Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

BBC Worldwide has announced that the Doctor Who Experience will be reopening its doors on October 24th, with a completely new adventure featuring the 12th Doctor.

As with the Matt Smith version, the Doctor will interact with audiences. A newly scripted storyline – written by Joseph Lidster (Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures) and directed by Paul Wilmshurst (Doctor Who, Da Vinci’s Demons) – allows fans to star in their very own mini episode of Doctor Who, beginning in the Gallifrey Museum and journeying to the heart of the TARDIS, while grappling with a threat which could destroy the universe. As can be heard on the teaser trailer below, the voice from the Museum sounds very familiar… particularly to those who know their Gallifrey history from the books and audios… Could Lalla Ward be reprising the role of President Romana?

From 24 October to 30 November, the studio set visits to Roath Lock Studios will also be available for fans to purchase as an extra. During this time, around 6000 fans will be able to visit the enclosed Doctor Who set, and set foot on the TARDIS featured in the past two series and the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor.

Stephen Davies, Director of Live Events and Entertainment at BBC Worldwide says, “As with all of the best Doctor Who adventures, we’ve undergone our very own regeneration down at the Doctor Who Experience and we’re sure Doctor Who fans will be thrilled to take part in a brand new adventure with the Twelfth Doctor.”
