DR WHO AND THE DALEKS
Exterminate!
In Peter Cushing’s centenary year, we are
delighted to present brand new digital
restorations of these classic Dr Who
feature films from the 1960s.
Fans of the present day series will enjoy
seeing the antecedents of one of the
Doctor’s deadliest foes, the Daleks, as
well as the genesis of the character of
the Doctor himself, played by Cushing.
There’s a host of classic British acting
talent on display including Bernard
Cribbins and Roy Castle, as well as some
early and ingenious special effects
sequences.
This is a fantastic opportunity to see this
cult British franchise on the big screen.

Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke) is a widower with a
penchant for things mechanical. He and his children
rescue an old banger from the scrap heap and create a
new motor car with the ability to fly and float. Trouble
looms, however, in the form of Baron Bomburst, the
monarch of a small but wealthy principality who hates
children. The baron is after the magical car and wants the
vehicle and its inventor kidnapped...
With a great score by the Sherman brothers and winning
performances by Dick Van Dyke et al, it is easy to see why,
45 years on, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has achieved its status
as one of the greatest family films of all time.
A special sing-along screening of this magical film. Song
lyrics will be projected onto the screen – join in with
the fun!
