THE ULTIMATE DR WHO PRIZE Sold for £10,500 Doctor Who has been the TV hit of the year - now here's your chance to see inside the Tardis and watch filming on set.
The Doctor Who producers are offering a very, very rare opportunity for two people to watch filming on the new series. When it was broadcast earlier in the year the first series won critical-plaudits and introduced the Doctor, and his arch-enemies, including the Daleks, to a whole new generation. Now heart-throb actor David Tennant has regenerated into the new doctor for the new series.
Filming of the series is usually top secret, but you'll get the chance to head off to a secret location in South Wales around Saint David's Day at the beginning of March. The production team will give you a behind the scenes look into the making of the latest series and you may even get the chance to meet with the busy Doctor, and his assistant Rose, played by Billie Piper - depending, of course, on schedule commitments.
You'll be put up at the five-star Celtic Manor Resort in the beautiful Usk Valley in South Wales, which has a Spa and world-class golf course and you'll get an insider's look at the new series - which promises a line-up of monsters new and old. At the end of your exclusive set-visit, you'll leave with goody bag full of Doctor Who stuff, including specially-produced story board art.
But, bear in mind, that the Doctor Who filming schedule changes daily, so you may need to be a little flexible on dates!
GO TO ASCENSION ISLAND! Sold for £20,000 Here's your chance to go on a unique trip to a fascinating island - it's literally the chance of a lifetime.
Ascension Island in the South Atlantic is a tiny volcanic outcrop. It sits right on the equator, halfway between Africa and Brazil, so it's 80 degrees hot most days of the year, and it never rains.
The island is used as a staging post for the Falklands and the RAF still operate an airbridge from the UK to Wideawake Airfield. The BBC's Atlantic Relay station is there and the US Air force, Cable and Wireless and the Ariane tracking station are all on the island. A visit to Ascension is unique because you need the express permission of the Island Administrator, there's no indigenous population, and he's granted our two winners special access and has arranged flights.
Johnny Hobson, the island dentist, is going to put you up for five days at his Obsidian hotel and will act as your personal guide. He's arranging some golf on the famous One Boat lava golf course, with its tricky "browns" - not "greens" - because there's no grass, and no vegetation!
You'll be given a tour of the island, and you'll be able to go giant green turtle spotting on the beach at midnight - and, if you're lucky, you may see them laying eggs right in front of you. You'll be able to go deep-sea fishing, take tea at the Residency with the island administrator, swimming in the warmth of English Bay, and you'll have your pick of the 32 pristine white beaches. And no doubt several duty-free drinks.
Ascension Island is one of the world's best kept secrets, and this is your chance for a privileged visit to a unique and mysterious island.

JOIN THE CREW OF A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE! Sold for £13,500 Ever wanted to feel what it's like to be part of the crew on a nuclear submarine, 20,000 fathoms under the sea? Now you can.
You and a mate will spend the day with the crew of the HMS Torbay, a hunter-killer submarine, where you will get a tour of the entire vessel - except the nuclear room!
Designed and launched during the Cold War, HMS Torbay is optimised for patrolling alone in the depth of the North Atlantic, and is capable of continuous high-speeds for long periods. She can deploy anywhere in the world undetected. Powerful Spearfish torpedoes and Sub-Harpoon long-range anti-ship missiles make the Torbay a deadly asset to the Royal Navy.
You'll be shown around the hi-tech sonar system and the sophisticated combat system. You won't be able to fire a torpedo but you'll be able to fire a powerful watershot and, of course, you'll sit in the pilot's seat and peer through the periscope - just like in every submarine movie you've ever seen - and eat with the Commanding Officer, Commander Chris Groves and his officers.
The visit will take place on a mutually convenient date next year. You'll sail from Plymouth and a souvenir photographic record of your day will be provided by the crew. But to go on the submarine you'll have to be at least 12-year-old and able-bodied. And, of course, due to the sensitive military aspect of this prize, you and your companions will have to go through stringent security checks or we'll have to give you the boot!
