BBC Worldwide has announced details of an official Doctor Who Festival later this year.
The event will take place at ExCeL in London on 13-15 November and will be attended by Peter Capaldi (the Twelfth Doctor) and showrunner Steven Moffat.
Doctor Who Festival will allow fans to discover “the inspiration behind the Doctor’s recent adversaries, the imagination required to create whole new worlds and the ingenuity that goes into designing and making the beautiful backdrops that give Doctor Who its unique look.”
Highlights will include an array of backstage areas including theatre shows where fans can come up close and personal with key talent, a cosplayers showcase, Interactive Workshops where they can learn the television production process as well as the ultimate Doctor Who shopping village for collectors merchandise and photo opportunities.
Peter Capaldi commented: “If having the world’s favourite Time Lord back on screen every week isn’t enough for you (and it’s not for me) then the Doctor Who Festival in London is the place to be. I’ll be heading there in November to join the fun and if it’s anything like the 50th anniversary event, then prepare yourself for total Time Lord mania.”
Steven Moffat added: “I can’t believe we’re going to give away our secrets! This is the closest you could possibly get to finding out what happens on set and how this magical show is put together.”
