Surprising no one, Mark Gatiss has confirmed that his next episode for Peter Capaldi will appear in Series 9.

Gatiss told the Telegraph: “I’m in the midst of that right now – I broke off to come here today, in fact, but I’m hoping to finish the script tonight.”

He adds: “It has been a tough nut to crack, but I’m delighted with how scary it is. I can’t say any more than that.”
