Over the last few years, Rachel Talalay has become Doctor Who‘s number one director, having helmed the previous three finales. It makes a lot of sense, then, that she’s now been entrusted with shepherding Peter Capaldi’s final episode – this year’s Christmas special.
Speaking with Doctor Who Magazine (via DoctorWho.TV), Talalay teased what fans could look forward to from the upcoming outing, and it seems that “special” is the operative word to describe the episode.
“It took my breath away. It really, really took me by surprise. I didn’t know that Steven [Moffat, showrunner] was going to announce it when he did, and suddenly my Twitter was full of so much incredible positivity – and I was overwhelmed, because I don’t take these things for granted. It’s definitely quite something to be asked to direct three in a row and be part of this epic ending.
