If you’ve ever watched Doctor Who and wanted The Doctor to materialize in your living room and drop off a Dalek, your moment is almost here. In early 2026, BBC Studios and Propstore are teaming up for an online auction that invites Whovians around the world to bid on iconic pieces of the show’s long, imaginative legacy. From historic costumes to beloved props, this is the kind of event that makes a Doctor Who fan’s heart (or hearts) skip a beat.
Scheduled to run from February 3 to February 19, this auction will feature over 200 lots, giving everyone with a passion for the Whoniverse a chance to take home a tangible piece of the longest-running sci-fi show in history. Bids start at just £100 (roughly $130), but you can bet many of the starring items will draw spirited competition. Among the highlights is a bronze Time War Dalek, the fearsome design first seen in episodes like Asylum of the Daleks.

Fans are scrambling to decide what to bid on, with one commenter summing up the feeling. ‘The fan who wins this,’ he writes about a section of screen-used TARDIS, ‘is really gonna have new who history on their hands.’
Any winning bids fans make will also help a charity with deep ties to the show. A full 20% of the net sale price goes to BBC Children in Need, continuing a years-long tradition of the BBC using their seminal sci-fi show to raise money for the charity.
And here’s a benchmark for just how much love the community pours into these events: at last year’s Doctor Who Propstore / BBC auction, fans and collectors raised an astonishing £245,243 (roughly $331,000) for BBC Children in Need. Those proceeds came from more than 2,000 participants around the globe, all bidding passionately on over 170 lots.

For those not familiar, Doctor Who is a British science-fiction series that began in 1963, following the Doctor, a Time Lord who travels through time and space in the TARDIS. Its unique regeneration concept allows new actors to play the lead, helping the show endure for over six decades. Known for imaginative storytelling and a devoted global fanbase, it remains a defining symbol of British pop culture and television history.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or someone whose living room just recently blossomed with Doctor Who posters, this online auction is an opportunity to get a piece of something magical while helping a great cause. You might just bring home a relic of the Whoniverse and maybe have your own Doctor Who story for years to come.
