Lovarzi official Doctor Who 50th Anniversary range
Lovarzi official Doctor Who 50th Anniversary range
After the success of their Fourth Doctor Scarf, Lovarzi, the UK’s leading online scarf retailer, is releasing five more unique Doctor Who products in partnership with BBC Worldwide to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary.
The range is essential for fans of the Seventh Doctor – Sylvester McCoy – but there’s something new for everyone, including a specially-designed Dalek Scarf.
The Seventh Doctor’s Jumper and the incredibly-detailed Silk Scarf are ideal for cosplayers, and the 100% cotton Hanky finishes off the look perfectly.
The Seventh Doctor’s iconic appearance was designed by Ken Trew in April 1987, ready for McCoy’s debut in Time and the Rani. He battled Daleks and Cybermen, braved Paradise Towers, played chess with Fenric, and performed at the Psychic Circus for the Gods of Ragnarok until the costume made its last appearance in 1989’s Survival.
While the majority of Doctors stay in one outfit during their time onscreen, Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor swapped his brightly-coloured Scarf in his final set of stories. Lovarzi’s Season 18 Fourth Doctor Scarf in Burgundy is made from Acrylic Chenille. It was first seen in The Leisure Hive (1980) and was designed by June Hudson under instructions from producer, John Nathan-Turner. The scarf was utilised extensively until the Fourth Doctor’s swansong serial, Logopolis.
The scarf was even used in publicity shots for the 25th anniversary special, The Five Doctors (with the Fourth Doctor represented by a waxwork destined for Madame Tussauds!) before retiring to Blackpool’s Doctor Who exhibit, which operated from 1974 to1985, and 2004 to 2009.
Tom Baker actually wore scarves of various lengths, depending on what each scene entailed – one even measuring three times his own height – but Lovarzi’s is 13ft/ 3.96m in length, including tassels, and 10” (28cm) wide.
Finally, the reversible Dalek scarf (no image available at present) is an entirely unique design, initially available in two inter-woven colour combinations: Blue and Light Grey; Grey and Charcoal. The scarf is made in Italy from finest quality wool and modal, resulting in a very fine finish.
Maninder Singh Sahota, Director of Lovarzi, says: “After the success of the Doctor Who Scarf last year, it is great to offer Doctor Who fans some other classic products. We are dedicated to providing fans with fine quality products which I’m certain they’ll love.”
Alex Carter-Jones, Business Development Manager from Forbidden Planet says: “Following on from the hugely successful Fourth Doctor Replica Scarf this range of new scarves and knitwear for the Seventh Doctor looks set to be a real fan favourite. Alongside this the addition of the burgundy Fourth Doctor scarf to the range makes for a great way to continue upon the line from last year.”
Last year’s Fourth Doctor Scarf remains a huge hit, available online and in Forbidden Planet stores nationwide, as well as at the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff and various independent retailers across UK.
The Seventh Doctor Jumper, Silk Scarf and Hanky, Season 18 Fourth Doctor Scarf in Burgundy and exclusive Dalek Scarf will all be available for pre-order from Lovarzi.co.uk, Forbidden Planet, BBCShop.com and the Doctor Who Experience from September 2013.

August 29th, 2013 - 4:03pmI have the old Dapol 7th Dr jumper but would definately get this as mine is getting on for about 25 years old now. This is more screen accurate though…

August 28th, 2013 - 10:43pmtheir season 18 tom baker scarf is HALF the size it originally was on screen. For the majority of cosplayer’s out there, this will annoy them as it isn’t completely screen accurate *TUT*

Imaginethatnodoor
August 28th, 2013 - 9:06pmReally like the scarf 🙂
ROB STATE
August 28th, 2013 - 1:25pmI love the scarf, I saw it in Forbidden Planet, a couple of weeks ago, but think £50 RRP is just too much. the most i would pay would be £25-£30
The Monitor
September 6th, 2013 - 4:47pmAlways tricky. £30 is what you pay for a decent domestic replica.
Elope in the States do other Tom Baker scarves for what you are suggesting, but by the time you import them, they are not cheap.

August 28th, 2013 - 11:13amIV BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT SCARF FOR YEARS!
Shaun
August 28th, 2013 - 10:42am“The scarf was used in publicity shots for the 25th Anniversary special…” – wow! is this a missing story which no-one knows about???? Or did I miss it in the Silver Nemesis photoshoots? (I know – it’s a slip-of-the keyboard mistake…)
Desamo
August 28th, 2013 - 10:20amI really want season 18 scarf.
Liason Ice
August 28th, 2013 - 6:01amI want to see the shirt with the question mark collar. That would be awesome
Kevin Dessecker
August 27th, 2013 - 11:25pmHere`s to hopefully getting some 5th and 6th Doctor Clothes 😀 I`m so excited. I`ll be buying all 3.
Jack Mosley
August 27th, 2013 - 10:37pmI don’t understand how the last scarf is in anyway “Dalek” ._.
Shaun
August 28th, 2013 - 10:43amIt does say ‘no image available at present’ for the dalek scarf.
booboo
August 28th, 2013 - 10:48ami just added that
NCC1701D
August 27th, 2013 - 10:00pmThe scarf looks cool but I’m sure that its no where near as long as it should be.
JaffaCakes
August 27th, 2013 - 7:24pmSo… massively tempted by the scarf, but slightly perturbed by the price, should it be the same as the last one. I always loved Tom Baker’s burgundy costume – it always looks so cosy and warm, so this scarf would be lovely for winter. Just a bit put off by the price, is all – might just have to save up! Also, just as an aside, when do you think these will be out? My guess is near the 23rd, but then again I could be wrong – if you’re not too busy booboo, could you give us an estimate?
Cheers everyone!
booboo
August 27th, 2013 - 7:43pmi would say a month, dont think it will be long
JaffaCakes

August 27th, 2013 - 6:45pmCosPlay made easy…if not a bit less fun and a tad more expensive.
DalekTheSupreme
August 27th, 2013 - 6:39pmSince McCoy is my second favorite Doctor, the question mark jumper highly appeals to me.
Sam Bentley
August 27th, 2013 - 6:25pmWould love the jumper – would wear it all the time
RyanAnthonySkaro
August 27th, 2013 - 6:22pmbrilliant, all of this cos of the fact its the 50th anniversary all of these coming out toys,costumes,collectables and magazine its like heaven to me and a dream come true. my nana knitted me both of the scarves for some reason the shada turned out a lot smaller but very screen accurate as the knitten pattern was the one of the show. but i’ll definately get the 7th drs stuff (the jumper)
Alex
August 27th, 2013 - 6:11pmnew tom baker scarf, YES been wanting for them to release that for a while
Daff
August 27th, 2013 - 5:50pmif its no to pricey I will consider the jumper, I can imagine the scarf will probably be around £50 as its predecessor..
