Overview
- BBC Studios confirmed a newly re-edited, feature-length version titled Doctor Who: The Satan Pit – Extended Cut will screen one night only on Doctor Who Day, 23 November 2026, with tickets going on sale at 9am on 25 September 2026.
- The film cut restores deleted material that was previously available only on DVD and inserts never-before-seen extended footage to change the original broadcast experience.
- Organizers plan showings on more than 1,000 cinema screens across the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand with CinemaLive handling international bookings and Fathom Entertainment selling U.S. tickets.
- Screenings will include an exclusive interview with director James Strong and present the original cast led by David Tennant and Billie Piper, alongside supporting actors from the 2006 two-parter.
- The event converts the two-part Season 2 story into a single theatrical presentation as part of Doctor Who Day, a move that leans on franchise nostalgia and could boost future TV-to-cinema special-event releases.
