mightymadsFrom the DVD commentary (thanks tremendousdetectivetheorist on tumblr for sharing!):
David Stuart Davies (author of Bending the Willow): You managed to get him to wear a deerstalker, and he hated that, didn’t he?
John Madden (director of The Priory School episode): He did! He didn’t want to be uniquely associated with that. I think he felt it was somewhat ridiculous. Not the most elegant headgear.
David Stuart Davies: Jeremy was very fond of certain props—the walking stick and the long black scarf—which are both from the terms of the stories uncanonical, but he seems almost to be attached to that scarf most of the time. Did he say anything about that?
John Madden: I think Jeremy was a dandy. And one of the qualities that he exhumed on the character was that kind of dandiness which was really there but not necessarily something which would need to be emphasised. But Jeremy loved that, the sense of showmanship in the character. The grace and style of his mind was externalised in the way he dressed. He wanted to look good!
