Madame Tussauds

The waxworks of historical figures at Madame Tussauds

Madame Tussauds was a building in London, famous for its waxwork mannequins. Auto Plastics made a selection of plastic replicas that included John F. Kennedy and Mohandas Gandhi and many other historical figures. The plastic models were in fact Auton replicas that came to life at the Nestene Consciousness' bidding. Scobie was placed among the plastic models while his replica took his place. He awoke from his trance when the replica was destroyed. (TV: Spearhead from Space)

During a tour of London, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams visited Madame Tussauds, where they got thrown out when the Doctor drew on the waxwork of Guy Fawkes. (PROSE: Magic of the Angels)
