There’s a demonstrable and understandable bias towards post-2005 adventures, with a huge chunk of the fiends and foes faced by the ninth, tenth and eleventh Doctors on display, but fans of the original series shouldn’t be at all disappointed.

One exhibit documents the transition Cybermen heads have undergone since starting off as essentially a terrifying pair of grey tights, while another shows the similar evolution of the Dalek race. There’s not one, but three iterations of the TARDIS console. You’ll see Ood, Scarecrow and Pig Slave as well as Zygon, Ice Warrior and Sontaran, a host of sonic screwdrivers, K1, K9 and iconic costumes from each regeneration of the Doctor, as well as a pair of genuinely tiny Amy Pond shorts.

Family-friendly activities are dotted around the exhibition. Learn to walk like a scarecrow from The Family Of Blood, pose for a green screen photo inside the Pandorica, fiddle about with the theme tune and see what you’d sound like as a Cyberman. There’s even a Dalek you can get inside and wiggle its whisk bit around, which I duly did until being ousted by a small child demanding his own go.

The shop is pretty overwhelming, depending on how you feel about merchandise. If you’re the sort of person who squeals at rows of foam Cybermen masks and cardboard cut-outs of weeping angels, then you’ll be in Doctor heaven, which is essentially what the whole experience is aiming for, and what it probably will be for many.

Tireless attendees of previous exhibitions may well have already seen much of what’s on display, but overall, it’s a fabulous, well presented collection that will please aficionados and thrill younger fans. Some might ask for a little more behind-the-scenes stuff to be revealed, but surely the Confidential series more than caters to that need. Write-ups calling it a theme park are overstating the case and doing a disservice to what is essentially a solid exhibition served up with a little bit of fantasy.
