Shearman at Time2

New series writer Rob Shearman appeared at Time 2, a convention organised by the DWAS. He revealed on stage that his script for episode 6 contained the words dog and food, but admitted this may be edited out! He could now visualise the new Doctor's costume and said it was not as "dressy" as those from the previous Docs. Shearman noted he'd read the first script and said to himself, "Wow, this is fantastic." Asked about his own notions of fantasy guest casting, Shearman commented that he wanted Hellen Mirren to play a character in his story... a character who was subsequently written out!
