The Telegraph has released a new interview with writer Tom MacRae, in which he discusses the new interactive Doctor Who show, The Crash of the Elysium.

He also shares a few interesting tidbits about his Series 6 episode, which will air in the autumn. “I’ve written Episode 10, which I think is my most accomplished piece of plotting ever,” he reveals. “The script meant that nothing has gone out about it. We didn’t do much location filming, and the way the guest characters work is unusual.”

He continues: “No one knows anything about my episode. There’s speculation about it which is wrong – some bright spark has put the title on IMDB as The Green Anchor – it has never been called that! I’m amazed we’ve kept it this secret because there’s a really big surprise in it. All I’ll say is that it’s an unusual episode and really great.”

    Really looking forward to this one. It’s been an age since Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel, and MacRae’s a great writer.

    I believe it’s actually, “The Teal Anchor”.

    No?

    “The Olive Drab Anchor”???

    After Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel, I’m really not looking forward to this episode no matter how secretive or important to the story arc it is.
