RICKMANSWORTH (United Kingdom), Feb 3 — From a Tardis to a Dalek, Doctor Who fans can bid from today to own a piece of television history as the BBC auctions off props from the cult sci-fi series.

The 17-day online auction features items from the modern era of the decades-spanning show, which first appeared on British TV in 1963 and relaunched in 2005 after a 16-year small-screen hiatus.
