BBC Worldwide have launched a website dedicated to their forthcoming Doctor Who Live stage tour.

Developed in association with Doctor Who’s Executive Producer and show runner, Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Live promises the same excitement, adventure and suspense that viewers have come to expect from the TV programme and will feature specially filmed new video scenes.

Opening in wartime London and concluding in an epic onstage battle, audiences should expect the unexpected as the The Doctor’s arch-enemies the Daleks are joined by some of the best-loved and most terrifying monsters from the TV series including the Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Judoon and Oods to name but a few.

With an out-of-this-world set, Doctor Who Live will feature special FX, optical illusions and spectacular pyrotechnics building to an epic finale. Specially edited video clips, drawn from the TV Programme will be shown on a massive screen and accompanied by the music of longtime Doctor Who composer Murray Gold. These iconic scores will be brought to life by a 16 piece orchestra live on stage.

Actors from the TV series will not be appearing live on stage.

Matt Smith (the Doctor) and Karen Gillan (Amy Pond, his new companion) bring the Time Lord back to the Proms for two performances of a family-friendly spectacular with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, who record all the soundtracks for the series.

Intergalactic music includes Murray Gold's music from the TV series, plus a selection of classical favourites (24 and 25 July).
