The Official Doctor Who Festival has announced more details about the three-day event, with Mark Gatiss the latest name added to the lineup.

The writer has penned seven episodes of the revived series – and also played Professor Lazarus in 2007’s ‘The Lazarus Experiment’.

He will join the previously announced Peter Capaldi and showrunner Steven Moffat as well as Michelle Gomez and Ingrid Oliver, who will be available for pictures at the event.

There will be a full series nine writers’ panel, with the likes of Moffat, Gatiss, Toby Whithouse and Sarah Dollard discussing the latest series.
Two sets from series nine will also be on open display, and the set of Clara’s living room will be available to ticket holders for photo opportunities.

Fans can also get an insight into the show’s visual effects, with live demonstrations from Real SFX and Millennium FX, take a drama class led by one of the show’s directors, and take part in a cosplay competition.

The event will take place at the ExCeL in London on November 13-15, with ticket information available on its website.
Doctor Who returns on September 19 on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.
