Yahoo News Gatiss confirms he won't be writing for Doctor Who S11
Mark Gatiss has seemingly confirmed that he will not be writing for Doctor Who series 11.
The actor and writer, who will star in the upcoming Christmas special 'Twice Upon a Time' and has written numerous episodes in the past, seemed to confirm the news during an appearance on Lorraine earlier today (December 15).
When pressed on what he thought of the new Doctor Jodie Whittaker, Gatiss revealed that he knows nothing about what's ahead, hinting he hasn't been working on the show's upcoming season.
"It's fantastic," he said. "What I love about this, I love the costume – I call it 'Godspell chic'. It's got a lovely early '70s feel to it, which I really like. I think it's a fantastic choice, Jodie, it's a whole new era."
However, he then added: "And I don't know anything about it which is a position I've not been in since 2004. Yes [it's strange] but it's nice."
Gatiss also opened up about Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat's departure from the show in the Christmas episode, recalling that they were in tears over the whole thing.
"It was a very touching thing," he continued. "I created Sherlock with Steven. We've been friends for years. I've written for Doctor Who since it came back.

"Earlier this year Steven said to me, 'Will you keep the summer free because I've written a part for you in Peter's last story and I want you to be there when I go.'
"We were all in tears. It was the screening the other night and we were all in tears I'm afraid. It's a happy sad."
Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time will air on BBC One on Christmas Day at 5.30pm, while Lorraine airs weekdays from 8.30am on ITV.
