I have a terrible weakness for Gallifreyan formal dress. It's so ossified and so badly executed! And the collars... ah, the collars.
Tom Baker's hair made the skullcaps look especially ridiculous. I'm betting that in the modern BBC budget, either Eccleston or Tennant could look cold, forbidding, and terrifying in those robes. So could Pertwee have, if called for.
I think Gallifreyan dress, like Gallifreyan customs, has a great deal more to do with decorum than with becomingness or comfort.
The Five Doctors was such a relief after two weeks spent reluctantly finishing The Dalek Invasion of Earth. And I do mean reluctantly; we grimly soldiered though an ep every night or two so that we could say we'd seen one complete Hartnell.
However, TFD very much makes me want to look up Troughton.
