Explained simply
Doctor Who is a long-running British science-fiction series about the Doctor, an alien who travels through time and space in a ship called the TARDIS. The Doctor can change appearance, so different actors have played the character over the programme’s history.
David Tennant played the Tenth Doctor, with Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, his travelling companion, from 2005 to 2010. The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit are a two-part story from their time together, set on a human base near a mysterious black hole.
The episodes are part of a period that introduced many viewers to Doctor Who after the show returned in 2005. A cinema presentation gives audiences a chance to see the television story in a shared, big-screen setting.
