Peter Harness hoping to return for ‘Doctor Who’ Season 9 ep

Posted Filed under

Peter Harness wants to write another Doctor Who episode for the next season.

The Wallander writer’s first Doctor Who episode, ‘Kill the Moon’, aired on Saturday night.

Speaking exclusively to CultBox, Harness revealed: “I’d love to write for Doctor Who for as long as I possibly can, whenever and if-ever they decide that they’ll have me back. And if that happens to be in Season 9, then terrific.”

Hinting at what setting a second episode might feature, he commented: “…I’m very happy to write past, present, future, parallel dimension or whatever. A lot of the other stuff I’ve written has been historical, so I’m very comfortable with that; but equally, I’m quite happy to get away from it for a while.”

Harness also stated that he prefers to invent “new creatures and new threats”, but admitted: “I’d love to bring back the Krynoids and the Mara.”
