Liverpool locals experienced a rare and unexpected sighting of a Doctor Who spaceship this evening (Wednesday 6^th October).

It was projected across George’s Pier Head, where lucky passersby had the opportunity to catch a sighting of the ship in the night sky.   

It’s no accident that the spacecraft has taken temporary residence in Liverpool city. The BBC can today reveal that it is the location where series thirteen will begin and where we first meet new character Dan Lewis (John Bishop), as he becomes embroiled in the Doctor’s adventures.

It’s coming. Be ready.

Transmission details for series thirteen of Doctor Who will be announced in due course. 

Doctor Who is a BBC Studios production for BBC One and a BBC America co-production. BBC Studios are the international distributors for Doctor Who.
