New Doctor Who Biopic to be written by Mark Gatiss
Mark Gatiss is preparing to write a major BBC2 biopic about the genesis of Doctor Who to celebrate the drama’s 50th anniversary next year.
Details of the project are being closely guarded by the BBC, but it is understood that it will be titled An Adventure in Space and Time – a reference to Doctor Who’s original subtitle – and feature the key personalities involved in creating the sci-fi franchise
Current Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat will be drafted in to executive produce An Adventure in Time and Space, alongside BBC Wales’ Caroline Skinner.
“The story of Doctor Who is the story of television, so it’s fitting in the anniversary year that we make our most important journey back in time to see how the Tardis was launched,” Moffat said.
