IS STEVEN MOFFAT WORKING ON DOCTOR WHO SERIES 10? “I’M JUST EMBARKING ON THE NEW ONE”
Are we getting a series next year or not?
It’s not 100% confirmation of a 10th series, but it seems Steven Moffat is working on more Doctor Who beyond the current run.
The showrunner revealed he is “just embarking on the new [series]” in an interview with The Observer.
Asked what he was particularly proud of in the show’s current run, Moffat replied: “I’m proud that we get to the end of the series and it all looks pretty and is nice. I’m just embarking on the new one and it’s terrifying. I have to make all that again.”
A 10th series appeared to be confirmed way back in July, when BBC Worldwide’s Annual Review made reference to “investments in The Musketeers S3 and Doctor Who S10”.
However, the magazine Private Eye later alleged that there would be no full series in 2016, with a BBC spokesperson insisting that it was “too early to confirm the schedule for future series”.
One thing we do know is that Doctor Who will return for its traditional Christmas special this festive season, with Alex Kingston reprising her role of space-faring archeologist River Song.
“That’s been a riot to do,” Moffat said. “That’s been sort of a big fun chase episode, really. Just Mr and Mrs Who battling their way past nonsense and that’s been great fun. Alex [Kingston] is always great value.”
Doctor Who continues this Saturday at 8.15pm on BBC One, with ‘The Zygon Invasion’.
