Liverpool Life Special treat for Doctor Who fans in the city. Sadly I'm working but I know someone will be interested so ...

CBBC brings The Sarah Jane Adventures to Liverpool this half term!

Exclusive screening of a brand new episode, featuring David Tennant as The Doctor. Plus a chance to meet stars from the series!

Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October, 10am-5pm, Liverpool ONE, FREE

Fans of CBBC's The Sarah Jane Adventures, made by the team behind Doctor Who, have the unique opportunity to see a free sneak preview of a special episode of the series at ODEON Liverpool ONE, starring David Tennant as the time-travelling Doctor.

Not only will children get to see an episode before anybody else in the country, they will see behind the scenes footage of the making of the series and take part in a question and answer session with stars Tommy Knight who plays Luke Smith and Daniel Anthony who plays Clyde Langer.

Alternatively children can drop in to Liverpool ONE shopping centre to take part in a range of free activities. Sarah Jane’s companions including a replica of the Xylok supercomputer Mr Smith, robot dog K-9 plus some of the monsters from the series will be making their debut in Liverpool.

A special green screen experience will allow children to bust monster moves in front of a Sarah Jane virtual screen.

Finally braver volunteers will be transformed into monsters in the alien face painting zone. There will be free giveaways for children taking part in the activities.

From Liverpool One, CBBC fans will defend Earth from extraterrestrial threats and alien invaders!

I'd be interested to know how busy this gets. With the mother series mostly off air for the duration, the publicity machine is ramped up behind SJA this year, especially with The Doctor's appearance. Please do report back if you manage to get there and let me know what happened.
