New Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi is to circle the Earth without the aid of a Tardis as he and co-star Jenna Coleman go on a world tour to promote the show.
They are to visit five continents in the space of 12 days, calling in at seven cities, ahead of the launch of the new series, Capaldi's first as The Doctor.
The pair will be accompanied by the BBC1 programme's executive producer Steven Moffatt when they head out on their world jaunt in August for publicity and fan events.
It begins in the UK, visiting Cardiff on August 7, moving on to London and winding up in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil on August 19. Along the route it will call in to South Korea, Australia, the US and Mexico.
Fans saw Capaldi become the latest regeneration of the Doctor at Christmas and he has spent the past few months working on his first full series, starring alongside Coleman who returns as assistant Clara.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
