To follow Matt Smith and Karen Gillan’s Doctor Who bus tour the Beeb has announced three days of special events at five BBC Big Screens across the UK. During these events fans will be able to “interact directly with the show”. According to the announcement:
The events will feature exclusive footage – including the chance to see the Doctor Who trailer in 3D – and giveaways, and fans can also get their photo taken tumbling through the giant vortex
The five lucky cities to get the Big Screen specials are London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Plymouth and Swansea.
So I guess this pretty much confirms the Saturday 3rd April date for the launch of series five.

To help launch the new series of Doctor Who Matt Smith and Karen Gillan will be doing a rapid tour of the UK. According to the Beeb:
The tour will introduce the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, and his Companion, Karen Gillan, to fans of the BBC One show and offer them a unique chance to meet the stars.
Each location will also host a regional premiere of episode one, The Eleventh Hour, for local children, working alongside BBC Outreach to enable kids to get a first look at the new Doctor in action.
The tour is being organised in conjunction with BBC Outreach and aims to visit regional locations “relatively under-served” by the Beeb. The five locations and planned dates are:
- Belfast (March 29)
- Inverness (March 30)
- Sunderland (March 30)
- Salford (March 31)
- Northampton (March 31)
Matt and Karen will be travelling the UK in a special Dr Who themed tour bus, so keep your eyes peeled.
