Rachel Talalay throws ebay auction for ACLU using rare memorabilia
BBC, Rachel Talalay and Peter Capaldi
Last night, Rachel Talalay announced that she would be putting up an auction of rare items. These include Doctor Who, Sherlock, Hairspray, and more!
In case, by any chance, you don’t know who Rachel Talalay is, she probably directed your favorite episodes of Peter Capaldi’s era. She has every series finale — as well as the upcoming Christmas special — under her belt. She’s also directed an episode of Sherlock, Hairspray, Preacher, and other shows.
The link to the eBay auctions are here, and you can find everything from fidget spinners, rare photos, t-shirts, and more. We have a little bit of information about the Doctor Who memorabilia up for auction. The auction will support the following corporations, which Talalay has explained in her Tumblr post.
"The items will benefit the ACLU, which has been active in supporting equality for women directors, Planned Parenthood, which I hope I don’t have to explain to you, and the Southern Poverty Law Clinic which is a watchdog against hate groups. Also Emily’s List. And the Full Flood Endowment Fund (which is related to the On The Farm and missing women’s families.Anything can be autographed at the winner’s request."
As for the swag available, there are some interesting and very rare items available.
Doctor Who Merchandise
The Fidget Spinners were custom made for the Christmas Episode crew and cast, and have a tardis on one side, and Xmas 2017 on the other. There are three up for auction, already reaching a considerable amount.
There is also a Doctor Who snap back crew hat from the series nine finale. It was also an exclusive crew gift from Talalay.
For your tea, you can drink out of another rare crew gift! For the series 10 finale, Rachel used a picture she took of the Tardis and printed it on the mug. Rare and useable!
The big Doctor Who item up for sale, already above $450 within a day on sale, is a photograph book for Peter Capaldi’s birthday. Six of these exist in the world. This is the sixth.
There is also a fan-made iPhone 7 case, featuring Missy and the Master.
