O, but that can look quite nice at some times! (or maybe that's just me & my oddness . . .)
It's too heavy for an everyday look when you work as an office clerk, though...

& I've never heard of queijadas - are they sort of like a sweets version of quesadillas, or do they have cheese in them as well?
They are sweet, yes, and cheese is the main ingredient. As I've said, the recipe has been kept a secret by the Sintra confectioners, but my expert taste buds can vouch that it also includes cinnamon and almonds.

Anyway, have some quotes from the War Games production subtitles:

In the late 1960s, Doctor Who rehearsals usually took place in a rented church hall, St Helen's in West London. The process began with a script read-through.
(...)
The cast wore their own clothes to rehearsal - if occasionally minus some garment or other through some actorish prank. Doctor Who had been coming to St Helen's since 1966, so the vicar was probably getting used to theatricals and their curious ways: no terrors for him in a trouserless Troughton, or Wendy Padbury in her knickers!

And here's another one:
It was usually Wendy Padbury who got the worst of it on location: she often had to be wearing a short skirt. Despite her extra coverage this time round, her dresser still came equipped with a much needed fur coat and brandy bottle. Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines had their own way of helping her out, known as a "Wendy sandwich". It was based on the principle of three people sharing body heat, with the smallest one in the middle. (Use your imagination.)

And finally one we've already discussed:
As it was first envisaged, the colour series would feature Zoe stranded on Earth alongside the new Doctor. The production team expected to lose Frazer Hines that year, but rather hoped that Wendy Padbury would stay on. Frazer's agent was pushing to get him out of television and into a big-screen career (which never materialised). His original plan was to leave Doctor Who at the end of 1968, 12 episodes into the series. (That would mean leaving Jamie behind on a planet of newly tamed Amazons, in a serial which was later abandoned.) When Frazer heard that Patrick Troughton was leaving too, he decided to give it six more months. That made up Wendy's mind: all three regulars would go together at the end of the 1968-9 series. The new Doctor would now be assisted by a scientist named Liz, who had not yet been cast as "The War Games" drew to an end.
