Our favourite item from the current Doctor Who prop auction? The Doctor's astronomical clock from "The Lie of the Land", of course! From afar it looks awfully like the famous one in Prague, but getting close you can see a certain key difference...

The Twelfth Doctor defeats the Boneless using the TARDIS, which sends a vortex of light out, banishing them because they have insisted on continuing to act as monsters!

Leela tells me you speak the truth. The one on the left is a fearsome warrior, and deserves the title of Prezi-dent more than anyone, for leading her tribe through the darkest of times...

The one on the right speaks in tongues, and will sink if thrown over-board. Like a heavy stone. No comparison!
