A Cunning Plan..?

Along with many other sources BBC News are reporting that according to his agent, Four Weddings And A Funeral writer Richard Curtis has agreed to pen an episode of Doctor Who series 5.

Among his other credits are tv comedies Blackadder and The Vicar Of Dibbley. Now I love Blackadder and still make a point of watching them when they get repeated on UKTV. However comments in The Sun that a famous historical character will get to battle monsters tends to leave me thinking "Please no crossovers." I doubt Rowan Atkinson would be persuaded to return to the role after all this time, which would leave only supporting characters or recasting. Don't somehow think that would work...

Although BBC News are reporting this, it is not quite the same as the corporation confirming it to be true! As yet there has been no official announcement on writers for series 5 despite filming starting about a month back.
