Richard Curtis has announced some details about his upcoming episode of Doctor Who.

It was recently confirmed that the Blackadder writer will pen a script for Matt Smith's first season as The Doctor.

Curtis told ShortList: "I am writing a new episode of Doctor Who, which is great. I wanted to write something my kids would like.

"So I'm doing a Doctor Who that will be on TV next February. I've got Van Gogh stabbing a monster."

He added: "Someone from the BBC just sent me a picture of my monster. I had to decide if it was yellow enough."
