Charlie Brooker has had a busy week with the release of the third season of his hit series Black Mirror, and the talented writer has revealed that he was at one point approached by the BBC to write an episode for their sci-fi series, Doctor Who.
Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who
Speaking with The Independent, Brooker explains: "I was approached for Doctor Who and I just didn't have time. It was really annoying. I was really busy and they haven't asked me again since. It was a bit like the Home Office asking you to do something."
Brooker also went on to tease potential future special episodes of Black Mirror, such as the previously released 'White Christmas'.
He said: "I wouldn't mind doing a Halloween one. I've been thinking about that. One of the reasons we shot 'Playtest' up in the running order is because we knew Halloween was coming and we thought it was perfect for that."
Black Mirror season 3 is available now exclusively on Netflix.
