Mark Gatiss has pitched an idea for a sequel to Doctor Who\u2019s docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time \u2013 and we\u2019re fully on board.<\/p>\n

The writer, who penned Doctor Who<\/a> episodes including The Unquiet Dead<\/a>, Cold War<\/a>, Night Terrors<\/a>\u00a0and Sleep No More<\/a>, was also the scribe for the special 50th anniversary programme that detailed Doctor Who\u2019s beginnings.<\/p>\n

Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, he reflected: \u201cThe origins of everything, that\u2019s always the interesting thing. The other interesting thing is crisis\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe documentary about The Trial of a Time Lord<\/a> is an absolutely fascinating piece of work, because it\u2019s so full of what ifs and conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt\u2019s a strange thing to say, but the darkest hour for the show would definitely make a very interesting drama, wouldn\u2019t it? I mean, the personal conflicts, the professional conflicts, the resignations\u2026 that\u2019s the one, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I suppose out of the darkness comes the light, because there\u2019s a rosy future to look forward to.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something very moving about [Tales of the TARDIS<\/a>] rounding all that off.\u201d<\/p>

An Adventure in Space and Time, which returning showrunner Russell T Davies<\/a> has said is on its way to BBC iPlayer after the launch of the \u2018Whoniverse\u2019, starred David Bradley as the late William Hartnell and dramatised the complicated beginnings of Doctor Who.<\/p>\n

Also starring Brian Cox, Jessica Raine and Sacha Dhawan as Sydney Newman,\u00a0Verity Lambert\u00a0and\u00a0Waris Hussein, the docudrama was released in 2013 for the show\u2019s 50th anniversary.<\/p>
