Iconic Sci-Fi Memorabilia Available to Public
A significant collection of props and costumes from the long-running science fiction series Doctor Who has entered public auction for the first time. The sale includes some of the most recognizable items from the show’s modern era, with a portion of proceeds directed toward children’s charitable initiatives.
Legendary Artifacts Up for Bids
Highlights of the auction feature two iconic sonic screwdrivers: one used by David Tennant during his recent return as the Fourteenth Doctor, and the illuminated “Joy To The World” version brandished by current star Ncuti Gatwa. A screen-matched damaged Tardis console from the 2022 New Year’s special ‘Eve Of The Daleks’ also stands among the coveted lots.
The collection spans multiple eras of the series, including Tennant’s initial tenure as the Tenth Doctor (2005-2010) and Gatwa’s ongoing portrayal as the Fifteenth Doctor. Other notable items include the NSDA4 Dalek model featured in every Dalek storyline since 2012, costumes worn by characters River Song and Amy Pond, and one of Gatwa’s outfits from upcoming episodes.
Accessible Collecting Opportunity
The online auction, managed by memorabilia specialists Propstore, launches this week with all lots starting at £100. The event aims to accommodate both casual fans and serious collectors through its accessible pricing structure. Bidding will remain open until February 19.
Charity Partnership Highlighted
Organizers confirmed that 20% of proceeds from the sale will benefit children’s welfare programs. “Supporting charitable initiatives through this sale makes it particularly meaningful,” stated Propstore CEO Stephen Lane. “We’re offering enthusiasts the chance to own television history while contributing to important causes.”
Sarah Bold, representing the series’ production group, emphasized the cultural significance of the items: “This auction provides a rare opportunity to own pieces that helped shape the show’s legacy. Preserving these artifacts ensures future generations can appreciate their historical value.”
The event marks the first official release of such materials directly from the production company to the public marketplace. Collectors worldwide are expected to participate in the bidding for these authenticated screen-used items.
