00:00 Hi, I'm Brian Matox. I've been a Doctor Who fan since I was nine years old. I've been
00:06 collecting since I was nine years old and this is my Doctor Who room and I have got
00:12 videos, DVDs, Blu-rays, posters, comics, magazines, figures, everything you can imagine and this
00:21 is where it all happens. I got into Doctor Who probably when I was about five or six
00:26 but I found it a little bit too frightening. I used to have to sit on my Dad's knee when
00:30 I was six but those memories stuck with me. And then when I was a child and possibly because
00:37 I was a very, very bullied child, this was my escape to somewhere else where I could
00:44 go through time and space and love all the adventures and the monsters and it let your
00:50 imagination go wild when you were a child and it gave you that permission to have that
00:55 sort of imagination and you could write your own stories and have your own adventures and
01:01 that just became a brilliant escapism and I still possibly use a little bit like that
01:07 today. This is a Doctor Who VHS from 1983 which my parents bought me for 40 quid which
01:17 was an awful lot of money in 1983 and this is the very first ever home video release
01:23 that the BBC ever did so apparently this is even worth quite a lot of money now. Blimey,
01:29 when I was a child back in the 70s these were some of my favourite toys that I ever had
01:35 and I couldn't wait to play with them and in fact I probably got through about four
01:40 of these before I started collecting because it was so worn out but I've managed to get
01:46 all of these in near mint condition since I was a child and I loved these. This is a
01:53 1965 Dalet board game and I believe it's the very first ever Doctor Who board game,
01:59 there's been quite a few over the years but this is a very, very rare Dalet board game
02:05 and it took me quite a while to find this but I believe this is probably worth around
02:09 200, 300 quid, possibly more on eBay.
