BBC Worldwide announced that the Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi, and his onscreen companion, Jenna Coleman (Clara Oswald), will visit Germany this summer for a one-time-only fan event live in Berlin on 17 July. The trip will offer German fans the opportunity to see the stars of the world’s longest running television sci-fi series, for the first time in Germany.
This visit follows on from last year’s successful fan events across the globe during the Doctor Who: The World Tour where Capaldi and Coleman visited seven cities, in 12 days including Seoul, New York and Rio de Janeiro.
Commenting on the forthcoming trip Peter Capaldi said, “So many German fans have already reached out to me about the show and I’m delighted to be travelling to their country to find out first hand why they love Doctor Who.”
Isabelle Helle, Director, German Speaking Europe, BBC Worldwide said, “Doctor Who is continuing to rise in popularity in Germany so we were especially keen to bring the stars of the series, Peter and Jenna over. We’re thrilled to offer this unique opportunity for fans to see, for the first time, the leading cast members of the series and have a truly memorable experience.”
Doctor Who Series 9 will premiere on Fox Channel Germany later this year. Previous series are available on Netflix, Maxdome and Amazon as well as on DVD through Polyband.
