The BBC has released more information regarding an upcoming episode from season 8! The episode, directed by Peter Harness, will feature Hermione Norris
Steven Moffat had this to say:
…For the first time since 1984, the Doctor Who production team is heading to Lanzarote. The Doctor is returning to the scene of an old adventure – but there have been sinister changes since his last visit.
Lanzarote hasn’t been seen since 1984, when the fifth Doctor faced the Master in Planet Of Fire!
Lanzarote is on my list of Dr Who locations to visit, that would be so cool!
