The seventh season of Doctor Who may be finishing up this week, but the adventure continues live in Sydney on one very special night in June. Vivid Sydney announced today that they will be joining with the BBC to light up Customs House at Circular Quay on 1 June 2013 from 6:50pm, accompanied by a special screening of two episodes from the end of the first half of the seventh season.
