Doctor Who star, Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill take a journey through time to land in Cardiff’s Civic Centre on November 10 when they will be there to thrill the crowds by switching on the city’s Christmas Lights and mark the start of festivities for Cardiff, The Christmas City.

Matt is the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord and is currently around the city filming his second series of the blockbuster TV favourite with his latest assistant Karen Gillan, who plays Amy Pond, along with her screen husband Rory Williams played by Arthur Darvill.

Matt Smith said: “It’s a real honour to be asked to switch on Cardiff’s Christmas Lights because the city has become like a second home to not only me, but the rest of the Doctor Who production team. We love filming here in Wales and we even managed to get into the festive spirit extra early this year when filming the Doctor Who Christmas Special in August. Cardiff is a great city and I’d like to thank all of its residents for being so welcoming and accommodating.”

The big switch on takes place on King Edward VII Avenue at 7.40pm, after the crowds have been entertained from 6.30pm by children’s favourite Bob The Builder and his sidekicks Wendy and Spud, with music from soul band Supernatural, and compères Real Radio Breakfast Show presenters Jagger and Woody. And BBC Wales presenter Jason Mohammad will be introducing the Doctor Who team to the stage for the big switch on.
