BBC Worldwide has confirmed details of a one-time-only live fan event in Germany next month.

Taking place in Berlin on Friday 17 July, the event will offer fans the opportunity to see Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman for the first time in Germany.

This visit follows on from last year’s world tour where the show’s stars visited seven cities in 12 days, including Seoul, New York and Rio de Janeiro.

Capaldi commented: “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 added: “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.”

Further details of the event will be announced on the official Doctor Who Facebook page soon.
