The worlds of British sci-fi are coming to Buckinghamshire.

On 24 May 2025, Discover Bucks Museum launches a major new exhibition ‘Beyond the Stars: a propmaker’s guide to the galaxy’ which showcases original models and props used in the making of the most iconic science fiction shows to appear on British TV, including Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Visitors can journey through the realms of time and space and get up-close to the props and models that helped bring these beloved series to life. All the exhibits on display are screen-used and some have never been on public display before.

Highlights of the exhibition Include:

  • Imperial and Supreme Daleks from Doctor Who
  • Marvin the Paranoid Android from the original 1981 BBC production of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
  • Starbug model spacecraft used in series 3 of the cult classic Red Dwarf

Also, featured are designs and behind-the-scenes materials that give an insight into the craftsmanship and imagination of the special effects artists who transport us to these alien worlds.

The exhibition runs from 24 May to 5 October 2025. Tickets can be bought here
