Fans are also encouraged to create their own content and tagging #DWWorldTour.
Amanda Hill, Chief Brands Officer for BBC Worldwide says:
This Doctor Who global tour isn’t just about the lucky few that manage to get tickets for the events, it’s about connecting with fans all over the world, wherever they are. Live-streaming our fan Q&As as well as offering content on all our social platforms will allow everyone to join in the experience and hear from the stars of the show
Doctor Who World Tour Live Streams Coming Soon!, via
YouTube
The BBC have confirmed that Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman and Steven Moffat will be attending the special screening of Deep Breath at the Odeon Leicester Square on 23rd. 
The online schedule from BBC America indicates that the channel will now broadcast series premiere Deep Breath at 8:15pm rather than the previously announced 8:00pm - the preceeding Doctor Who: Live Pre-Show is now scheduled for then, in a shortened fifteen minute timeslot.
We will no longer be live streaming the fan Q&A event from the Doctor Who World Tour in Sydney. We’ve listened to your feedback and agree that it’s much more exciting for fans (both at the events and online) if the Q&A session takes place AFTER screenings of Deep Breath. That way, the panel will be able to chat about the Twelfth Doctor and the episode in much more detail. The World Tour is the first time that a current Doctor and companion have officially visited Australia, so we want to make sure that we make the most out of their time with fans.
The Doctor Who World Tour heads down-under for its next stop, with Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman participating in a number of press and public events in Sydney tomorrow, leading to another live Q&A event streamed live around the world via the the official Doctor Who YouTube channel (update: the live stream has been cancelled).
BBC Latin America have confirmed that they will broadcast the series premiere Deep Breath on Saturday 23rd August, from 10:00pm Mexican time (Midnight Argentinian time).
With the Doctor Who World Tour having reached Seoul in South Korea in the run-up to the start of Series 8 on Saturday 23rd August, Jenna Coleman has begun using social media - sending tweets and posting pictures on Instagram.
BBC America has announced that tickets for the New York leg of the Doctor Who World Tour will go on sale on Monday 11 August at Midday.
