The fresh hell that is my brain.
*grabs cereal out of kitchen* Hmm. Maybe a scene where the Doctor and Rose chat over cereal. Wonder what the English call cereal. Probably something cute like twigs in a dairy...in a hole. Wonder if the Doctor ever pads around in jammies and bare feet. *icks at the thought of a 24/7 suit* *icks at the thought of only one suit* *has sudden urge to wash own clothes* Okay, cereal is boring. Space cereal would be better. *contemplates turning Rose into a coffee addict* *freaks at the thought of the Doctor on espresso* Oh! Chat could be a bitch session about the sponge people of an underwater world. Wait, do I want an underwater world? Hmmm. On second thought, forget the cereal.
ETA: Yes, this is why Elis is going completely mad.
ETA2: OMG, I'm itchy now.
ETA3: Seriously, I would so watch if there was a S3 ep that addressed the laundry issue. Heh. Have the feeling that the vast majority fandom would watch if it was 40 minutes of the Doctor sitting there in his boxers, reading a magazine in front of some sort of sonic washing machine.
ETA4: Still itchy.

The Doctor? On caffeine? Run for your lives! He'd turn into Tigger. Or some hellish combination of Tigger and Speedy Gonzales.
Of course, there's always the possibility that it would affect his body chemistry in a completely different way. Maybe it makes him sleepy, instead.
Huh. You know, I've read 50 bazillion stories with the Doctor as a tea (properly English tea, mind) addict, but I don't know if that's actually canon or fanon that people have taken and run with.
And please, please let him change clothes every once in a great while. Yikes.

Love that one. :D

Picture him in AoG with the Ghostbusters and Alonzee things and multiply that by 10. OMG. Rose would be trying to take him down with a taser.

Good point. Get that man a latte!

I think the tea thing did come from older incarnations. Not sure if it's an addict level or not.

Yeah, and not just shirts or jumpers either. Kinda bugged me with Nine as well, but it was less noticeable there. Tradition, I guess, when it comes to keeping the same outfit day after day, but occasionally I want to just power hose him. Think I'll pretend in my mind that he has like 20 copies of the same suit stashed away somewhere. Yes.

Or maybe just sneaking up behind him to knock him over the head with something. See, this is when you need more than one Companion, just in case you have to overwhelm the Doctor for some reason. Or take turns so they don't exhaust themselves trying to keep up.

Yes. *shudder* What really bothers me if I think about it too hard is Rose bringing her laundry back to her mum in... whatever the episode is before Doomsday. Is that Army of Ghosts? Anyway, 1) do they not have a laundry room on the TARDIS; 1a) If not, no wonder the Doctor never changes clothes; 1b) I'm amazed his companions ever get within 20 feet of him. 2) How college student was that of Rose, anyway?

He picks out something he likes in the Wardrobe Room and then the TARDIS duplicates it a bunch? I hope?
no subject
VERY good point. Tag-team companioning! The Doctor only needs like an hour of sleep, if that, or something, right? While Rose is off getting beauty sleep, Jack and the Doctor could be battling dinosaurs. Then switch off for evil robots for Jack's beauty sleep.

I absolutely refuse to believe that for the fact that I start to itch.
1a) If not, no wonder the Doctor never changes clothes;
EW. *SHUDDERS LIKE MAD*
1b) I'm amazed his companions ever get within 20 feet of him.
Well, if the companions can't wash clothes either, there's probably just this overall funk surrounding everyone. ICK.
2) How college student was that of Rose, anyway?
Totally! :D I like to believe that even though they do have laundry on the TARDIS, Rose is the typical college-age person who quickly hands off laundry.

*hopes a BUNCH*

"It's your turn to keep him out of trouble."
"No way! I just got back, and I'm slimed! It's totally your turn!"
"You guys got into trouble way too soon; I haven't had nearly enough sleep." Etc.

Something like, yeah.

I KNOOOOW. "Doctor? Is that mustard on your jacket? From where you spilled it on yourself last week? Ewwww."

