Mark Gatiss says he would return to Doctor Who

BBC - Mark Gatiss with David Tennant in Doctor Who

Mark Gatiss, who has recently adapted his television story The Crimson Horror for the new wave of Target novelisations, has told the Radio Times that he would be open to writing more Doctor Who.

“It’s wonderful,” he said, speaking to RadioTimes.com about his Target novel. “I mean, obviously, I did four of them [Doctor Who novels] years ago, but they weren’t Targets, were they?. They were New Adventures [original novels put out by Virgin Publishing between 1991 and 1997], and then BBC Books… but this is is a Target book – it looks like one! It’s amazing."

He then went on to talk about how he had ideas for future Doctor Who television stories. “Yeah, I do. I mean, not millions of them, but there are certain things that occur and you think ‘There’s sort of only one place you could do that’ – and it’s not because it’s some kind of grand sci-fi idea, it’s just something very particular where you go, ‘Ah, that’s a Doctor Who idea’.

Doctor Who returns to television later this year. The Crimson Horror is available to buy now.
