Thomas Nash tie -
target acquired!

Confession time.

When I wrote about the latest couple of ties to appear on eBay, I knew who had bought one of them – me!

I decided that although the Thomas Nash tie,was only seen in one episode (The Idiot’s Lantern, see left), it is a distinctive design I wanted to add to my collection.

I only stumbled across the listing while looking around for other things, and how anyone else found it with the title dr who prop tie, I don’t know!
But find it they did and it had risen to over £200 not long after it started.

I held back, and didn’t bid until the dying seconds of the last minute of the auction, and put in a killer bid. Luckily for me it only pushed the price up £5 from where it was, and the tie was mine!

My PayPal account was notably lighter though!

  3. But was it a prop from the show? Are you wearing a Tennant original?

  4. No!
    That's part of the irony - its not even screen used!

    It looks nice in my collection - I keep telling myself that and I feel a bit better!

  5. Just checked with Magnoli clothiers: if you send them the tie, they will duplicate it!!! Please be a pal and let the rest of the world have a chance to own this awesome tie.
