Steven Moffat has said that following Jenna Coleman final episode, Clara will be gone forever.

Speaking at the Lucca Comics & Games panel Moffat said: “Literally I have nothing in mind for Clara, she’s vanished from the fictional universe forever. But I think what she’s going to do by the end of this series will shock, horrify and surprise you, in roughly that order.”

However, in brighter news he told Variety that Peter Capaldi “is going nowhere” when quizzed about Series 10 (although still no confirmation on the format).

He also reaffirmed his comments from earlier in the year stating that Doctor Who will last at least five more years: “It is definitely going to last five more years, I’ve seen the business plan. It’s not going anywhere. And I think we can go past that. It’s television’s own legend. It will just keep going.”
