Catrin Stewart is hoping the Paternoster Gang will be back on Doctor Who - but she's not holding out hope for a spin-off.

The Gang - comprised of Stewart's character Jenny, Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh) and Strax (Dan Starkey) - have become fan favourites, with many calling for the trio to land their own show.

"I don't think it'll happen, but it's nice to know that people really like us and want us to come back," Stewart told Digital Spy.

"It would be a really fun series to do, but I think it's just the fans that want it. I don't think there's ever been any talk at the BBC.

"Someone's got to write it and now that Steven Moffat's leaving, I think it could be the end of the Paternoster Gang. Hopefully not, but he's the one who brought us to Doctor Who."

No more Paternoster Gang? Say it ain't so! Might we at least get a farewell outing in Doctor Who's next series?

"Hopefully we'll be back for Steven Moffat's last series," Stewart said. "If I knew anything, I couldn't say anything - but I genuinely have not heard anything!"

Doctor Who will return to BBC One in December for a Christmas special, with a full series following in 2017.

Catrin Stewart is starring in 1984, on at the Playhouse Theatre until October 29. For more information and tickets, head to 1984ThePlay.co.uk.
