Did I hear that Idris's dress is at the Experience? If it is and you could take some general shots and detail shots of it that would be excellent and very kind of you. Also, if they have any of Amy and Rory's S6 costumes that would be good too, but I don't want to put in too many requests. I'm excited about the AC whisk!

Hope you have a good time. :)

You heard correct, it's positioned beside the Junk TARDIS console prop

I second the Idris costume suggestion! I'd especially love to see a close up of the skirt ruffles along the hem - I can't quite tell if there is trim there, or just a fancy dye job! Thanks so much, and I'm so jealous of your trip!!!! ;)

Anything at all related to River Song, Eight, or Seven? I don't know what will be available to view so I'm just throwing it out there :)

Whatever you get will be awesome, even if it's just a few quick snaps :D

From what I recall, there was one of the spacesuits from Silence in the Library, I don't know if that's of enough interest. Sadly unlike at previous exhibitions, they didn't have her screwdriver either, which would've been a nice inclusion (seeing as she currently isn't using it). Obviously the diary's still current so it won't be there. I don't know if there were any River Song specific costume pieces present.

As for the Eigth Doctor, there was a replica of his costume, but nothing else (sadly due to it being a Vancouver-based American production, no props have made their way across the Atlantic, although one American Whovian currently owns the Eigth Doctor TARDIS console prop).

As for the Seventh, they have most of his costume featuring the light-coloured jacket (sadly no hat or umbrella). They also have his TARDIS key, and of course, the console he used during McCoy's time on the show.

That's about it.

Oh, nearly forgot, they also have The Abomination (the Special Weapons Dalek) from Remembrance of the Daleks.

Oh my! Pictures of the Special Weapons Dalek would be greatly appreciated!

Anything Rose! I would love to see her costumes without crazy TV show lighting. Anything and everything to do with her that you feel like would be awesome!!!!!!

You can probably solve the mystery of what's on the back of the #7 TARDIS key. Purpleblancmange (as the prop expert is known) has some good info about that particular key, but the exact details are still unknown. It probably has a constellation not unlike the Pertwee/Baker spade key but could just as easily be smooth (no detail).

There is a Season 18 scarf there. It is reportedly a replica, but I'd like to see how good of a replica it is (might be a clue as to who knitted it).

[kingpinwriter]

That's dependant on whether the key's been flipped over.

However the mystery appears to have been solved thanks to the recent Bonhams auction:

Great info. Perhaps the back of the Pertwee/Baker key then (supposedly a bit different from the back of the TVM key).

So jealous that you get to go back! I was in London earlier this month and was able to do the Experience and OH! What a blast I had! Of course, my friend and I were the only adults there not chaperoning small children, but boy, was it worth the odd stares :)
