For avid fans of the beloved BBC science fiction series Doctor Who, an exciting opportunity has emerged to acquire a slice of television legacy through an online auction featuring remarkable memorabilia. This event is not just another sale; it gives enthusiasts the chance to own iconic items that have graced the screen over the years.
Among the highlights up for bidding are a sonic screwdriver famously wielded by David Tennant during his return as the 14th Doctor, alongside a distinctive cracked TARDIS prop from the episode "Eve of the Daleks" from series 13. But that's not all! Collectors will also find the recently featured Joy To The World light-up sonic screwdriver, used by the 15th Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, and even a Dalek from the classic episode "Asylum of the Daleks" from series seven.
All auction items commence at a starting bid of £100, and it's heartwarming to note that 20% of the proceeds will be donated to BBC Children In Need, adding a philanthropic touch to this unique event.
Since its debut in 1963, with the original series concluding in 1989, Doctor Who has captivated audiences worldwide. The show saw a revival in 2005 thanks to the efforts of then-showrunner Russell T Davies and has since been produced in Cardiff, Wales.
Stephen Lane, the CEO of Propstore, who is managing the auction, expressed enthusiasm about the collection. He stated, "This is a truly special collection that reflects the depth, imagination, and enduring legacy of Doctor Who. Propstore is incredibly proud to collaborate with BBC Studios to present these extraordinary artifacts to auction, helping them find new homes where they will be cherished and preserved. Supporting BBC Children In Need through this sale makes it even more significant, and we’re thrilled to provide fans and collectors with the chance to own a piece of television history while contributing to a vital cause."
The auction features an extensive array of items from across the years, including pieces dating from 2005 to 2025, capturing both Tennant's time as the Doctor and Gatwa's recent portrayal. Noteworthy entries include River Song's costume from the episode "Rain Gods," a pregnant Amy Pond's outfit from the series five episode "Amy's Choice," and Gatwa's attire from the episode "The Reality War" in series 15.
The NSDA4 Dalek has made appearances in every Dalek storyline since 2012 and has been prominently featured in various promotional events, including notable occasions at Buckingham Palace.
Sarah Bold, head of marketing for global brands and licensing at BBC Studios, emphasized that this auction provides fans and collectors a unique opportunity to ensure these iconic items are preserved and valued for future generations. She remarked, "Doctor Who has an extraordinary legacy, and this auction presents a rare chance for enthusiasts to possess pieces that have significantly influenced its history."
