For the first time in Australia, fans will be able to see Doctor Who on the big screen for one night only in a world exclusive on March 14 at select South East Queensland Birch Carroll & Coyle and Event Cinemas as part of the 50th anniversary year celebrations.
Fans can experience The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon, a two-part story from Series 6 which introduced the newest monster created by series executive producer and showrunner Steven Moffat – the Silence.
‘Best dressed’ prizes at participating cinemas will be awarded for the Doctor Who fan with the most impressive costume, from Time Lords to Monsters.
"It’s an opportunity for fans to enjoy the programmes and participate in the whole experience in a way that they’ve not been able to before. We hope this will be the start of more BBC Worldwide cinema events with our partners Event Cinemas and Village Cinemas in Australia.” said Sharon Wilson, BBC Worldwide Australasia’s Head of Marketing for Global Brands.
Written by Steven Moffat and directed by Toby Haynes, the 90-minute screening stars Matt Smith (Eleventh Doctor), Karen Gillan (Amy Pond), Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams), Alex Kingston (River Song) and Mark Sheppard (Canton Everett Delaware III).
In The Impossible Astronaut, the Doctor, Amy and Rory receive a secret summons that leads them to the Oval Office in 1969. Enlisting the help of a former FBI agent and the irrepressible River Song, the Doctor promises to assist the President in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious Space Man.
In Day of the Moon, the Doctor is locked in the perfect prison. Amy, Rory and River Song are being hunted down by the FBI. But with the help of President Nixon and Neil Armstrong, the Doctor is able to mount a rebellion against an alien invasion dating back to the very beginnings of human civilisation.
