Dr who series 6 - The Director of Gareth Roberts’ episode is…

We had thought that Episode Eleven director Nick Hurran would also be directing the next episode up for recording, Gareth Roberts’ possible sequel to his Series Five episode The Lodger.

But earlier today Steve Hughes tweeted:

@moviegoblin: Start shooting Doctor Who tomorrow. Cannot wait

Meglos nearly returned!

A villain from the original series of Doctor Who was nearly revived for the most recent series of the BBC Sci Fi starring Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. Writer Gareth Roberts, speaking to the Doctor Who Magazine, revealed that while writing the episode The Lodger the first draft of the script included an original series monster - Meglos! The Cactus villain appeared in the 1980 Tom Baker story Meglos with Baker playing the dual role of the Time Lord and the villainous shape-shifting villain - the story isn't exactly highly regarded though.
