Three writers, a six-day shoot – what could it be? <\/p>

Fans of Doctor Who<\/a> have already got plenty to be excited about across the rest of this year. Not only are there three 60th anniversary specials starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate on the way, but there\u2019s also a festive special starring Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s new Fifteenth Doctor to look forward to.<\/p>\n

However, it seems that\u2019s not all \u2013 showrunner Russell T Davies has now teased that a new project was also shot in the second half of September, after he started questioning whether he and the team had \u201cdone enough\u201d to celebrate the anniversary.<\/p>\n

Writing in his Letter from the Showrunner in this month\u2019s edition of\u00a0 Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>, Davies said: \u201cAs the summer began, I was thinking about the 60th and wondered, have we done enough?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I had an idea on July 5, sent a formal proposal to the team on July 20, then three scriptwriters got to work, and now, just two months later, in the second half of September, we\u2019re about to embark on a 6-day studio shoot of brand new material that will make you FIZZ! I promise!\u201d<\/p>

Exactly what form this brand-new material will take is still under wraps \u2013 could it be a skit for Children in Need, or some form of web special? Or, given the inclusion of three writers, could it be three separate, short projects? It seems we will have to wait to find out.<\/p>\n

In the letter, Davies also teased three important dates<\/a> for fans to look out for throughout November, although stressed none of these is a transmission date for one of the three specials \u2013 Wednesday\u00a01st November, Friday 17th November and Thursday 23rd November.<\/p>\n

Perhaps whatever this additional project is will drop on one of those dates?<\/p>\n
