The reincarnation of Doctor Who is not only exciting sci-fi enthusiasts, it's getting TV writers pretty worked up as well. News that a 13-part series has been commissioned for BBC 1 has produced huge interest within the TV industry.

"I've never had so many requests to be involved in a series as I have for Doctor Who," says BBC drama executive Mal Young. "Everyone seems to want to be part of bringing back such an iconic series."

Two more writers - Coupling's Steven Moffatt and League of Gentlemen creator/writer Mark Gatiss - have been recruited to the creative team. They join Russell T Davies, who's working on the new series, due to begin filming in May for broadcast next year. "I believe we've got the best people in the business working on the best show," says Davies. "They'll be writing stories ranging across the whole of time and space - brilliant writers and brilliant scripts."
