When the Toymaker's domain manifested in 1925 Soho, its entrance took the form of a toyshop called Mr Emporium. The Toymaker played the role of a storeowner within this shop.
It was located next to Grades Gents Hairdressers. Its exterior had a metalwork sign of Joey the Clown's face.
Its interior had many toys, including Stooky Bill, Stooky Sue, and the Stooky Babbies. On a shelf behind the counter was a toy block resembling the Pandorica. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
A hobby horse from this store was in the Remembered TARDIS. (TV: Earthshock [+]Loading...["Earthshock (TotT TV story)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit]]
- Graphic designer Sophie Cowdrey created several props for Mr Emporium whose details were not seen on screen. This included toy boxes with the Toymaker's robot and the Queen of Hearts, alphabet blocks decorated with animals and monsters including peg dolls, the Solitract, a Pting, the Quantum Shade, a pig whose face resembled a pig slave, and some Adipose, a miniature model of the Toymaker's stage from elsewhere in The Giggle, and paper dolls resembling Amy Pond and Rory Williams.[1]
