Australian Whovians get a special gift this Christmas with an event screening of this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, Twice Upon a Time.

The epic finale to the Peter Capaldi era of Doctor Who will be coming to Australian cinemas on Boxing Day, featuring the return of Pearl Mackie, and starring special guests Mark Gatiss and David Bradley.

The episode will also introduce the Thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker, who is the first woman to take on the role.

The cinema event will also feature two exclusive bonus pieces, taking audiences behind the scenes to the filming of this holiday special and celebrating the tenures of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor and Steven Moffat as showrunner and lead writer.

Fans throughout Australia will be able to enjoy the event in select cinemas through Sharmill Films. Information on participating cinemas and purchasing tickets can be found here.
