Louise Page - The Tie Two story

A few days ago Louise Page told us the story behind the Tie One, and how it was an eleventh hour after thought.

Today she will tell us about Tie Two, one of the more popular ties the Tenth Doctor wore.

One of these ties (along with three others) sold at Bonhams for over £1,600.
This sale revealed the label to be Daniel Hechter.

It was used a lot early during publicity photo-shoots, but its debut appearance was in the RedButton adventure Attack Of The Graske.

The tie was then a regular, cropping up in New Earth, Rise Of The Cybermen, The Age Of Steel, Doomsday, The Runaway Bride, Partners In Crime, The Unicorn and the Wasp, The End Of Time Pt 1 and The End Of Time pt 2.

With no less than ten episode appearances, it is a very familiar design with fans.

It’s also been the most copied, with Magnoli Clothiers doing three versions to date.


Louise explained to me the story behind the tie, and the unusual pet name she gave it!



Check back soon to hear about the next tie, Tie Three, and why it only appeared once, in School Reunion.
Thanks to Kevin Coppa for giving the interview clips the polished look, and enormous thanks to Louise Page for sharing her memories of dressing the Tenth Doctor with us all
