With an out-of-this-world set, Doctor Who Live will feature special FX, optical illusions and spectacular pyrotechnics building to an epic finale.


As a fan of the television series, this makes me excited. I am told that stage illusions will be included in the show, and I can only guess at what they may be.

For those of you who know Doctor Who, what would you include? Which illusions and how?

P.S
For those of you who do not know what Doctor Who is, it is the single longest running sci-fi show ever, and has been broadcast on television in Britain since 1963; its kind of a national treature.
The TARDIS will be the hardest thing to create on stage, google it for more info. Basically it is a blue box, about 8' high and 5' wide that is labeled "Police Box" and it comes form the 1950's. However inside it is meant to be cavanous and massive, in britain the words "tardis-like" now mean anything which seems bigger on the inside.

Imagine an Origami illusion... but MUCH bigger. How that will transfer from the screen to the stage, I have no idea. But by god I hope they find a way. The outside looks very small, but here is a few shots of the inside:
