Doctor Who: 10th Doctor's Glasses, Have they been IDed?

Theres a large image on the BBC site of him wearing them

Ah, excellent photo, I have the same one but it was way smaller. That's probably going to be one of the better reference shots without doing some screencaps. Thanks

Shameless bump!

I have a pair of glasses almost identical tortoise shell glasses from Next, but they differ slightly in that they have the Next logo on a small metal plate on the arm at hinge end - but they could have been removed on the prop to avoid product placement.

Do you have a link where they can be bought online?

Anyone else have any leads? I've hit the wall again.

You could try asking on the BBC site you never know they might help

Next's on-line store don't seem to stock them I just checked... I'm not sure if you can get them from the actual store either - I got them before DT started wearing his, a good 3 or 4 years ago. i bought a pair of black and a pair of tortoiseshell brown. Back then everyone at work called me 'Joe 90' when I started wearing them... now it's 'here comes Dr Who'

Took a snapshot of me wearing mine, but the flash from the mirror means you can't really see the tortoise shell...

Well damn. Those glasses look pretty close and I haven't been able to find anything that was anywhere near as similar. At the very least I know it exists but it sucks that I can't FIND them anywhere to buy them lol

I think I may need to start poking around on some Who boards and I think I might try the BBC site, thanks guys.

I know this is a really old thread, but for anyone still looking.





Ok, the pics SUCK, and even if they didn't the glasses aren't 100%, but there not bad at all (especially considering I was going on memory when I found them.) And, why they were only $1. (I got them at the $ tree.)

Rock on! I've been looking for the glasses and if those will work til I find the accurate ones, I'm all about picking a pair up for a dollar :-)

Guys, there's a member on another messageboard I go to that works for an optician and she takes her job very seriously. If need be, I can hit her up for some help IDing these frames!

BUT... she IS in the States, so I don't know how much she knows about frames from the UK.

Okay, I realize this thread is dead, but this is the only place I found a discussion about this, and I found some GREAT information on this topic.

First off, judging by the pictures I've seen, Tennant's "brainy specs" are WOOD glasses.

Now, given that, there is a manufacturer that currently makes faux wood vintage-style glasses, and they're actually relatively cheap! So, guys, check this out:

Unisex's full rim plastic eyeglasses with wood grain texture - DBSN5101 | Firmoo.com

(look at the 2nd color option, the brown)

They aren't wood, they are horn. You can take that info to the bank as I've seen the documentation and handled the glasses.

For what it's worth, I've found another inexpensive pair that is remarkably close (closer than the ones on Firmoo in my opinion) from Zenni Optical:

Zenni Optical - Eyeglasses, 807925 Acetate Full-Rim Frame (Same Appearance as Frame #4479) Glasses

Only $26 with the base quality lenses if you need them.
