Bonhams auction - 12th December 2012

It’s nearly December, and that means yet another Bonhams Entertainment Memorabilia sale.

As usual Doctor Who gets a look in, with a range of eras represented, including a stunningly colourful poster for the second Peter Cushing Dalek film, Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD.

But the main items on offer cover the now finished spin-off series, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures. Since both these series had the bulk of their runs alongside the Tennant era, I have listed them in my Coat blog.

Here is the only item from the Pertwee era.


As usual I have separated the items by Doctor era, and you can see the rest of the items here:
Here are just the lots relating to the Third Doctor era

Lot 143
Doctor Who - The Planet Of The Spiders: A group of original scripts, March-May 1974, comprising rehearsal scripts for Episodes 1-5, and camera scripts for Episodes 3-6, with some annotations, together with a statement confirming provenance
Estimate: £1,200 - 1,500

Footnotes
This story was the last to feature Jon Pertwee as the Doctor, ending with his transformation into Tom Baker. These scripts were obtained from a member of the Special Effects team.

TV ACTION + Countdown - November 1972

Exactly forty years ago this month, TV Action + Countdown comic had The Doctor concluding his battle against the mysterious Steel Fist.

Strangely, the villain of the piece bear an uncanny resemblance to an Ice Warrior, last seen earlier that year in The Curse Of Peladon.

The back cover of issue 93 has a profile of Jon Pertwee, alias The Doctor.

It’s interesting to see his character name listed correctly for once, as he was continually misbilled as Doctor Who.
