The 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, greeted heaving
crowds yesterday as thousands of Who fans
flocked to Cardiff ahead of the world premiere of the show’s new series. With
head writer Steven Moffat and companion Jenna Coleman, not to mention several
Daleks and Cybermen, also in attendance, fans lined the red carpet for a chance
to meet the stars.
A few lucky ticket-holders even had the chance to join the
cast and crew for a screening of the feature-length opening episode, entitled Deep Breath.
The first step of a world tour taking in South Korea,
Australia, the US, Mexico and Brazil, the event ratcheted up anticipation ahead
of the new series, which will start on the 23rd of August on BBC
One.
Capaldi, described by Moffat as a “brand new, slightly
shocking, extremely funny charismatic doctor” was as delighted with the occasion
as the assembled crowds: "After eight months solid filming deep in the
world of monsters, Jenna and I are thrilled to be heading for the Planet of
Fans," he said after the tour was announced.
