Behind the Sofa (exhibition)

Behind the Sofa (sometimes known as The Doctor Who Exhibition at MOMI) opened after the 3001 Space Adventure exhibit closed. It used many props that had appeared in various exhibitions in the past, but this was one of the largest exhibits thus far and certainly the largest at the time.

Overview
The exhibition included several props which had not been collected in one place before, sourced from previous exhibition such as the Doctor Who USA Tour and the 3001 Space Adventure exhibition. This was a large, expansive exhibition. It included a recreation of a 1960s living room, complete with a sofa and television.

Notable elements

 * Dalek and Davros' Emperor shell from TV: Remembrance of the Daleks were presented, along with large set pieces and backdrops to enhance their appearance.
 * There was also a "walk-in" Dalek. One could crouch within an original Dalek shell and manipulate the sucker and gun stick arms.
 * Cybermen from TV: Silver Nemesis were also presented against a backdrop.
 * A Krarg was on display. This was the first time the general public could see a Krarg, given it was from the unbroadcast story Shada.

Promotion

 * The launch of the exhibit was attended by Carole Ann Ford, Wendy Padbury, Bonnie Langford and Sophie Aldred. They were photographed cutting a Dalek cake made by Jane Asher.
 * T-shirts, badges and mugs were produced, promoting/merchandising the exhibtion.
