Fans of Doctor Who will be able to see the annual Christmas special before anyone else. This year’s episode will feature Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor for the last time.
Starting in Hartlepool and finishing just before the big day in Bradford, the Christmas tour will take in eight locations across northern England to spread a little festive fun throughout the region.
As well as a sneak peek of the hotly-anticipated episode, fans will also be able to pose for photos on the BBC’s red carpet and with props from the programmes.
The tickets will be available through a ballot which will be open from Thursday 23 November for 10 days via the BBC Shows and Tours website – click here to register.
Twice Upon a Time will see Capaldi joined by David Bradley who reprises his role as the First Doctor, while Pearl Mackie returns as companion Bill Potts and Mark Gatiss guest stars as the Captain.
Doctor Who fans will be able to enjoy a preview of the seasonal special, apart from the last few moments featuring Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker, which will be kept as a surprise until the BBC One broadcast on Christmas Day.
