Doctor Who

An original screen used hat band worn by Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor in the long running BBC television series Doctor Who.

All of the paisley design hat bands worn on the hat were actually pocket handkerchiefs that were sourced for production by costume designer Ken Trew from a London tobacconist, the handkerchiefs were cut in half, folded and tied to be used on the hat throughout McCoy's tenure as The Doctor.

This particular hat band can be conclusively screen matched to the one worn by McCoy throughout the 25th anniversary serial Silver Nemesis and appears to be the only one used for this story. Every detail can be matched on screen proving that this hat band can be absolutely guaranteed 100% screen used even down to a thread of red cotton where it was stitched to the hat.

This represents an incredibly rare example of guaranteed screen used and matched Doctor's costume piece from this classic series celebrating its 50th anniversary.
