Doctor Who: The Satan Pit - Extended Movie Cut

Doctor Who is coming to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Monday 23 November, with a screening that's a bit different from your usual cinema trip. It's the extended movie cut of The Satan Pit, and it's being shown to mark 20 years of the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler.

If you remember the story, it was originally a two-part adventure — The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit — that aired back-to-back. For this screening, those two episodes have been re-edited into a single movie-length presentation, created exclusively for theatrical audiences. It's the first time the story has ever been shown in cinemas like this, so it's a bit of a one-off rather than a standard re-run.

The plot takes the Doctor and Rose to Sanctuary Base 6, a remote outpost on a planet orbiting a black hole. It's a claustrophobic setup: the crew is trapped, and an ancient force awakens beneath the surface, leaving them in a battle against an evil older than time itself. It's a proper high-concept piece of sci-fi, and seeing it on a big screen gives the scale of the black hole and the subterranean horror a lot more room to breathe than it ever had on a living room telly.

The session runs for one hour and 59 minutes, so it's just under two hours from start to finish, and it carries a 12A certificate. Tickets are £15, and it kicks off at 7pm on Monday 23 November at the Main Auditorium.
