Dr Who sells out
07/11/2006 . Source: Jessica Martin 
A one-off event in Cardiff in aid of BBC Children in Need on 19th November 2006 - featuring BBC Wales' drama Doctor Who and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales - has sold out in record time. All the tickets for the concert at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff sold out within just two hours of going on sale. Buy Dr Who in the USA - or Buy Dr Who in the UK  The event will feature the BBC National Orchestra of Wales performing selections of Murray Gold's celebrated incidental score, accompanied by a host of stunning visuals from the most recent series of Doctor Who.
The audience can also expect live appearances from some of The Doctor's greatest enemies, including the infamous Daleks and the villainous Cybermen.
David Tennant, who plays the time-travelling Doctor, has confirmed that he will be on hand to take part in a question and answer session alongside Doctor Who writer and Executive Producer, Russell T Davies and Murray Gold. Ticketless Doctor Who fans need not miss out because the concert will be recorded by BBC Radio Wales, to be aired at a later date.
It will also be filmed by Doctor Who Confidential for a special documentary to be shown on network television later in the year.
Russell T Davies told SFcrowsnest, "We are delighted to join forces with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in aid of Children in Need. The evening promises to be an audio-visual spectacular. I can't wait to hear Murray Gold's extraordinary scores live on stage."
Doctor Who is made by BBC Wales and the majority of scenes are filmed in South Wales. The Wales Millennium Centre itself has featured in two episodes: Boom Town - an episode in the first series based in modern Cardiff - and, in the second series, where the building doubled as a futuristic hospital on the planet New Earth. The ticket prices included a donation to Children in Need and the proceeds from the official programme will also go to the Children in Need Appeal.
