New look

I still haven't watched the whole of Britain's Brightest, but it got me thinking about a change of appearance. I always do these things in my normal scruffy clothes, unless the TV show specifically orders me to wear a big black cloak, but I can't help thinking that this particular one would have worked better if I was wearing something a bit fancy. Most of what I said was scripted, which is my excuse for any bits that sounded horribly unnatural, but judging by what the script said, I think they were expecting a slightly more flamboyantly eccentric kind of "memory expert"...

I've always wondered what it would be like to wear a suit that fits me - even when I'm being an accountant, I wear a tatty old thing like a scarecrow with an office job might - so should I maybe splash out and get one? Maybe go all Doctor Who and wear a bow tie? I just fancy the idea of making a change and being eccentric in a way that doesn't involve appearing on TV in a jumper that I've had since I was sixteen. Any suggestions?
