Blink remains one of the fans’ favourite episodes of ‘new’ Doctor Who and with this in mind, this is good news indeed.

Hettie Macdonald, director of that episode from Season 3, is returning to the fold for this new series. MacDonald has been working on Sky Atlantic’s Fortitude with Christopher Eccleston.

According to Blogtor Who: “No further details are known as this moment but it is thought she’s involved in Block Two of filming on Series 9 which may involve some overseas filming in Spain. Peter Bennett will be producing (who has produced a number of eps on the show since 2010).”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
