The BBC Plans To Distribute The Doctor Who 2016 Christmas Special In Theaters

The upcoming Doctor Who 2016 Christmas Special is set to play in American theaters for two days after it airs on the BBC.

Entitled “The Return of Doctor Mysterio”, the special is slated to see theatrical release on December 26th and 27th. This means that American Whovians will have a chance to see this very special episode of the science fiction series just a day after their British counterparts see it on their television screens:

The Doctor Who 2016 Christmas Special event will include the full 60-minute episode plus two exclusive bonus features, “A New Kind of Superhero,” which offers a special inside look at Doctor Who’s concept of a modern superhero, and a special “Christmas Doctor Who Extra,” which shows off the making of this year’s special, with appearances by stars Peter Capaldi and Matt Lucas as well as showrunner and executive producer Steven Moffat.

Join the Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, as he teams up with an investigative journalist, played by Charity Wakefield (Wolf Hall, The Player), and a superhero to save New York from a deadly alien threat. Written by Steven Moffat, the Doctor Who 2016 special stars Justin Chatwin (Orphan Black, Shameless) as Grant, along with Matt Lucas (Alice in Wonderland, Bridesmaids), Adetomiwa Edun (Lucifer, Bates Motel), Aleksandar Jovanovic and Logan Hoffman.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
