The makers of Doctor Who haven’t given up their hopes of persuading The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson to film an episode.
Showrunner Steven Moffat had previously revealed: “I’ve spoken to [Peter Jackson] face to face, and he would like to do one. He accepts that there’s no money and that there’s no time, and it would have to be when he’s available… I think it will probably happen at some point.”
In a new interview with Omelete, executive producer Brian Minchin commented: “Peter Jackson should … come talk to us to direct an episode soon.”
In a hilarious video uploaded to Peter Jackson’s Facebook profile last November, Peter Capaldi appears in character as the Doctor in Jackon’s kitchen, with a very important letter to deliver.
