Doctor Who announces its biggest props and costume auction ever with over 150 lots
The online Propstore auction will be launched to support Children in Need.
Ready to own a piece of Doctor Who TV history for yourself?
Well, it could very well be your chance to take home a major memento from the long-running sci-fi series as it's been announced today (for Doctor Who Day, no less) that a major online auction will be launching in February 2025.
Set to be the biggest in the show's history, it will include around 150 Doctor Who lots in a bid to raise money for Children in Need, with a previously announced two-lot auction ending today.
BBC Studios confirmed that it will be partnering with film memorabilia specialist and auction company Propstore on the project, with bids starting from £100 on many of the lots.
It's been an exciting time for Doctor Who fans as of late, and there are some iconic gems from the series that could very well be yours for the taking.
The auction will include props and costumes from the show's history and will span the Tenth to Thirteenth Doctor eras.
Primary costumes from the Tenth (David Tennant), Eleventh (Matt Smith), Twelfth (Peter Capaldi) and Thirteenth (Jodie Whittaker) Doctors will be up for grabs, as well as a Traitor Dalek and even a 50th anniversary TARDIS.
And while they may be the stuff of nightmares, a Weeping Angel statue will also be up for sale in February's auction.
If you've always wanted a piece of the beloved sci-fi series for yourself, this could very well be your chance as the auction is open to everyone worldwide and prices on many of the lots will start from £100.

The auction announcement follows on from what has already been an exciting Doctor Who Day for fans, with the occasion being marked by new pictures of this year’s Christmas special, Joy to the World, as well as the news that there will be a brand new special edition of a classic tale.
It's been announced today that Patrick Troughton's final story as the Second Doctor, The War Games, is set to be colourised and enhanced, as well as being updated with visual and sound effects and even the Second Doctor's regeneration into the Third Doctor – on screen for the first time.
The episode was originally aired in 1969 but this new edition will also feature "recovered footage not seen since the original broadcast" and will air this coming December on BBC Four and iPlayer.
The Doctor Who online auction will launch in February 2025 on the Propstore website. Doctor Who is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
