The screenings are organised by Sharmill Films, a company which specialises in event cinema across Australia. Previous screenings include the 2017 Christmas special Twice Upon a Time.

There will be additional footage featuring exclusive interviews with Jodie, new series showrunner Chris Chibnall and the first episode’s director Jamie Childs, who also directed Whittaker’s reveal as the new Doctor last year.
