I doubt it will happen anymore than several attempts to let Peter Jackson do an ep did in the late 2000s-early 2010s due to conflicts in scheduling, but Wright does have a longstanding relationship with the production and in particular Steven Moffat (who he co-wrote Tintin with). And they did finally get Neil Gaiman for several eps.

I would love to see some New Adventures or classic people return again like Paul Cornell, who's been gone a long time and is mostly in comics atm. Or Ben Aaronovitch from the McCoy era, since they did manage to get Rona Munro back in Capaldi's era.

The really interesting stuff in the interview for me is the spinoff talk - we know he's been talking about it a long time, how to re-franchise the show again, but it's exciting to see it made manifest.

I didn't know about this article. (As it says it's not paywalled, you can click a link inside it to undo the block) It's in the news because of this. The video at the first link is good, but the other two parts of the article are linked in the tweet below (along with better quality images).

 

And over at Big Finish:

 

Speaking of spinoffs: Grain of salt, but rumor has it this latest Blu-Ray extra's focus and branding is not a coincidence.

@Vee Thanks for posting the old anniversary piece, and the new preview video. Such a moving, understated tribute to Stewart Bevan. I'm so glad a few of the Pertwee-era cast are still around for these promotions and moments.

I can't see Edgar Wright directing either, but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.

    • Today was amazing, for so many reasons. Others have complained certain stories are dragging and others have rightly pointed out, the show only premiered THREE MONTHS AGO! Yes, the caps are dramatic, but I think they seize the moment appropriately. I have watched more than a few soap opera debuts. BTG, is by far, the best, first three months of a show, I have ever seen. MVJ, rightly, found the best in the business to avoid as my pitfalls as they could, to get the show settled quickly. They have found their footing. Is it perfect, no, but is it as close to excellence I've seen this quickly, yes. I loved today's scenes, particularly with Anita. That voice reading the letter, sounded like June

    • GH has to be the only soap that still has a courtroom set and I appreciate that as I love courtroom drama on soaps.
    • Ahh ok, that makes sense. Gosh, I didn't remember Frances passing in 1994. I thought she was with us longer than that. She was such a sweet lady and character. Yes, so good and I'm so happy there is a quality version online. I looked it up and AMC won the Best Directing Emmy for 1994, so I have to assume they submitted these episodes. I'm not sure how to find out to confirm, but would only make sense. I still get chills watching it because I remember it so vividly as a 10 year old. Of course the drama of it all to see what happens to your favorite characters pre-spoiler days, but I grew up in the Midwest so tornadoes were a real, scary thing that. We had monthly tornado drills in school, so this made it seem very real to me.
    • Speaking of slaps, there's the infamous Ed slapping daughter Michelle during the Maryanne Carruthers mess in 2003.

    • Tracy’s tossed-off line to Drew about being out of ketamine made me LOL. I feel like some funny gay guy is writing her one-liners lately.
    • Yes, I am aware of the ballyhoo about Michigan. But, I still do not understand & I will  endeavor to explain why. Do some of us think it was a real place in Michigan, because not thing ever gave me such an idea. I thought we all knew it was a fictional location & I am positive that Irna meant it to be just that.  
    • It has come up in this thread before that early on it was specified that Another World was set in Bay City, Michigan, but somewhere along the line the references shifted to Illinois-ish.    I have tried and failed to find any specific clear reference to Michigan, although there have been some circumstantial details that suggest Bay City is not in Illinois. i notice that the AW Bible begins by describing the location as simply "not far from Oakdale", but things do change (the bible calls Pat Cynthia) and we can't take that as pure canon.    
    • At this point (and I've changed my tune several times), I'd fully rest the Cassadine family at this point.
