'Doctor Who' anniversary will be amazing for fans, says Steven Moffat

Steven Moffat has admitted that he is excited about plans for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.

The BBC sci-fi drama first aired in 1963, with a new series of "at least 14" episodes expected to debut in the autumn.

"There will never be a better time, I promise you," Moffat told the Radio Times.

"I'm saying this as a Doctor Who fan myself, and knowing a certain amount about what's coming."

He continued: "For so many reasons I can't talk about yet, there will never be a better time to be a Doctor Who fan, I absolutely promise that."



The showrunner previously insisted that he has "huge" and "extensive" plans for the anniversary year.

Doctor Who star Matt Smith has admitted that he would like to film a special 3D episode, and also expressed his desire to appear alongside former Who stars such as Tom Baker, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.
