Russell T Davies on New Who’s 10th Anniversary
Davies told the RadioTimes: “Someone from the [BBC’s] branding team sent me a very lovely email saying do you want to do something.”
“I don’t know what they imagined: a talk or a convention perhaps. I just said no, to be honest. A programme can’t have its fiftieth and then its tenth. I think that’s just confusing. It’s marvellous and glorious; let it carry on.”
Asked about writing an episode for the show again, he replied: “Wouldn’t that be nice? The lovely Steven [Moffat] invites me every year to come and write one. And I love him and I love them and I love watching it, but here I am, moving on. I love Doctor Who with all my heart but nothing is more important to me than my own stuff.”
On whether he has any ideas for a new Whoniverse story: “I made 60 episodes and did 40 Torchwoods and 40 Sarah Janes and there are an awful lot of ways to destroy the world in there.”
The Radio Times adds: “A BBC source says that plans for the reboot anniversary were still to be decided, and that the Corporation’s primary focus was always the show’s 50th anniversary back in 2013.”
