For the first time ever Doctor Who is launching a global world tour to introduce Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor.
During the trip, the 12th Doctor and his on-screen companion Jenna Coleman, along with the show’s executive producer Steven Moffat, will visit seven cities across five continents in 12 days for a series of media and fan events.
The 12-day tour is the biggest promotional undertaking in the show’s history. It kicks off in Cardiff, Wales on August 7 and then heads to London, Seoul, Sydney, New York, Mexico City and Rio. The New York appearance is set for Aug. 14.
Peter said of the tour, “It’s fantastic that so many people across the world love Doctor Who. After eight months solid filming deep in the world of monsters, Jenna and I are thrilled to be heading for the Planet of Fans.”
Check out a sneak peek of the tour at BBCAmerica.com and stay tuned for more details about the tour as they become available.
Hi
Please could anyone help me, my son is a huge doctor who fan and he’s thirteen years old his birthday is august 15. We live in ny and i would love to buy tickets for him for his birthday but i don’t know where to get them? Or when the event is or which venue is holding the event? Please if anyone could help me i would be so grateful and appreciated thanks for reading my comment
The venue hasn’t been announced yet, they only just announced details for the Cardiff event on July 4th. I suggest following Doctor Who on Facebook and keep checking https://www.doctorwho.tv/worldtour/.
I attended the Doctor Who screening and Q&A last year and the tickets were very hard to get and they sold out fast. I imagine it’ll be this again, so be sure to act fast.
Hi Kelli
Thank you so much for giving me advice and help please let me know if you hear anything else thank you again take care
No announcement yet but I think it’ll be pretty soon as a lot of the other tour dates have gone on sale and sold out. New York, Mexico City & Rio De Janeiro details are left to be posted. Keep checking the doctor who facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DoctorWho) and https://www.doctorwho.tv/worldtour/new-york/
