Doctor Who Prop Hunt

Hey folks. It’s time for another quick update, rounding up additional finds of props I have already posted about.

You’ll have your hand off! INVASION OF THE DINOSAURS, 1974 The Doctor’s dino stun gun actually first appeared in…. MADAME SIN, 1972 …. a fairly obscure British thriller starring Bette Davis, Robert Wagner, and Denholm Elliott.
