Russell T Davies originally pitched the episode to Steven Moffat for his era of the show. <\/p>
Now that we\u2019re at the halfway point through Doctor Who<\/a> season 14, Russell T Davies has teased that the show\u2019s next episode will be taking a leaf out of another sci-fi favourite\u2019s book: Black Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dot and Bubble<\/a> will see the Doctor and Ruby trying to help the citizens of Finetime, a world which seems happy and harmonious, but where an awful terror is preying on the citizens.<\/p>\n Black Mirror is of course known for its portrayal of the downsides of futuristic technology and its representation of dystopian societies, and, speaking in this month\u2019s issue of\u00a0Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>, Davies has said any comparison between Dot and Bubble and the Netflix<\/a> series is perfectly welcome.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cThis is probably our clearest step into Black Mirror territory, which I love. I\u2019m a huge fan of Charlie Brooker. He\u2019s immensely brilliant. But there\u2019s a little bit more freedom and Doctor Who madness in Dot and Bubble.<\/em> There\u2019s a sense of fun. And monsters in the middle of it.<\/p>\n \u201cSo although it\u2019s Black Mirror-like,\u00a0it\u2019s more\u00a0Doctor Who.<\/em> It\u2019s got the bones and the blood of our favourite show. I hoot a lot when I watch it.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83d\udef8It\u2019s BRAND NEW #dwm<\/a> day! Grab issue 604 now for:
