About

The Doctor and Rose travel to a remote base on a planet orbiting a black hole, where an ancient force awakens beneath the surface.

Doctor Who: The Satan Pit is a cinema re-edit of the two-part Tenth Doctor adventure The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit, presented as one feature-length film. The Doctor (David Tennant) and Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) travel to Sanctuary Base 6, a remote outpost on a planet that orbits a black hole. The base crew includes Mr Jefferson (Danny Webb), Toby Zed (Will Thorp), Ida Scott (Claire Rushbrook), Danny Bartock (Ronny Jhutti), Zachary Cross Flane (Shaun Parkes) and Scooti Manista (MyAnna Buring). When an ancient force stirs beneath the planet's surface, the crew find themselves facing a battle against something older than time.
