Doctor Who Experience to relaunch with Peter Capaldi adventure

The Doctor Who Experience is to debut a new walkthrough adventure starring Peter Capaldi.

The Cardiff Bay attraction will close the current interactive walkthrough - which features Matt Smith - in the autumn.

The Experience will then reopen at a later date with a new adventure, expected to feature new Who lead Capaldi.

The new walkthrough is currently in the early planning stages, with an exact date for the revamp yet to be set, a BBC spokesperson told Digital Spy.

The Doctor Who Experience originally opened in London in February 2011 and moved to Cardiff in July 2012.

Planned to remain in Wales until at least 2017, the exhibition features costumes, props and sets from the popular BBC sci-fi series and also includes some interactive elements.

Channel 4 announces Marvel's Agents of SHIELD return date

Channel 4 has confirmed a return date for Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

The comic book drama - which has been on hiatus in the UK since December - will return on Friday, March 14 at 8pm.

Season one will resume with episode 11 - 'The Magical Place' - in which Coulson (Clark Gregg) learns the shocking truth about his resurrection.

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD has aired 13 episodes in the US - where it airs on ABC - with the 14th instalment set to air on Tuesday, March 4.

Series star Gregg recently defended the show's US ratings, which have declined since the pilot episode aired in September last year.

"If you look at how well our show is doing in those numbers, I'm quite encouraged, especially because we aren't Tony Stark and Thor," the actor said. "We're a bunch of new people and Agent Coulson, the supporting player from those [Marvel] films."
