Doctor Who

An original arrow used in the production of the long running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.

This arrow was used in the 1988 serial Silver Nemesis starring Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor and is a key plot device and one of a number of elements that must be bought together to gain control of the Nemesis. The prop is an off the shelf arrow which was primed, chromed and lacquered silver for the story in the same manner as the Cyberman helmets, this process resulted in a reaction which turned the props a deep gold colour.

The arrow tip retains this gold colour with the main shaft of the arrow having heavily flaked revealing the primer underneath, otherwise the prop is in good production used condition with the feathers still retaining some of the original silver finish. The arrow measures an impressive 32" in length.

A fantastic example of a key plot device from this 25th anniversary story which marked the final appearance of the Cybermen in the classic series of the show.
