Neil Gaiman says he'd love to write a new episode of Doctor Who with Peter Capaldi at the helm.
The author has previously penned two episodes of the series - 2011's The Doctor's Wife and last year's Nightmare In Silver - and is keen to get onboard with the BBC One series once more.
Speaking to Audrey Niffenegger at a New York Q&A, he said: "Whenever I'm in the UK, I sneak into meetings with [the production team]. They say, 'Can you do another one?!' and I say, 'Yes! But not yet!'"
"Now I'm just sort of hoping that I can get one done while Peter Capaldi is still the Doctor, because it would be a very sad thing if I lost my chance to write for a grumpy, Scottish Doctor."
He believes that there are "boxes left to tick" which he hasn't been able to fulfill in his previous efforts.
"I haven't done an episode set on Earth yet, and I haven't created a new monster.
"So there are boxes left to tick. And there's part of me that feels... I haven't scared anybody yet. I'd love to do something that sends adults behind the sofa too and makes them wee."
