The Celestial Toyroom

A brief overview of the history of Doctor Who toys and related products, presented by Ayesha Antoine. Such toys include the first Daleks made during the initial run of the program and the massive impact they had along with Dalekmania. Other topics include other figures produced over the years such as with the Dapol toy line as well as a look at the modern action figures produced by toy company Character Options.

Directed by James Goss, The Celestial Toyroom leans on a strong ensemble — Ayesha Antoine, Richard Hollis, Jim Sangster — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2013.
