'Ghostlight' TARDIS Key.

Tell you what Rassilonsrod, if the DWE is genuine I think you just published the clearest picture to date. lol

Honestly though, the keys in that display the_doctor posted (thanks for the well wishes BTW) don't seem to match any of the "Screen Used Key" pictures we've seen before. Hard to tell from an angle though.

lswl, at the price I'm sure it will go for, the thing would have to open an actual, functioning TARDIS. lol

Anyone here related to Trump?

The auction for one on the keys is on the 29th. Perhaps someone local could nip down and get some reference piccies...

Is this the auction you're referring to?

I'll call that a "yes".

Steve Ricks has posted some extremely excellent photographs on his 7th Doctor costume blog.

I won't post all of them, but here's a great detail shot of the central "triangle" of the front of the key:




Please do visit the post, as there's also a photograph of the back of that particular key.

Finally the mystery is solved!

Wow!!! Offline for a couple days and *poof* mystery solved!

Truth be told, I am EXCEEDINGLY pleased to be proven wrong, and not just because it means we finally got good pictures of the thing. I would have been quite bummed had my wire theory been the actual "design concept", y'know?.

Doctor Who

The Doctor's (Sylvester McCoy) TARDIS key


This original TARDIS key was used in the production of the BBC television science fiction series Doctor Who.

Such a key can be seen used by Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor in the episodes Ghost Light and Survival. The key was originally constructed in plastic board, molded in silicon and cast in resin by Mike Tucker of the BBC Visual Effects Department for production, the key features the Prydonian Time Lord symbol and is presented on its original chain.

In excellent production used condition throughout the key measures approximately 2.5" long.

A incredibly rare example of a Doctor's hand prop from the classic series of this long running science fiction show.

For anybody interested in doing this key, I've attempted to make a clean diagram to replicate this key. Here's a PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AfkzDXLZDsyARxKrkuhKRJG5CmLAo-_R/view?usp=sharing

The diagram in the PDF is drawn to be 70 mm tall if printed in an A4 paper. I reckon the key is roughly that height but if there's a known measurement or somebody with more experience than me has guesstimated a different height for this key I'd be more than happy to correct it.

Surely you mean 70mm or 7cm

Yep, that's what I meant. Corrected now. Thanks!
