perpugilliam:perpugilliam-blog:When we had finished making the show [The Daemons], as usual I kept an eye on the rubbish skips around the BBC, and when I saw a couple of scene hands about to dump the statue of Bok which had been sitting in the cavern set, I asked if I might have him. So it was that the statue ended up in my garden in Barnes as a sort of grotesque gnome. I don’t know what our friends made of it, and at least one unwelcome visitor to the garden — who had climbed over the back wall in search of items to procure — was seen leaving in a hurry, having been shocked to find an evil-looking gargoyle peering at him from under the bushes. Unfortunately, the statue was made from carved polystyrene and was not designed to withstand the rigors of the English weather and so, eventually, poor Bok literally melted and fell apart.— Jon Pertwee, I Am The Doctor -- source link
