Bolton cinema to show advanced screening of 'epic' two-part series finale

A cinema in Bolton will be showcasing the "epic" two-part finale of a beloved sci-fi series.

The current season of Doctor Who is set to end on June 22, with the final two episodes to be released.

The long-running sci-fi show recently changed the eponymous Doctor to Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa, with writer Russell T Davies returning to the series after his original stint in the mid to late 2000s.

Now, fans in Bolton will get a chance to see the finale on the big screen, with Vue Bolton set to screen it.

The cinema, which is based at Middlebrook Retail Park, will show the episode late on June 21, the day before it is to be shown on television.

It will be shown on two screens at once, between 11pm and 1.25am.