And the time Rose nailed him with the blue bucket of mystery liquid.
Laundry. Yes. Absodamnlutely. But perhaps a bit...sonic? :D
no subject
I'd forgotten about that! Yes, I think he'd have bitched harder if he hadn't had a way to easily replace/clean his precious suit.
And laundry can always be more sonic.
no subject
Of course, maybe when he yelled after Rose "hold on!" and then took off in another direction, he was pulling out a wad of wet-wipes, muttering and generally having a mini-freakout over the suit.

This is fairly well-established fanon, if that's any comfort. Probably because lots of fans over the years have been similarly bothered. *g*
The TARDIS wardrobe is ginormous. The thought of enough copies of the same clothes to not be gross pleases me immensely.
Pity me during my pet era, early Five, when not only the Doctor but ALL THREE COMPANIONS wore the same clothes for an entire season. And more, in some cases. Adric changed temporarily into a provided costume for a fancy dress party, but otherwise? The boy DIED in the same clothes the (previous!) Doctor found him in. Then again, well, teenage boy, so unfortunately we can't really expect him to change without prompting from an authority figure. Which is the Doctor. So that's not going to happen.
Tegan changed relatively frequently after she left and came back, and I choose to think of her insistence on staying in her flight attendant's uniform for her entire first season as part of her determination that the Doctor WAS going to get her back home in time for her first day of work, dammit!!! (Needless to say, he didn't.)
Of course, that theory would hold up better if they hadn't done the same thing with the other two. *sigh* Apparently Janet Fielding (Tegan) jokingly blamed Lalla Ward (Romana 2) for it at a con once, saying that she had worn out the costume department with all her fun stuff!
Nyssa... *more sighing* Girl, you're an aristo. You should be changing at least three times a day! I choose to believe that Traken textiles are technologically advanced, and she neatly hangs them up every night and they clean themselves while she sleeps. Or the top, anyway -- the pants came from the TARDIS wardrobe. So of course there are lots more. :-)

HA! Poor Tegan. I still want to throw her in the shower though.

Yes, the TARDIS is magic. And is very aware of the need for clean clothes. YES, DAMMIT.
*itches more*

Er, I did mention "teenage boy," right? And an alien math geek/wannabe juvenile delinquent, at that.
I'd love to picture Tegan and Nyssa hounding him to change, and him not doing it just to be contrary. Cuz he would. Except, well, no room to talk. *sigh*

*nods sagely* It has magic laundry nanogenes. It automatically cleans whatever you take off. So you put on your jammies, go to bed, and have clean clothes in the morning. Rose just doesn't trust it, which is why she brought that laundry home to Mum.
*blink* Y'know, I was mostly just being silly with this, but I actually quite like it...

Oooooh. Laundry nanogenes! I like! And Rose would be totally suspicious, always sniffing her clothes and looking suspiciously at her knickers. :D

Well, you know it's probably not a front-load Whirlpool he's got in there. So nanogenes yay!
no subject
Hey, that is a nifty idea. I can see Rose being contrary like that, too.
no subject
"Um, Rose?"
"Yeah?"
"We're staying for the afternoon, right? That's what you said. An afternoon. An afternoon implies absolutely no sleeping over whatsoever in any way, shape or form. Very short afternoon. Probably won't even need to take off my coat it'll be so short. Hardly any time to listen to Jackie, which will be a damn shame, but you said an afternoon and I always make it a point to listen to you."
*stares*
"What's with the giant bag?"
"Oh that. Laundry."
"You do know that every single thing in that bag is clean, right?"
"So you tell me. Magic TARDIS nanobots or whatever. But how do I really know? Nothing wrong with some soap and water."
"Chemicals in the soap and I shudder when I think about the water at Jackie's. Seriously, just leave it to the nanobots."
"Ah, but can your nanobots make my clothes smell like "mountain spring?"
"Yes."
"Oh, they cannot."
"They could if they wanted to."
"Okay, make them do it. Right now."
"Um...they're sleeping."
"I'm taking the bag."

Well, of COURSE! :)

Absolutely.
