By Leah Tedesco
A compilation of various recent Doctor Who news from around the internet for February 15th, 2016
Looking for stuff to do while you wait for Series Ten of Doctor Who?
More Doctor Who fun is coming to Cardiff! Firstly, the Doctor Who Experience is adding new exhibits from every episode of Series Nine, including the most recent Christmas special, ‘The Husbands of River Song.’
More from Doctor Who
- Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor Who Christmas special is a “complete reinvention”
- Ncuti Gatwa is “so nervous” to take on Doctor Who role
- The Doctor and Donna are better than ever in “Wild Blue Yonder”
- Take the Black: House of the Dragon season 2 trailer hints, the Fallout show, and more
- Jodie Whittaker didn’t pick up on any of the hate for her version of the Doctor
The Doctor Who Experience traditionally begins with an interactive video which is regularly updated along with the rest of the exhibition. Guests then make their way into the exhibition hall where they can view displays of a variety of sets, props, costumes, and characters. Of course, they will be showing the Doctor’s new sonic screwdriver.
The other exciting new addition is the TARDIS Studio Set Tours at BBC Cymru. According to the website:
"TARDIS Studio Set Tour tickets will be going on sale midday on Tuesday 16th February 2016. Tours will be running from Saturday 20th February through to Sunday 6th March 2016."
If you are living in… oh, say Idaho, for example, chances are that you will not be able to attend the Doctor Who Experience, at least any time soon. Folks in and around Buhl, Idaho who are looking for a local Doctor Who related event this week, however, are in luck! According to an article from magicvalley.com, the Buhl Public Library will be hosting a free Doctor Who gathering on Thursday, February 18, 2016 from 7 to 9 p.m.
"There will be snacks, crafts and games — so be up on your Doctor trivia companion trivia — and who’s who. There will also be cardboard figures of three recent doctors and K-9 for photos, prizes and a chance to interact with other “Doctor Who” enthusiasts."
If you do not feel like dealing with crowds, either large or small, you could always binge on some Big Finish audio. But be aware that many of their special offers will no longer be available after noon on February 16th, 2016. According to their website:
"In celebration of Gallifrey One 27 (hosted this upcoming weekend in Los Angeles) Big Finish is pleased to announce the return of one of its most popular special offers; with titles 51 to 100 from the Doctor Who Main Range available for just £5 each . . .But it’s not just the past you can save on – as for the third and final time, we’re offering our Doctor Who Super Subscription – allowing you to pre-order 42 of the Doctor’s upcoming Main Range adventures, covering titles all the way to 2020![Y]ou can purchase the Doctor Who Super Subscription for just £350 on CD or £325 to download, a saving of £200 against buying individually.
