In the week that the Commonwealth Games started, Doctor Who fans can also strike gold, as a spectacular stage show starts which brings to life Murray Gold's amazing score.
Doctor Who website had an exclusive first preview of 'Doctor Who Live' in rehearsal in London. And we need to warn you - it is really scary!
In a story developed by Steven Moffat, and co-written by Gareth Roberts and Will Brenton, we encounter Vorgenson - played by Nigel Planer. An amazing intergalactic showman who tells the Doctor, "I'm your biggest fan". We liked the clever plot - Vorgenson has collected the most dangerous monsters in the universe and imprisoned them in his Minimiser - a device very much out of classic Doctor Who story.
'Nihil Possum Fortassis Vado Pecco' is Vorgenson's Motto .... Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong. Yet the Doctor warns that if something looks too good to be true then it probably is...
Matt Smith has filmed special scenes as the Doctor (he does not appear live - we wish he did but he does have to film a new series), and if you do go - he needs your help. Oh and he has a piece of advice - whatever you do, don't blink.
There are a host of monsters appearing including Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Judoon, Silurian, Smilers, Winders, Scarecrows, Vampires, Clockwork Robots and Ood. You might want to hold Mum or Dads hand in case they get scared. There are lots of loud bangs and flashes.
There are plenty of surprises - and a few familiar faces in unusual places - was that Nick (voice of the Daleks) Briggs leading a crack squad of police commandos? The 'rock' style band is conducted, with flair, by Ben Foster. There is also a big screen showing spectacular montage sequences from the television programme timed to your favourite Doctor Who themes.
We won't give away the ending but it wouldn't be Doctor Who without a battle with the deadliest enemy of them all, the Daleks.
The tour will travel the length and breadth of the UK - starting tonight at Wembley Arena and on to Sheffield, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, Belfast ending Sunday 7th November.
