The Doctor Who Experience launches

The highly-anticipated Doctor Who Experience, an interactive exhibition which has special effects and newly-filmed scenes starring Matt Smith as The Doctor, along with original costumes and props used in the programme, has launched in London today.

The exhibition has a replica of the current TARDIS interior, along with a range of props and monsters from the past 47 years of Doctor Who including Daleks, Sontarans, a Tom Baker-era Tardis and Cybermen, Silurians and a Zygon.

Steven Moffat, Executive Producer for Doctor Who comments: “The Doctor Who Experience is a fan’s dream come true – a fully interactive adventure that will allow viewers of the show to get as close as possible to some of the scariest monsters from the series. It will also be the first time that Doctor Who artefacts from all the show’s 47 year history – classic and new – will be on display together, many of them being seen for the first time. And never mind that, this is the day the Doctor teaches you how to fly the TARDIS through time and space, and takes you into battle with all his deadliest enemies in a brand new adventure. So steady your nerves and bring your own sofa – the Doctor needs you!”

The exhibition is currently based at London's Olympia, before moving to a long-term home in Cardiff in 2012.
