A new exhibition exploring the science behind Doctor Who is to visit several locations across the UK from May 2022, with an ambition to tour internationally.
Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder: Where Science meets Fiction aims to plunge fans of all ages into a scientific universe to explore the various ways in which science has played a part in the longest running science fiction show in the world.
The eight zones set within the educational exhibition cover a diverse selection of exciting scientific topics, while drawing in content pieces from the full canon of the TV show.
For example, visitors can journey through Cosmic Curiosities, while discovering more about the time traveling Police Box in the TARDIS Tech room, learning about the science behind time travel and whether it is really possible.
Following its work on the successful Doctor Who Experience in both London and Cardiff, Sarner International has worked closely with BBC Studios to design, create and produce the new experience.
Paula Al-Lach, BBC Studios events director, live entertainment said that the team were “delighted to be working with Sarner again, following their creation of the Doctor Who Experience. It is really exciting to explore Doctor Who from this perspective and have the opportunity to take the exhibition to fans globally.”
Ed Cookson, projects director at Sarner International, added: “We couldn’t be more thrilled with the opportunity to work with BBC Studios again. For almost 60 years Doctor Who has been exploring mind-bending scientific developments, and has also influenced a generation of scientists, engineers, and artists.
“The iconic characters, monsters, stories and settings of the television series provide a perfect guide through the wondrous worlds of space, time and life sciences.”
