Doctor Who UK Tour
Doctor Who will begin a national tour across the UK in March, introducing the new Doctor to fans of the series in five different locations across the UK, the BBC announced today.
The tour will introduce the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, and his Companion, Karen Gillan, to fans of the BBC One show and offer them a unique chance to meet the stars.
Each location will also host a regional premiere of episode one, The Eleventh Hour, for local children, working alongside BBC Outreach to enable kids to get a first look at the new Doctor in action.
Smith and Gillan will travel around the UK on a specially themed Doctor Who tour bus, featuring the new TARDIS logo and iconic imagery.
The Doctor's maiden voyage will commence on March 29 in Belfast, and then travel to Karen Gillan's home town, Inverness, for a screening on March 30.
The bus will then move on to Sunderland that afternoon and Salford on Wednesday March 31 before finishing later that day in Northampton – Matt Smith's hometown.
Following the tour, from April 1 to 3, the BBC will also hold events for three days at selected BBC Big Screens across the UK giving Doctor Who fans in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Plymouth and Swansea the chance to interact directly with the show in their home towns.
The events will feature exclusive footage – including the chance to see the Doctor Who trailer in 3D – and giveaways, and fans can also get their photo taken tumbling through the giant vortex.
