The world's only "experience theater on wheels" continues its coast-to-coast journey across the United States when it arrives in Northeastern Pennsylvania at the Viewmont Mall on June 26 and 27. The exhibition will be open to the public from noon to 8 p.m. daily.
This sophisticated mobile exhibition has been built by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in support of its television phenomenon "Doctor Who," which is seen on over 180 PBS television stations throughout the country Locally the program is aired on WVIA-TV, Channel 44.
The 23-year-old program is the longest running science fiction show in television history and is the most successful British TV export ever, being seen by over 110 million viewers in approximately 60 countries worldwide.
The BBC decided to create this animated road show featuring all the famous monsters and villains once the program gripped the imagination of American audiences.
The characters are housed in a 48-foot trailer. Set behind reinforced mirrored glass, the figures are brought to life through various lighting and sound special effects along with animation.
Visitors enter the exhibition by walking through a TARDIS -- the Doctor's time traveling craft shaped like an old English police call box.
