BBC News has announced that Richard Curtis is to write an episode for Doctor Who‘s thirty-first series, to be broadcast in Spring 2010. The announcement follows an interview with Curtis in tabloid “news”paper The Sun.
He said that the episode would feature a “famous historical figure” battling a monster.
It is important to note that The Sun regularly makes “facts” up in order to get more readers – the “insider” suggesting that the figure is Sir Edmund Blackadder is most likely invented.
