Doctor Who will begin a UK tour later this month, it has been announced.

The three-day jaunt will introduce Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith and his companion Karen Gillan to fans and will screen a regional premiere of episode one of the new series, titled 'The Eleventh Hour'.

Smith and Gillan will begin their tour on Monday, March 29 in Belfast before travelling to Inverness and Sunderland via a specially themed Who bus the following day. Salford and Northampton are scheduled for Wednesday, March 31.

"This is a great opportunity for the new Doctor and his companion to interface directly with the people who matter most to Doctor Who: the fans," said executive producer Piers Wenger.

"The chance to visit them in their hometowns will ensure that the Eleventh Doctor’s maiden voyage is an utterly magical one."

Following the tour, the BBC will also hold events at selected BBC Big Screens across the UK, beginning on April 1.
