Doctor Who-themed shed

The Shed of the Year contest had a number of worthy entries in 2017, but Paul Foden got my vote just before voting closed. SWNS TV took a tour.

Paul Foden, 44, is obsessed with the Time Lord and has previous made models of a Dalek and the robotic dog K9. But his latest project is the biggest of all after he decided to re-create the hit sci-fi show's famous blue time machine. Handyman Paul spent almost 12 months working on the 12ft (3.6m) tall Tardis which now has pride of place in his back garden. Yesterday (Mon) he said: "I've been working on it for nearly a year and I'm just adding the last few details. "I watch Doctor Who and I thought the Tardis would be interesting to build so I decided to have a go.

The exterior is especially lovely.
