The spotlight of the auction shines brightly on an excellent collection of Doctor Who lots, featuring an array of memorabilia that spans the era of William Hartnell’s First Doctor to David Tennant’s Tenth. Among the coveted items are collections of Doctor Who paperbacks, that promise to be a bibliophile’s dream, diving deep into the lore and adventures of the Time Lord.
Puzzle enthusiasts and collectors will be thrilled by the selection of Doctor Who jigsaws, including pieces featuring Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and Peter Davison. These puzzles not only offer a nostalgic challenge but also capture iconic moments and characters from the series. Annuals have always held a special place in the hearts of Doctor Who fans, and the auction includes classic Doctor Who and Dalek Annuals, with a rare Jon Pertwee example among them. This collector’s gem offers a glimpse into the early days of Doctor Who fandom, with stories and illustrations that have captivated generations. For those who appreciate the artistry behind the show, Rare Remus Doctor Who 3D clay picture play kits are up for grabs.

Highlighting the auction are two Boxed Palitoy Doctor Who Daleks, which are sure to be the envy of collectors.
