Doctor Who Series 8 Episode 1 to be Shown in Cinemas
Doctor Who Series 8 Episode 1 to be screened globally in cinemas
BBC Worldwide is delighted to announce that the first episode of Doctor Who Series 8 – Peter Capaldi’s debut season in the iconic role – will be screened in cinemas around the world from 23 August 2014.
This year’s screenings follow the success of the global cinema release of Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary episode The Day of the Doctor which was screened in over 1500 cinemas around the world, allowing fans to come together to watch the show like never before.
Doctor Who makes a spectacular return to the big screen in the feature-length premiere episode of Series 8; Deep Breath. Directed by acclaimed Director Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, A Field in England) and written by Lead Writer and Executive Producer Steven Moffat, the beginning of the Twelfth Doctor’s era stars Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, Jenna Coleman as his companion Clara Oswald and sees the return of fan favourites The Paternoster Gang – Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny Flint (Catrin Stewart) and Strax (Dan Starkey) – in a pulse-racing adventure through Victorian London.
Steven Moffat comments, “Last November the Doctor didn’t just conquer the world on television, he did it in the cinemas too. And like the show-off he is, he can’t resist another go – one taste of the silver screen is never enough. On August 23rd the new Doctor will begin his new adventures on BBC One and in cinemas all over the world. Movie-land beware – Capaldi is coming to get you!”
Doctor Who: Deep Breath will be screened in participating cinemas around the world from 23 August, 2014. More information will be released by BBC Worldwide and participating cinema chains over the coming weeks. For all of the latest information please visit www.doctorwho.tv

July 28th, 2014 - 10:47amTo be fair they didn’t film 75 minutes for the 50th more is to be shown hence the 50th box set. Rumour has it there is more to the War Doctor regenerating into the Ninth Doctor and I’m sure the Tom Baker scene may have more to it etc! Overall it would of been 86 minutes for the 50th!

July 27th, 2014 - 12:42pmI also watched the 50th anniversary in 3D. I liked it when he told us to check each others 3D glasses and when one side went black, he said that they are a ZYGON!

July 27th, 2014 - 12:39pmSame. I only watched the 50th anniversary cause i thought it would be a once in a life time experience. Also series 8 is meant to be like old who,with more creepy and murderous episodes for one of the episodes involves Jack The Ripper. Anyway it would be too scary and creepy to watch in the cinema
