Russell T. Davies

Russell T. Davies

Russell T. Davies is hoping he can pen the script for a Doctor Who movie.

Responsible in 2005 for reviving the cult classic, he stepped down as executive producer in 2010 and handed control to Steven Moffat.

Though he's refused multiple requests to pen a new television episodes, Russell is behind the "glorious" idea of a spin-off film.

Asked if he thinks there should be a movie he responded on Graham Norton's BBC Radio 2 show: "Yes, I think it should be in cinemas immediately, it would be glorious. Imagine queuing up for the cinema for a 'Doctor Who' film, I would be there with a sleeping bag.

"Would I write it? Yes please, if we could get the lawyers and the contracts. I would do that because I think there's a big leap to be made."

Recently revealing he still watches the show "religiously", he thinks Peter Capaldi is fantastic in his role, but is too busy with his own projects - including new show Cucumber - to return in any capacity.

"Wouldn't that be nice? The lovely Steven invites me every year to come and write one. And I love him and I love them and I love watching it, but here I am, moving on. I love 'Doctor Who' with all my heart but nothing is more important to me than my own stuff."
