NOW ON THE BIG SCREEN – IN COLOUR! (AGAIN)

NOW ON THE BIG SCREEN – IN COLOUR! (AGAIN)

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) - Backdrops — The Movie ...

At the moment you can already enjoy Doctor Who on TV and on the BBC Sounds app – but this summer, you’ll also be able to enjoy it on the big screen. Well, sort of.

You see, it’s not Doctor Who coming to the multiplex but ‘Dr. Who’ – aka the two ‘Daleks’ movies starring Peter Cushing that were created as big-screen remakes of the BBC sci-fi series in the 1960s (and which made a few changes to the original William Hartnell-starring TV stories).

Now, nearly 60 years after they were first released in 1965 and 1966, Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. will be back in cinemas.

Remastered and restored in full 4K, they’ll be released theatrically in the UK from 10th July 2022 together with an exciting new trailer for the films, showing off the restoration and sure to intrigue a new generation of fans.

The Cushing movies are to date the only big-screen outing for a Doctor Who adventure (barring a few screenings of the 50th anniversary special in 2013), and this release will give Whovians another chance to see them as they were originally intended.

However, a home release option is also planned to give viewers a chance to watch at home.

According to StudioCanal, both films will be released on 4K UHD Collector’s Editions, steelbooks and digital platforms, with Dr. Who and the Daleks releasing first on 20th June followed by Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. on the 18th July.

The DVD releases will include booklets with a brand new essay, a 32-page Titan mini-book, two new posters and behind-the-scenes features including audio commentaries from cast and Doctor Who experts (including Mark Gatiss, Rob Shearman, Kim Newman, Bernard Cribbins and Gareth Owen) and new featurettes including The Dalek Legacy and Restoring Dr. Who in 4K among others.

In other words, even as the main Doctor Who series is winding down and less regularly on TV ahead of Jodie Whittaker’s regeneration, there’ll be plenty for fans to enjoy in the wider Whoniverse throughout 2022. Hip hip, Who-ray!

Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. return to UK cinemas on 10th July 2022.

Ace (Sophie Aldred) - Quotes & Bio | Doctor Who

As part of a touring art installation of the Earth’s surface, a legendary figure in the world of Doctor Who will be coming to Lincoln for a talk about their career in the backdrop of our wonderful planet.

Sophie Aldred, 59, is a famous children’s television presenter who is most recognisable for her role as Ace, the companion of the seventh Doctor Who, played by Sylvester McCoy in the late 1980s.

She will be coming to Lincoln to visit the Collection Museum on Friday, March 18 for an event that runs alongside the ‘Gaia’ installation, a breath-taking art project by Luke Jerram that is a six metre sphere showing the Earth’s surface.

Gaia installation returns to the Old Royal Naval College ...

It uses detailed NASA imagery with each centimetre of the installation representing 21km of our planet, and arrived at The Collection Museum on March 5. It will run until Sunday, May 29 with a full list of events.

At An Evening with Sophie Aldred, the actress will be sharing insights into her career with a unique opportunity for visitors to have their photograph taken with Sophie in front of the ‘Gaia’ installation, as well as having time for autographs.

The event begins at 6pm and the talk behind at 7pm, with the Muse Coffee Bar open during the evening for refreshments. Tickets cost £10 and are available from the Collection Museum website.

Paul Mason, visitor experience manager at The Collection Museum, said:

“We’ve developed a full programme of events around the ‘Gaia’ exhibition to help visitors really make the most out of this amazing installation.

“The huge 6m Earth provides a perfect backdrop for Sophie to talk about her fictional travels through space and time!”

Doctor Who: Time Fracture returns after bouncing back from flood damage

Doctor Who: Time Fracture returns after bouncing back from flood damage

The immersive experience will reopen its doors on Friday 26th November.

Molly Walker as a Time Lord Guide in Doctor Who: Time Fracture (BBC)

Doctor Who: Time Fracture is set to reopen its doors later this month – with repairs having been made following flood damage earlier in the year.

The immersive experience was forced to close in July when heavy flooding hit the Mayfair building where it is located, leading to extensive damage.

But now various measures have been put in place – including the installation of a flood defence system – that will allow Whovians to visit the exhibit once again.

The repairs themselves had been affected by further flooding when rainstorms in September and October led to severe setbacks, but the work is now complete and the adventure will open again from Friday 26th November.

Several new cast members will also join the Unit HQ team for the reopening – with the new faces including Amber Blease, Myles Devonte, Harrie Dobby, Barry McStay, Khadija Sallet, Megan Shandley, Patrick Strain, Tom Telford and Simon Victor.

To celebrate the good news, a four-minute featurette has been released that gives fans a glimpse into some of the worlds experienced in the exhibit, offering a whirlwind tour of Unit HQ – check it out below:

Doctor Who: Time Fracture originally opened in May this year, promising to put “fans at the heart of the story, plunged into a journey across space and time”.

The show features pre-filmed cameo appearances from a number of Doctor Who stars and alumni, including Doctors Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Jo Martin and Jodie Whittaker and companions such as Jemma Redgrave as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Jon Culshaw as the Brigadier and Alex Kingston as River Song

Doctor Who: Time Fracture runs until April 2022 and tickets are on sale now.

The most-watched episode of Doctor Who ever, which had over 16 million viewers when first shown in 1979 is coming to the big screen in December.

The reason that City of Death is the most-watched episode isn’t because it was co-written by Douglas Adams, or that it stars Julian Glover, nor that it was filmed in Paris — but simply that ITV was on strike at the time, and with the Saturday evening alternative being a choice of a community activity show on BBC2 or Doctor Who on BBC1, it’s not a surprise that Doctor Who won.

The story, City of Death was set in 1970s Paris and is one of those legendary Doctor Who stories, that was at the time panned by critics and Doctor Who fans for its comedy aspect, and has since become a firm favourite.

It was reputedly a very difficult story to film, being done in Paris and seemingly no one checked for French bank holidays meaning they arrived when a lot of filming locations were closed for the holiday. Tom Baker was also surprised to be left alone when in the UK he was more used to being followed around by fans. John Cleese also agreed to a cameo in the show along with Eleanor Bron, as he was filming in the BBC on the same day as they would shoot an indoor scene they needed an extra actor for.

The story was not well received at the time, especially amongst the Doctor Who fans, who are never shy at expressing their opinion about the show, criticising the light-hearted tone of the story. More recently that’s become its main appeal, along with a fairly decent plot.

Tickets to see the show on the big screen will go on sale on the BFI website at 11:30am on Thursday 4th November.

Tickets £15, concessions £12 (Members pay £2 less), restricted to two per booker.

Doctor Who: The Collection – Season 17 is released on Blu-ray soon.
