Umbrella

Umbrellas offered hand-held shelter against the rain or snow. They were particularly associated with rainy climates on Earth, such as was found in the United Kingdom. The Doctor had several umbrellas over the course of their various incarnations, and, accordingly, flipped-flopped on whether they kept an umbrella stand in the console room of the TARDIS.

Fortunately, the TARDIS wardrobe provided him with a suitable replacement. (PROSE: The Useful Pile)

Behind the scenes

 * In the webcast Scream of the Shalka, an alternative Ninth Doctor kept a plain black umbrella in an umbrella stand, which the Master had a habit of leaving in the TARDIS's zeppelin hangar.
 * The Sixth Doctor's multi-coloured umbrella was an unplanned extra, which was hastily provided on the day of Colin Baker's first photocall as the Doctor in order to protect the costume from rain. Merchandisers who used these photographs for reference subsequently included the umbrella with the costume.
