The Cardiff Business Council will use a special screening of Dr Who to encourage more creative industry firms in the US to invest in Wales

A special screening of Doctor Who in New York later today is being used as part of efforts this week to attract more creative industry investment from North America into Wales.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts in Wales, BAFTA Cymru, will host a special Doctor Who screening event in New York to celebrate 10 years since the critically-acclaimed Doctor Who franchise was revived and went into production at BBC Wales.

The event, hosted in partnership with BAFTA New York, Cardiff Business Council and BBC America, will offer 220 industry guests a big-screen showing of recent episode Listen, starring Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with showrunner and writer Steven Moffat, and will be preceded by a Penderyn Whisky and Welsh Cheese and Wine reception.
