Joe Hill is keen to write an episode of 'Doctor Who'.
Horror author Joe Hill — the son of literary legend Stephen King — has revealed the harsh rejection he received from the BBC when he pitched them an idea for a
Doctor Who episode.
Hill, who has won awards for his works including debut novel
Heart-Shaped Box, is a fan of the long-running sci-fi series and said fantasy author — and one-time
Who writer — Neil Gaiman helped him to craft his pitch.
The BBC were seemingly unimpressed, however, and Hill told podcast The HorroShow that he received a curt email, stating: “
We have never let an American write Doctor Who, and if we were going to, we wouldn’t start with you.”
LOL.
