Costumes worn by David Tennant in Doctor Who up for auction

DOCTOR Who costumes worn by David Tennant and Peter Capaldi are among the memorabilia which will go on auction to raise funds for Children In Need.

A 50th anniversary Tardis, several Weeping Angel statues and a Dalek will also be part of the around 150 items from the sci-fi TV show which will go on sale in February with no specific date set yet.

The announcement comes after a costume worn by Kylie Minogue in the show’s 2007 Christmas special sold for £12,000 for the children’s charity on Saturday.

The upcoming February sale, which will see BBC Studios collaborate with memorabilia specialist Propstore, is expected to be the biggest Doctor Who props and costume auction to date including outfits worn by David Tennant, Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith, and Jodie Whittaker.
