It might not be in the upcoming season 9, but we could soon see the Doctor bursting into song around the TARDIS console.

It’s after Steven Moffat revealed he wouldn’t be against writing a musical episode of Doctor Who a la Buffy the Vampire Slayer (via Radio Times)

When asked about the possibility, Moffat said: “Who knows – anything could happen, I guess. Maybe!”
“It’s a hard one. A musical Doctor Who. It’s like saying, ‘do you know what this show isn’t – it’s just not camp enough.’ Really?”

“Anything is possible, that’s the extraordinary thing about Doctor Who. I’ve just never heard an idea for [a musical episode], or had an idea for one, that remotely worked.”

When questioned if the show could follow in the footsteps of live episodes of EastEnders and Coronation Street, Moffat said a live Doctor Who production would be too tricky to put together – citing the intensive post-production that is required on episodes.

He said: “I wouldn’t do it, I’ve gotta be honest – I’d run like hell from that, because the thing you don’t know about Doctor Who is the state it’s in when we sign it off.

“It’s… wow. The postproduction on Doctor Who – it’s like a whole other show. All these geniuses come in and make it into this completely real world.”

He added: “So I wouldn’t like personally, for me, a live episode. In the case of Doctor Who, we would be denied the creative input of some of the greatest postproduction crew on the planet. Why the hell would I wanna lose those guys?”
