‘Doctor Who’ season 9: Spin-off show reportedly coming to BBC Three
Young adult author Patrick Ness has been confirmed to be the principal voice behind the project, even though Steven Moffat (the current “Doctor Who” showrunner) is also involved. Here is what he had to say in a statement on the subject:
“I’m astounded and thrilled to be entering the Doctor Who universe, which is as vast as time and space itself. There’s so much room there for all kinds of amazing stories, and to work with Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin to find a place to tell one of my own has been an absolute joy. I can’t wait for people to meet the heroes of Class, to meet the all-new villains and aliens, to remember that the horrors of the darkest corners of existence are just about on par with having to pass your A-Levels.”
While we have no idea at the moment what the quality of this show is going to be, for now, the gut reaction is to be happy about this. Why wouldn’t we be? It is a chance to see more of the franchise on the small screen, and we miss other spin-offs a la “Torchwood.”
