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!”

The new season of Doctor Who is currently filming in Cardiff and begins on BBC One in April 2017.

Here’s everything we know so far about Season 10.
