in any movie and not be mildly amused in a joking manner. Seeing his face is somewhat a silly thing to me.

I can't rewatch Kingsman and be seriously awed at the church scene because I'd giggle through it all. Seriously, he's adorable, it's like a cat wreaking a whole living room.

Fitzwilliam Darcy? Disgruntled cat, things inconvenience him but he'll do it for his end goal.

Lord Wessex? Such magnificent arrogance. He's parading around like a cat who just killed a bird and everyone should know it.

then there's my beloved Harry Bright. Nothing much to say about him, he's wonderful. No thoughts, head empty kinda cat, just pure vibes, very spontaneous

Geoffrey als Phillip Hanslow in the movie ≪Shakespeare in love 1998. ≫

I really liked his phrase:

— It's going to be fine.

— where did you get it from?

— I don't know, that's the whole secret.

November: Oscar Winners

Shakespeare in Love / Colin Firth as Lord Wessex

Year: 1998

Designer: Sandy Powell

I've featured some of the women's costumes from this film before, but the men deserve some attention as well. Lord Wessex wears this magnificent outfit when he comes to inform Viola that a match has been arranged between them. The embroidery on his doublet and cloak is simply jaw-dropping in its variety and intricacy. I've included some closeups to show both the details of the embroidery and the texture of the various materials.

It's a shame we can't see what he's got for footwear, and we also never see him wearing the hat. He also manages to make the ruff look like something a person might actually wear on a regular basis.
