A double dose of the doctor! Two classic Dr. Who adventures return in new 4K restorations.
Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) were the first time the good Doctor was ever seen in colour and on the big screen.
The films, directed by Gordon Flemyng, remain the doctor’s only cinematic outings, and feature the legendary Peter Cushing as everyone’s favourite timelord alongside a supporting cast that includes Roy Castle, Bernard Cribbins, Jennie Linden and Roberta Tovey.
This event will include a 10-minute intermission between the features.
