The Doctor Who outfit worn by Tom Baker has sold for 12 times its estimate at an auction of TV and movie memorabilia.
The costume - including a burgundy frock coat, brown tweed trousers and the Timelord's famous stripey scarf - went for £24,600 in the sale at Bonham's in Knightsbridge, west London. It had been expected to fetch £1,500-£2,000.
The Batman and Robin outfits worn by David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst as Del Boy and Rodney in the 1996 Only Fools and Horses episode Heroes and Villains sold for £10,200 - double their estimate.
An Army jacket worn by actor Arthur Lowe as Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army fetched £3,120 (estimate £600-£800).
The cloak worn by Sir Alec Guinness as Obi Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars movie sold for £54,000. An anonymous telephone bidder snapped up the outfit, which had an estimate of £50,000 - £60,000.
The collection of outfits was created and supplied by Angels the Costumiers, which was founded in 1840 and is thought to be the world's longest-established supplier of costumes to the industry.
