Back in June, Paul McGann stated that “It feels like it ain’t quite over”, with the ‘it’ in question being his days of running around with a sonic screwdriver in live-action Doctor Who adventures. We’ve now got a bit of an update on that.

Who fan Steve Dunn has written into Doctor Who Magazine asking showrunner Steven Moffat to “Please do [a multi-Doctor story with] the Eighth Doctor with the Twelfth Doctor.”

Moffat’s response was to neither confirm nor deny that he’d be up for it, merely stating that it’s a tough task:

“A multi-Doctor story is best contemplated from the position of not having to write one. The one time I’ve done it, I found it rancidly difficult and awful.”

Moffat added, “what I kept saying to people at the time was this: ‘There’s a reason there’s usually only one Doctor in Doctor Who.'”

Call me an optimist, but that doesn’t sound quite like he’s ruling it out, does it? We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
