“Before you go anywhere, you ought to read this,” exclaimed the tall, fair-haired young man who at that moment had burst in the door, excitedly waving a book at him.

His face was long and tanned, and although it was gentle it also suggested enormous strength and determination. The cheerful newcomer was dressed in a kind of pale, knee-length blazer with bright red edging, a cream shirt, a cricket pullover and striped trousers. On the open collar of the shirt two red question-marks were embroidered. He looked as though he were dressed for a summer garden party or a regatta.

Ian Marter’s description of the Fifth Doctor from the novelization of Earthshock, as read by Peter Davison in the audio book version. It’s probably my favorite description of Fivey in the novelizations that I’ve encountered so far. So much better than Terrence Dicks’ “pleasant, open face”, which always makes me think of open-faced sandwiches whenever I see it. :|

No mention of the celery, though. Pity.
