DOCTOR WHO SUPERFAN AIMS FOR GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
Teenager Ianto Williams has amassed an astonishing array of items connected to the hit BBC sci-fi show.
A schoolboy is up for an out-of-this-world record – by having the biggest Doctor Who collection in all of time and space.
Timelord superfan Ianto Williams, 14, aims to exterminate other collectors with his 2,130-piece Doctor Who collection.
The teenage collector beat the previous record of 2,021 themed items after becoming obsessed with the TV show aged six – and is due to go in the Guinness World Record books.
The youngster, from the village of Maes-y-Bont in Carmarthenshire, said: “I can’t believe it – I am over the moon!
“I started collecting because I really liked the TV show.
“My favourite item is a multi-signed poster which some of the actors from the programme have signed.
“I’ve got a letter and photo from Peter Capaldi, the current Doctor Who. But most of the collection is a mix of different items, DVDs, books, autographs and toys.”The world-record achievement was checked by an independent adjudicator after they verified all the items in a 62-page inventory.
A Guinness World Record book spokesman confirmed they were considering his shot at the record.
Megafan Ianto has said he doesn’t know how many thousand of pounds he has spent on his world-record stash.
He said: “I would rather not know – I dread to think!”
