Now I’ve got a new place for all my First Doctor costumes, I thought I’d pull together all the recent auctions that have included costume pieces from Hartnell’s era.Here is the first, from June 2009.
Amongst the James Bond and Beatles items (and Christopher Lee’s original cape from his first Dracula film) are a number of original Doctor Who costumes, some dating right back to the very first season in 1964.
Also on sale are three Doctor costumes; one from Jon Pertwee’s last series; Jon Pertwee’s jacket when he appeared in the Children In Need special, Dimensions In Time; and a near complete Colin Baker outfit (sadly missing the coat).
Visiting the sale gave me the chance to see first-hand some fabulous original Hartnell era costumes and appreciated the detail that went into making them.
