Leicester Square Series 8 Exclusive Cinema Event
DOCTOR WHO SERIES 8 PREMIERE DEEP BREATH TO BE SCREENED IN CINEMAS ACROSS THE UK AND IRELAND
As part of BBC Worldwide’s global event celebrations to mark Peter Capaldi’s debut series of Doctor Who, UK fans will have the opportunity to see the first episode of Series 8 in cinemas in the UK and Ireland, as well as on BBC One, on 23rd August 2014.
To celebrate the launch of series 8, an exclusive cinema event will take place at London’s Odeon, Leicester Square on August 23rd with some very special guests in attendance. This one-off event will feature a ‘never seen before’ 5 minute video from an upcoming Doctor Who DVD release and a special 10 minute behind-the-scenes of episode 1 feature*, followed by a Q&A with the guest stars that will be streamed LIVE into participating Cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
A limited number of tickets for the Leicester Square Cinema Event will be available to the public and can be purchased from www.odeon.co.uk, on Friday 1st August at 10am. Cinema tickets for other participating cinemas will go on sale Friday 1st August from 11am. More information regarding cinemas screening the episode and showing the live stream of the Q&A from the Leicester Square Cinema Event will be made available from www.doctorwho.tv
This year’s screenings follow the huge success of the global cinema screenings for the show’s record-breaking 50th anniversary episode – The Day of the Doctor – in November 2013. In addition to the episode being simulcast on TV in 98 territories, fans were also able to enjoy the episode on the big screen in over 1500 cinemas around the world.
Stephen Davies, Director for Live Events, said “Following the tremendous success of the 50th anniversary screenings, this is another wonderful opportunities for fans to get together to celebrate another major milestone and enjoy the amazing opening episode of the Peter Capaldi era on the big screen”.

DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 4th, 2014 - 3:05pmUnbelievable it’s been exactly 1 year ago today that Peter Capaldi was announced by Zoe Ball as the new 12th Doctor on ‘Doctor Who Live : The Next Doctor’.
Oh how times flies, and right now, just 19 days to GO !! 😀

August 3rd, 2014 - 11:59amFrom what i gather its just a prequel that will appear on the series 8 dvd set. Don’t think it will be anything missing related. According to Fraser hines agent the good news he has hinted is not doctor who related.
Just a random guy passing by
August 2nd, 2014 - 4:24pmOnly in UK and Ireland? Not somewhere else?

August 2nd, 2014 - 5:25am“This one-off event will feature a ‘never seen before’ 5 minute video from an upcoming Doctor Who DVD release” Hopefully “The UNderwater Menace” or some missing episodes as Fraiser was hinting it on his twitter account.

August 1st, 2014 - 11:04amNah more likely for the 50th aniversary set or series 8 box set. Just cant see it being anything to do with underwater menace.

DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 31st, 2014 - 5:23pmDay of the Doctor was pretty much a movie about the Time War if you skip the whole Zygon part of the story.
Doctor Stu
July 31st, 2014 - 5:04pmWell I suppose after the 50th was shown in the cinemas this gives doctor who more opportunities to be shown on the big screen….I really hope this doesn’t lead to a doctor who movie
the only movie I think would work for doctor who would be a movie set in the time war as it guarantees lots of explosions death and action
Doyouhearthem?
July 31st, 2014 - 4:56pmThis must be a really special episode…
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 31st, 2014 - 4:47pmBet Tom, Peter, Colin, Sylvester, Paul, Chistopher, David and Matt are jealous of Peter Capaldi for getting his debut episode broadcast on TV and Cinema while there debuts was only shown on TV.
Peter Capaldi you lucky Scotsman 😀
