The Doctor Who Bank Note with David Tennant on it

The Doctor Who Bank Note with David Tennant on it | Curator's Corner S6 Ep3

In the 2006 Doctor Who Christmas special 'The Runaway Bride' a LOT of money was needed to billow out of a cash machine. Normally, an art department would just knock up a relatively simple set of one-sided prop notes and be done with it... not the case with the Doctor Who art department.
In the 2020 Curator's Corner Christmas special 'The David Tenner: a Doctor Who Bank Note' a curator was needed to talk about a Christmas object. Normally, an in-house museum production team would just sit a curator down, and get them to talk about a Christmas object... not the case with the British Museum production team (or curator Henry Flynn for that matter).

It was always a toss-up between those two for me, lol (^-^) You didn't have to do any of this stuff, but this was such a joy of a video because you did all this work just to talk about a nice little prop. Just like they spent the time to put in some extra care & attention, it's very cool to see the Museum staffers put the extra time and care into this video.

Very valid question. With everything going on in this video, it didn't fit. Also Phil Collinson very much deserves his own video (particularly given he's note ISN'T on display) - so there will be a Curator's Corner+ (so mini-episode) just on this in a few days.
