Doctor Who Experience opens in Cardiff

What can you expect from the Doctor Who Experience?

Doctor Who fans have flocked to Cardiff for the opening day of the hit show's biggest ever exhibition.

The Doctor Who Experience is based next to the BBC Wales Roath Lock studios where the sci-fi series is filmed.

It includes an interactive 'journey' where visitors can star in their own mini Doctor Who episode, with exclusive filmed scenes with Matt Smith.

There's also a massive collection of props and monsters, as well as specially-built sets.
