What makes a convention? Is it the signings, cosplay or the social aspect. In this documentary we will take a look into all those subjects. We also talk to some convention organisers to see why the decided to make a convention. We touch on conventions coming out of lockdown and how they will change.

‘Go Figure: More Than A Toy Story’ is a 50-minute documentary produced by Connor Allen, exploring the impact of the Character Options toy range on a generation of fans who grew up watching Doctor Who after the 2005 revival. While fans of the classic years had DAPOL & Denys Fisher to keep them happy, Millennial and Gen-Z viewers see the CO range as the gateway to their own nostalgia. Available only on a VAM alongside the hardback edition of 'Go Figure!', a visual archive of the CO figures, this documentary features reminiscences from numerous fans & Doctor Who contributors. Including, Katy Manning (Jo Grant), Simon Fisher-Becker (Dorium Maldovar), Gary Russell (Script Editor), Joseph Lidster (Writer), and Kieran Highman (Colourisation Artist).
