From tomorrow (3rd November 2026), you can join a rather unusual Kickstarter campaign that highlights a part of Doctor Who that’s often overlooked: the titles!
The Teatime Telly Pin Collection turns title cards into a series of collectible enamel pins which you can keep, trade, and wear, each sold in blind bags to make the hunt for your favourite adventures all part of the fun. Or indeed all the more frustrating.
Each blind bag contains one randomly selected enamel pin, featuring an iconic story title. With 26 unique designs, plus glitter variants of every pin, there’s an entire collection waiting to be discovered. The pins are produced using soft enamel in a black-dyed metal base. They’re then topped with a clear, domed epoxy resin coating to give the impression of a vintage CRT television screen – perfect for teatime telly viewing! The result is a durable, beautifully finished collectible that captures the character of the original title screen in miniature.
These are presented in waves, with the first tackling an iconic era of the show: the Philip Hinchcliffe years, and the first season produced by Graham Williams. Wave One presents all 23 stories broadcast across Seasons 12 to 15, featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, beginning with Robot and ending with The Invasion of Time, taking in trips to see the Genesis of the Daleks, the Terror of the Zygons, and even Underworld along the way. These stories are represented by 24 different story title designs, including an ultra rare variant of The Ark in Space, inspired by the alternate colour way used on the titles seen on Part One of the serial.
Alongside the story title pins, there are a further two mystery designs mixed in, though exactly what they are will be kept a secret until people start opening their blind bags. Every one of the 26 pins also has its own rare glitter variant, appearing in approximately one in every 10 blind bags. That means there’s a total of 52 different pins from Wave One.
The Teatime Telly Pins campaign launches on Kickstarter at 3pm (GMT) on Tuesday 3rd November 2026 and runs through until 23rd November.
