Juno Dawson has shared insights into the episode of Doctor Who she’s writing, saying “it’s the most ridiculous episode they’ve ever done… And the most expensive.”

“There’s no limit to the imagination on the show” – Doctor Who writer Juno Dawson
“The best thing about a writer on Doctor Who is that I get to play with characters that I’ve enjoyed since I was four or five years old.
“I got to write interior TARDIS. I got to write the Doctor. I got to write Belinda. There’s no limit to the imagination on the show. I think it’s the best show ever made.”
The 34-year-old continued: “Just by the way, it’s the most ridiculous episode they’ve ever done… And the most expensive. That’s an exclusive.”
Juno also writes a Doctor Who spin-off podcast. Her books include This Book is Gay and Her Majesty’s Royal Coven.
Responding to news of her joining the Doctor Who writers’ room last month, Juno said in a statement: “From writing fan-fiction for an audience of one, to scripting the best TV show of all time is truly a dream come true.
“I can’t wait for fans and newcomers to see the new season.”
