A New Paradigm Drone Dalek skirt from the production of BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who. The New Paradigm were first introduced in the Season 5 episode "Victory of the Daleks". These new Daleks were much bulkier than their predecessors and introduced a colour-coded hierarchy. The bright red Drone Dalek also appeared in the Season 5 episode "The Pandorica Opens" and Season 7's "Asylum of the Daleks", where its red casing colour was much darker, as with this particular Dalek.

The Dalek's skirt is made of moulded fibreglass and resin with a medium-density fibreboard interior, all fitted onto a black rubber base. It features grey sense globes, and a wooden operator seat is fitted inside. The lot exhibits notable paint wear and several of the sense globes are missing. However, the skirt exhibits some sympathetic restoration and assembly. Dimensions: 136 cm x 95 cm x 138 cm (53 1/2" x 37 1/2" x 54 1/4")

A percentage of the final hammer price of this lot will benefit BBC Children in Need (charity number 802052 in England & Wales and SC039557 in Scotland.) BBC Children in Need, Pudsey Bear and Blush are trade marks of the BBC and are used under licence.
