Piers Wenger Interviewed

Doctor Who Executive Producer, Piers Wenger has been talking to Collider about the plans for the series as it enters its 48th year.

The series returns this Christmas with a special entitled A Christmas Carol. Wenger describes the story as riffing on the Dickens tale. "There’s no one called Scrooge in it and it’s not set on Earth, but there are familiar archetypes from that story within it that will please fans of Dickens’s original."

Wenger also talked about the first story of the 2011 series, parts of which will be filmed in Utah. He described the story as "Doctor Who’s love letter to the States. It’s all about taking the show out to the States and seeing what Doctor Who will feel like set in America and in some very iconographic parts of the American landscape."
