Doctor Who is taking the new Doctor around the world to meet his fans. Its a first for any TV series a global tour for the iconic hero of the world's longest running sci-fi show. In 11 days, he is travelling to the four corners of our planet London, Seoul, Sydney, New York, Mexico City, Rio and back to London. Doctor Who is a global icon, a symbol of British creativity and imagination. Its time for him to step onto the global stage Peter Capaldi will travel with Jenna Coleman, his co-star and on screen companion, Clara throughout the tour. Steven Moffatt, show runner, will join at certain points as will Brian Minchin, the executive producer. Peters incarnation as Doctor Who is an iconic moment in the brands history the first doctor after the 50th anniversary, a contrast to the easy likeability of the 11th doctor, a doctor thats more complex, more anti-establishment, more rogue. The tour will introduce the 12th Doctor to the world: a great British icon goes global. Well film the whole journey and everything that happens from a fan perspective - with insight, respect and affection. We will not seek to break the mystique or intrigue around the new doctor, the show or Clara, but to make it compelling and unmissable, for both fans and newcomers alike. This will be a fascinating introduction to the newest incarnation of the icon. Well begin with an event in London to mark the start of the journey to wish them on their way. And well end back in London to celebrate the tour - of iconic locations in the US, Australia, South Korea, Mexico and Brazil - just in time to launch the new season along the way we will get to know the fans who have made the show what it is, meet new characters, understand why they love the Doctor, why they love the show, and just why it has a truly global appeal.
