Monsters and villains which have sent generations of Doctor Who fans fleeing for the safety of the back of the sofa will go under the hammer this month.
Costumes worn by Kylie Minogue and David Tennant and Billie Piper are also included in the sale at Bonhams.

Among the highlights are Minogue's waitress costume worn when she played Astrid Perth in the 2007 special Voyage of the Damned. It is expected to fetch up to £3,000.
From the same special, 10th Doctor Tennant's two-piece Paul Smith dinner suit is also valued at the same amount.

Various garments worn by the Doctor's assistants, Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) and Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) are also up for auction.
Stephanie Connell, entertainment memorabilia specialist at Bonhams, said: "Doctor Who is without doubt one of the most important and best-loved British television programmes and we are delighted to have the opportunity to offer some of the most iconic costumes and props from the show."
Fans can also snap up their own Cyberman costume, with various designs and sizes from the 1980s on offer from £1,000 to £3,000.
Two Imperial Daleks from 1988 are also in the sale. One, altered for exhibition purposes, could raise £3,500, while the other is set to raise up to £7,000.

A collection of armour from an episode from the 1980s is expected to raise about £400 while several "robot clown" costumes from the same era could go for about £300.
A Sea Devil Warrior from a 1984 episode has been valued at up to £2,500, while a Time Lord velvet robe worn by Baker in 1976 could raise £650.
