Joss Whedon says writing ‘Doctor Who’ ep would be ‘very daunting’

Posted Filed under

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon has discussed the possibility of him writing an episode of Doctor Who.

Asked if he was interested in the prospect during a Nerd Machine Q&A, the Avengers Assemble writer answered:“I’m not sure, and here’s why… Yeah, I’d have to do a lot of research – like, watch 40 years of television. I’ve seen some of it, but let’s get real…”

He added: “It would be very daunting to follow in the footsteps of [Steven] Moffat and the guys. It is great.”

Whedon closed the question by teasing: “Check back with me when The Doctor is a she. Or Idris Elba!”
