Although Russell T Davies has seemingly ruled out returning to write another TV episode, he would be interested in penning a Doctor Who movie.

Speaking on BBC Radio 2 this weekend the former showrunner said: “I think it should be in the cinemas immediately. It would be glorious. Imagine queuing up at the cinema to go and see a Doctor Who film.”

Asked if he would write it: “Yes please. If we could get the lawyers and contracts flying now. You know I would do that because I think there’s a big leap to be made.”
