For anyone who is interested, I bought my set from B&M for £12.99 and the set has 2 Doctor characters, one being a semi transparent 'Hologram' which could be repainted for normal use or 'as is' for a ghost train! The third character is Rose Tyler, not quite so useful but I'll find her something to do.
