Edinburgh is set to see a very well-known blue police box appear in the city as a huge Doctor Who exhibition makes its way north.
With thousands having the time-lord as a a huge part of their childhood, curators at the National Museum of Scotland have announced the event will arrive in December, 2022.
Running for almost five months from December 10 until May 1, 2023, the set up will include some iconic features of the show, from a TARDIS tech room to a 'monster vault', featuring some well-known villains.

Set up on Chamber Street, the event will also explore the Doctor's adventures from a "scientific perspective", with eight different zones for visitors to check out.
A range of hands-on immersive experiences and interactive features will take people on a journey through Cosmic Curiosities, a TARDIS Tech room and the science behind time travel asking whether it really is possible, as well as the Monster Vault, where you can get up close with some of the weird and wonderful characters that have graced our screens.

Alison Cromarty, Head of Exhibitions & Design at National Museums Scotland, said:
“We are tremendously excited to be bringing this exhibition to Scotland. From the wonder of the science fiction of the TV show to our present-day understanding of the big scientific topics it touches on, there is something for everyone.”
Ed Cookson, Projects Director, Sarner International:
“For almost 60 years Doctor Who has been exploring mind-bending scientific developments. The iconic characters, monsters, stories, and settings of the television series provide a perfect guide through the wondrous worlds of space, time and science."
Doctor Who has strong Scottish connections, to date three Scots have played the role of The Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, David Tennant and Peter Capaldi (the Seventh, Tenth and Twelfth Doctors respectively) with a fourth, Ncuti Gatwa, recently announced as the new Doctor.
Tickets for Doctor Who World of Wonder will go on sale this autumn at www.nms.ac.uk/doctorwho.
