    I can't get this to work. Does anyone know which cinemas in the centre of London are showing it?

    It crashes my browser every time. Does anybody know if it's UK-only data?

    Well that's a really bloody annoying website. Is there a straightforward list anywhere?! Or is that too easy?

    Apparently the only showing in Northern Ireland is in the Odeon in Belfast...which is annoying because the prices there are extortionate in the extreme.

    Will they show the 50th special before or after it is broadcast on TV?

    Either Simulcast of after depending on Cinema. We'll know more when tickets go on sale

    Tell me about it! I was hoping for Movie House, Dublin Road. Only £4 for 3D, in Odeon it's closer to £14.

    Cineworld Ashford is miles away and impossible to get to without a car. How annoying!

    The cinema screenings will take place the same time as the UK TV broadcast on BBC One on 23rd November 2013, giving fans another unique opportunity to be part of a truly global celebration for the iconic British drama series.
    This is tempting as I do not have a 3DTV.

    Android phones and apple keeps crashing, so tried it on windows laptop and it's ok and shows all that are showing in the cinemas . I then rang cineworld about information and they said that booking tickets and prices will not be available to general public until 9 days before screening. I then phoned odeon and they said prices unknown and sale to general public 14 days before screening

    Broadly the same thing here — iOS 7's Safari and the current Android Chrome both crashed every time. No problems whatsoever in Safari on a Mac.

    I think one of the other reports said yes, but possibly only on Sky.

    Just stick in your postcode and it shows you.

    You can't spare two hours of your day for 75 minutes watching something that you're going to see anyway on a larger screen? Shocking!

    Stratford Picture House is actually the best option, as you can get there direct on the dlr in under 10 minutes. Lovely cinema as well. It's roughly the same distance as the O2 cinema but far superior and no need to change for the tube.

    It's also much nearer than the Greenwich Picture House - you'd need to get to North Greenwich and take a bus , woolwich(after walking across the river by footbridge) and take a bus/train or take three dlr trains.

    Hmmmm. Not holding out much hope for getting tickets for this. Two cinemas...both Vue and Picturhouse are listed but phone calls to both gave mixed results. The Vue were totally clueless. Typical. The Picture House after a real search of their system could confirm they have a 'provisional' programing of it- only found when I told them the date- but could give no concrete info on booking tickets or say for certain if it will be on.

    I am not massively bothered as I generally prefer to watch things at home on my big tasty TV but it feels right to mark the event like this. Fingers crossed.

    Like with many ticket related things when it comes to Doctor Who, it'll probably be a bit chaotic due to sheer weight of demand ;)
