A behind-the-scenes tour of the studios where Doctor Who, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood are filmed is being offered as a prize in this year's BBC Children In Need appeal.
The BBC Press Office announced the competition today - and at the same time confirmed that the title of the 2008 Doctor Who Christmas special is The Next Doctor.
The BBC will be opening the studio doors just outside Cardiff to 100 competition winners and their friends and families onNovember 8 and 9, during a brief gap in the production schedule.
Russell T Davies said: "This is so exciting. Giving fans the opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes look at where we film Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures is just brilliant.
"It'll be the perfect opportunity for the whole family to experience something unique and truly extraordinary. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience - and the best thing is that all the money raised will go towards BBC Children in Need."
To be in with a chance of winning a place on the tour, people will have to correctly answer a multiple-choice question. This will be announced on Friday, September 26 on The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 and on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru.
It will also be available on the official Doctor Who website, along with the full terms and conditions.
The competition phone lines will be open from 8am on September 26. Callers must be over 16 years old and have the bill-payers' permission. Each winner will be able to bring up to three guests, who must all be aged five or over.
The 2008 BBC Children in Need television show is on Friday, November 14.
Although not stated in the press release, the official website says that entrants must be UK residents.
