Heritage is proud to present over 75 remarkable lots from The Time Machine Museum of Science Fiction. Founded in 2007 and located in Bromyard, the UK museum was one of Herefordshire's hidden gems and represents the Glazzard family's decades-long dedication to preserving and promoting the history of Science Fiction.

A centerpiece of the collection is its peerless Doctor Who archive – over 85% of the museum's holdings - including production-used props and costumes from both the Classic and New eras of the long-running TV show. Iconic villains such as Daleks, Cybermen, and Silurians are represented, in addition to the world's only known Mechanoid commissioned by the BBC for exhibition use.

Beyond Doctor Who, the collection features production-used and related pieces from other landmark franchises, including Star Wars, Star Trek: Voyager, and Red Dwarf - with standout items like an original flying model of Starbug and an original Kryten costume worn by Robert Llewellyn in Season 8.

Before settling in Bromyard, many of these artifacts toured the UK with important Doctor Who exhibitions in Blackpool, Longleat, Llangollen, and Cardiff.

This auction offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Science Fiction history - each item a testament to the Glazzard family's passion and lifetime of collecting.
