Based on my pictures from the DW Experience, I think bottom ribbing is about 22 rows, and the ribbing around the neck is about 10 rows. I've uploaded the picture of Five's costume here (I had to lower the resolution a bit though, unfortunately).

Your sweater looks awesome, by the way! Good luck!

That's not my sweater. That's the screen-used sweater on display at the Doctor Who Experience in London.

According to "The Doctor Who Pattern Book" (Joy Gammon; W.H. Allen; London; 1984) it's knit on straight needles. The waist ribbing is 2 1/2"(6cm) and the neck is 2 rows black, 4 rows red, 2 rows white, 3 rows brown and finally 8 rows white. Hope this helps!
