'Doctor Who' Season 8 Stars Peter Capaldi And Jenna Coleman Going On 2014 World Tour To Promote August Premiere Episodes, Stopping In The US!

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat will join series leads Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman on a five-continent, seven-city world tour this summer to promote the upcoming eighth season of the popular time-travelling series.

"After 8 months solid filming deep in the world of monsters, Jenna and I are thrilled to be heading for the Planet of Fans," Capaldi said in a statement.

"I've always thought we'd all be a lot safer if the Doctor conquered the world, instead of the Daleks," Moffat added. "Now with Jenna and Peter leading the charge, it looks like it's going to happen. I'll be bringing up the rear to handle the exposition scenes, and maybe carry some bags."

The eighth season of Doctor Who - and Capaldi's first as the Doctor - premieres in August on BBC America.

Here is some more information on this world tour:

The trip will see Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi, on-screen companion Jenna Coleman, and the show's lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat*, visit seven cities across five continents in 12 days, where they will attend fan events and media interviews, publicising Series 8 to a global audience. The tour marks the largest ever promotional undertaking in Doctor Who's 50-year history and will kick off in Welsh capital and home of the series' production, Cardiff, before taking in London (UK), Seoul (South Korea), Sydney (Australia), New York (US), Mexico City (Mexico) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). More details of the itinerary will be available from doctorwho.tv soon, as well as reports from the tour as it happens, which fans everywhere will be able to enjoy across social and digital platforms.
