Do they end up in private collections? Do they get auctioned? Or does the BBC hoard them all? « Last Edit: Jun 16, 2009, 11:03pm by Rebuilders » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Regards!

Please correct me if I'm wrong (I often am ) but isn't there a picture of the McCoy TARDIS in your garden Dale?

The mid Tom Baker box is in private hands, as is the first of the two fibre glass 1980s props - the other is still retained by the Beeb. The two TV Movie boxes were junked (supposedly) and obviously there are the current ones. The 1960s movie props are no more and the More than 30 Years TARDIS is also owned privately.

Andrew Beech does have the first 80's prop, whereas the BBC has the second 80's prop. Andrew also has the Five Doctors console. The owner of the Who shop doesn't seem to have the Peter Cushing Box, as much as she proclaims. We determined that the Cushing box as destroyed in an Avengers episode by a baby buggy bomb. What prop she has, we don't know its origin.

Elsewhere on this board (or possibly on GallifreyBase) it's been commented that the box was either redesigned or rebuilt between the two Cushing movies. So that means there were two. If one was blown up by Purdey & Co...what happened to the other one? Hmm? Yes? What m'boy?

Last I heard it got moved to Wales for safer keeping. The box at Panopticon would have been the MK1 '80's prop Andrew Beech has.
