UFO Control Panels

I like spotting reused props in Doctor Who, as readers of the Prop Spotting Thread on Roobarb's DVD Forum will testify.

Having found something interesting in the Stones of Blood and tweeted it, I had several replies pointing out the control panel from the UFO Moonbase in the same shot. However these panels are in so many stories that it's not surprising to see them.

So then, with the aid of a few existing screencaps for my Forty Years Of Tom Baker Blog and a few google image searches, here's a quick guide to some of their many Doctor Who appearance. The list is by no means exhaustive or complete!

It's first Doctor Who appearance is in the Green Death:

Followed by The Time Warrior.

Invasion of the Dinosaurs

Monster of Peladon

Genesis of the Daleks Part 1

Part 4

Part 6

Hand of Fear

Robots of Death

Invisible Enemy

Underworld

Stones of Blood

Armageddon Factor part two has something that might be one of the panels straightened out:

But the real thing shows up in Mentalis' chamber in the next episode:

Keeper of Traken

And finally Revelation of the Daleks!
