Woman Sets Guinness World Record by Amassing Vast Collection of Doctor Who Memorabilia

Lily Connors, a 19-year-old from Swansea, holds the Guinness World Record for having the largest collection of Doctor Who memorabilia. She started collecting at the age of eight and now has over 6,641 official BBC merchandise items, although her full collection exceeds 10,000 pieces. Lily collects items from various sources such as shops, online platforms, and car boot sales. Her collection includes full-size Daleks, a Cyberman, a K9 robot, and a life-size female clockwork droid. Her favorite item is a wardrobe made to look like a Tardis, which was custom-built by her dad. Lily has even been behind the scenes of the show and received a call from Peter Capaldi to thank her headmaster for giving her a day off to witness the filming. She is extremely passionate about Doctor Who and hopes to one day be an extra on the show. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the show, Lily plans to watch the new episode with her family.
