Description

Doctor Who (BBC TV, 1963-1989), "Dalek" From the 1993 Documentary "Thirty Years In The TARDIS". Reproduction Dalek constructed ca. 1980s with design based on the 1960s First Doctor (William Hartnell)-era villains. Seen in the 30th Anniversary documentary "Thirty Years in the TARDIS" released in 1993. Measuring 61" x 35" x 53" overall, and constructed from wood and metal interior framework with molded fiberglass exterior, finished in silver with light blue hemispheres. Movable arms, and a movable central eyestalk between two ping-pong ball 'lights' to the dome, and black fabric mesh below dome. The Dalek is on caster wheels, with the dome and midsection removable from the 'body' for transport. The mid-section has no 'slats' which is consistent with the Dalek's early "Dead Planet" style appearing in 1963 and 1964. This Dalek was used by the BBC at the Television Centre during the filming of the documentary "Thirty Years in the TARDIS". The Director Kevin Davis required a faithful dalek prop for a scene set inside a Skaro cell, where Jessica Carney (the real-life granddaughter of William Hartnell "The First Doctor") was hiding from it. Exhibits light production wear including minor repair including to the plunger end. This Lot is located in London, England, and special shipping arrangements via third party shipper will apply.
