Peter Jackson to direct Doctor Who?

 
 
Doctor Who stars Colin Baker, Sylvestor McCoy and Paul McGann have been discussing with journalists in New Zealand about their desire to see Peter Jackson, the director of The Hobbit and Lord of The Ring Trilogies, direct a story for Doctor Who in celebration for the 50th anniversary. (IGN) The trio agree with the current Doctor, Matt Smith that getting Peter Jackson on board would be fantastic and that any episodes that he directs would be filmed in New Zealand.
 
In previous weeks Peter Jackson has declared his desire to direct a Doctor Who episode stating that they wouldn't even need to pay him. (Metro) Peter had previously said that he was a huge fan of the show and that Matt Smith makes a fantastic Doctor.
 
Its been revealed recently that Jackson had recently met with the showrunner Steven Moffat to discuss the possibility of him running an episode.
 
McCoy: "He knows what he's doing. If he was in charge of the budget he'd most likely want to film it on the moon and has the ability to do it. If he was using the resources of Weta they would make some amazing magic."
 
Moffat has made no comment on these rumours.
 
Jackson joked: ‘They don’t even have to pay me. I have got my eye on one of those nice new gold-coloured Daleks. They must have a spare one!’
