New director announced for S9

A director from Doctor Who Series 3 is to return for at least one episode on this year's Series 9. Returning behind the camera is Hettie Macdonald, who helmed the Steven Moffat episode Blink (2007). Macdonald has just finished work on the Sky Atlantic series Fortitude, which stars former Doctor Who, Christopher Eccleston (and Blink star Michael Obiora).

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).

As previously announced, Daniel O’Hara is directing on the first block which contains the two-part story from Toby Whithouse, which make up Eps 3 and 4. For more details on Doctor Who Series 9, click HERE.
