For over three years, the rumour pot has been bubbling periodically with news that Peter Jackson is in line to direct an episode of Doctor Who.

Back in September 2012, it was first reported that the Who-fan The Lord Of The Rings director was willing to lend his talents to the BBC show. He just had the small matter of The Hobbit trilogy to get out of the way first.

Well, it seems there’s been some movement on that front, judging by a video posted on Peter Jackson’s Facebook page this very morning with the caption “This was an interesting weekend…”. We won’t ruin any of its surprises, but suffice to say, it’s below, very funny and well worth a watch.
