Summary

Two Doctor Who collectors try to outdo each other by showing off their rarest items. The tall, curly-haired collector begins by showing off his two one-of-a-kind John and Gillian Funko Pop figures. The short, bespectacled collector scoffs, as he shows off his recently purchased rare, unopened (and rotting) box of Sugery Smackers from 1971 with the Third Doctor on the packet. The tall fan one-up's him further, by presenting a bus ticket that belonged to a a friend of William Hartnell's milkman. But the short collector manages to top them all, as shows off the actual policeman that featured in the first scene of An Unearthly Child. The tall collector bows down in amazement, exclaiming "We are not worthy!"
