The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular will be heading to the UK next year and a new trailer has been released to promote its arrival.

After critically acclaimed tours in Australia and New Zealand, the show will be taking to arenas across Britain in May 2015 to wow audiences with its celebration of the music and monsters of Doctor Who.

Presented by Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, tickets for all of the venues are now on sale here. Watch the trailer below.

It was the final curtain call on Series 8 of Doctor Who earlier tonight but it sounds like we’ll be reunited with the Doctor a lot sooner than expected!

The BBC has announced that there will once again be a Doctor Who presence during this year’s Children in Need, continuing the show’s long association with the charity which in the past has come in the form of exclusive trailers and original mini-adventures.

The details of this year’s “treat” are still to be confirmed.

It’s likely that it will be linked to next month’s Christmas Special, the first trailer for which was debuted after Death in Heaven. Children in Need will return to BBC One next Friday.

With Cybermen on the streets of London, old friends unite against old enemies and the Doctor takes to the air in a startling new role. Can the mighty UNIT contain Missy? As the Doctor faces his greatest challenge, sacrifices must be made before the day is won.

The Twelfth Doctor faced his greatest challenge yet tonight in the finale of his debut series.

After Dark Water’s momentous cliffhanger, the action showed no signs of slowing down as we dived head first into Series 8’s climactic adventure. In true Steven Moffat style, our heads were left racing before the opening titles had even rolled, and what followed was an epic and life changing battle which saw old alliances uniting against even older enemies…

As the Doctor took to the air in a startling new role, UNIT tried to contain Missy, and Clara Oswald and Danny Pink faced heartbreak as their destiny was determined. Grave sacrifices were made and the Doctor was left questioning his own loyalties in a dramatic showdown, but was Death in Heaven a worthy conclusion to this year’s series? Have the loose ends been tied up for you, or were you unsatisfied with Steven’s script? Rate and discuss below!

And that, Whovians, is that! As far as Series 8 goes, anyway… So. Is it Christmas Day yet!?

NOTE: This discussion will NOT be spoiler monitored so please do not read the comments if you haven’t seen Death in Heaven. You have been warned!

After an agonising week, the wait is almost over and we are now just hours away from this year’s Doctor Who finale. The question is… are you ready!?

Last week’s momentous cliffhanger let off an almighty bang in the stratosphere of the Doctor Who fandom and it seems like everyone has since been talking about the Earth-shattering revalation. Our Twitter feed has been inundated with your views, with @samcarver123 describing Missy’s true identity as “an amazing twist”, while @RossHitchin was full of praise for Michelle Gomez, who “stole the show”.

Not all of your reactions have been positive, however. According to @nusechris100, the storyline is a “desperate and stupid stunt”, one which @Simply_Lucy feels was “miserably predictable”. Whatever your opinions are, we’ll all be tuning in to Death in Heaven tonight with baited breath, as the Doctor faces his greatest challenge yet and old friends unite…

Your head will no doubt be all over the place as the credits roll after tonight’s adventure but fear not because we’ll be here from 9pm for you to post your initial reactions. It’s been a truly epic three months in the TARDIS, but all good things must come to an end…

On the eve of this year’s Doctor Who finale, we’re taking time to reflect on the last 11 weeks of timey-wimey adventure.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 3 months since the Twelfth Doctor made his official debut, in the feature-length Deep Breath which was also screened in cinemas.

Since then he’s taken us on an epic journey to the Moon and back, meeting new friends and enemies, and plenty of old ones, along the way. As always with Doctor Who, it feels like it’s over before it’s truly began…

The new series has been proof that time really does fly, but have you been having fun? As we await the inevitable shocks and surprises of Death in Heaven, we’d love to hear your highlights of the Twelfth Doctor’s debut series in the comments below. What have you loved? What was your favourite episode, and at which point did the Twelfth Doctor ‘arrive’ for you? Share your best bits right here and join the nostalgia on Twitter @WhovianNet.
