Support Children in Need by Bidding on Rare Doctor Who Items In Charity Auction

It’s Children in Need tonight (13th November 2026), and you can help support the charity by bidding on some Doctor Who items — and be in with a chance of owning some unique screen-used props!

BBC Children in Need has teamed up with the second-hand marketplace, Vinted, to give fans the chance to own one-of-a-kind props, costumes, and memorabilia from shows such as Amandaland, Wimbledon, Strictly Come Dancing, BBC Breakfast, EastEnders, Eurovision, and, of course, Doctor Who! This ‘wardrobe’ of goodies will be open and live for shopping during the live Children in Need show tonight.

Items you can bid for include a double bass used in The Church on Ruby Road (Ncuti Gatwa’s first full episode as the Fifteenth Doctor) and the Vortex Indicator prop from Series 15, which the Doctor used in an effort to get his newest companion, Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) back to her own time. It’s actually a very cool design, as is the double bass used by one of the Goblins in the Christmas episode.

Adam Jay, chief executive of Vinted, said:

“We know our members care about making a positive difference, so we’re proud to partner with BBC Children In Need and bring the Vinted community together to raise money for young people across the UK. The wardrobe sale is a brilliant opportunity for people to discover and own iconic pieces from much-loved BBC shows, while helping to make a difference. All money raised from the sale, including platform fees, will go directly to BBC Children In Need and Vinted will double the amount raised, helping to maximise the donation to the charity.”

The All Star Wardrobe will be available to purchase on Vinted from 7.15pm.
