Everything from early Daleks to actor David Tennant's shirt was offered for sale. Canny investors were even getting into Kylie Minogue's bloomers, if you pardon the expression.
A waitress outfit, boots and bloomers she wore when she played the tenth doctor's glamorous assistant went for £3,120 including tax and commission. Tennant's pale blue shirt fetched £1,260.

Nostalgia, of course, was largely the inspiration for bidders, most of whom grew up with the Good Doctor when the series first hit black-and-white TV screens in 1963.
But many would also be aware that a good condition Dalek sold recently for a staggering £36,000 - and that prices are steadily rising.
Likewise, a simple piece of merchandise that could be had for a shilling in pocket money nearly five decades ago could now be worth a small fortune. more
