With the Doctor Who 2014 BBC release date already set for Saturday, 23 August, it was announced today that some lucky fans will watch an early screening of ‘Deep Breath’ on Thursday, 7 August.

To mark the launch of the Doctor Who World Tour, a special red carpet premiere will be held at St David’s Hall in Cardiff’s city centre, to be attended by the shows stars and lead writer Steven Moffat.

So what’s the best thing about this special event? Tickets will be going on sale to members of the general public too. Potentially a great opportunity for fans of the Time Lord and Clara to get an early look at the feature-length first episode.

BBC Wales Director Rhodri Talfan Davies said: “Doctor Who is getting even bigger and even better – and it’s a real thrill that the show’s fans here in Wales will be the very first to see the new Doctor at this very special premiere screening. Doctor Who has been made in Wales for almost ten years – and we’re so proud of its worldwide success.”
