I wasn't a real fan, but I did watch my share of Dr.Who episodes on PBS back in the day. The shaggy hair guy with the long scarf was my favorite.

4th Doctor / Tom Baker.

Y'know...reading this back, it is slightly disturbing to me that the reason I have for not wanting a dalek is a lack of houseroom, as opposed to the price tag :P

There are may Dr. Who fans on the American side of the pond.

I'd have been there if I had £56 million in my pocket (Merkins - ref the English couple who won that amount on the Euro lottery recently). A Dalek would love wonderful in my new penthouse apartment. I'd station beside the lift to scare unsuspecting visitors.

JB has one in his porch actually. It's customised - black with a Torchwood logo dontchaknow.

I was reading an article about the auction, bout a week ago, i think. Can't remember the item now, but one of them was tagged at a probable £2.5k. And just for a moment, a really fleeting moment, the thought 'I have that' went through my head.

Just for a fraction of a second, the idea crossed my mind to spend a sizeable chunk of what Dad left me on Who stuff... *grins* That wouldn't be good.

At what point does fangurl obsession become something sectionable?

When you've got nowhere left to put it all and you feature in the 'and finally' spot of a regional TV news programme.

In a similar vein, you can make your own Cylon Teddy Bear. If someone gave me this for Valentines Day, I'd probably love them forever!

A snip at £20,400/$32,500

Hundreds of Doctor Who fans crammed into a London auction room on Wednesday to bid on classic costumes and props from the BBC sci-fi show.

The most expensive item of the day was a Dalek from the 1985 story Revelation of the Daleks - which sold for £20,400, including the auctioneer's fee.
