Also in the same auction was a truly beautiful piece of original hand-painted artwork from the cover of a 1960s Dalek annual dating from 1964.

Series Three costume index

With the start of the new series, William Hartnell is now seen wearing a new pair of darker trousers. There are a much finer sign of houndstooth compared to those worn in his first two series.

That aside, his costume remains fairly constant throughout this series, rounding out the year with a return to almost his original costume to include the calf-length cape and his Black Astrakhan Ambassadors style hat.

Bonhams FLASHBACK: 23rd June 2010 Entertainment Memorabilia

When I was at the last Bonhams auction, one of the auctioneers made mention of a further sale in June, where Doctor Who items would be available.

I think I was expecting another full-on sale of ex-BBC items, but what it appears to be is a general Memorabilia sale, with a hand full of Who related lots.

There are seventeen items in total, and you need to real carefully what they are. The repeated use of the phrase “built for exhibition purposes” is a bit disappointing.

I’ll go to the viewing, but I can’t see myself bidding on anything.

Bonhams sale 17973
(23rd June 2010)
Entertainment Memorabilia

As usual I have separated the items by Doctor era, and you can see the rest of the items here:

Lots 128 - 129
2nd Doctor (1966-1969)

Lots 133. 136
3rd Doctor (1970-1974)

Lots 130, 134 - 135
4th Doctor (1975-1981)

Lots 131, 140 - 142
5th Doctor (1982-1984)

Lots 132 - 133
6th Doctor(1984-1986)

Lot 137
7th Doctor (1987-1989)

Lot 142
9th Doctor (2005)

Here are just the lots relating to the First Doctor era

Lot No: 126
Part believed to be from Dr. Who And The Daleks, 1964 and The Chase, 1965
A Dalek, with back section removed to reveal interior, of wood, plastic and metal, the skirt section heavily overpainted in grey, with blue hemispheres, with quilted fabric to removed rear section edges, the shoulder, neck and dome sections created for exhibition purposes, plunger missing, slats of plastic with impressed foam between, height approximately 64 inches

Estimate: £2,000 - 3,000
Sold for £4,800

Footnote:
It is believed that the skirt section of this lot is the oldest surviving screen used Dalek prop.
Thought to have been acquired by the BBC from the film company Aura after completion of 'Dr. Who And The Daleks', the Dalek was then used during the 1965 William Hartnell era story 'The Chase'. Subsequently, the piece was altered for exhibition purposes, including the removal of the back section.

Series Two costume index

My research into the First Doctor’s costume continues with Series Two.

Until putting this together I hadn’t picked up on The Doctor continuing to wear a cloak he purloined from Revolutionary France at the end of the previous series.

I guess I’ve been watching random stories out of sequence, and hadn’t seen The Reign Of Terror that often due to the missing episodes.
