Since we shared a lift with Steven Moffat at last week's Doctor Who launch, we can't help but feel a kind of kinship with the newly crowned king of TV's biggest sci-fi show.
Which doesn't have anything to do with our latest bit of Who-related news whatsoever, but we're proud to have spent a full minute (ish) in the company of such a man without a) squealing with delight and asking for his autograph or b) dropping to one knee and begging him for a job.
ANYWAY.
In an interview with someone else (The Guardian, if you must know), The Moff has revealed that he's resisted temptation to include cameos from previous Doctor Who characters in this new series.
"The more you back-reference, the more it feels like a sequel and the sequel is never as good as the original," he explained.
"Old favourites can return, provided you can do something new and exciting with them. There are no past characters coming back in this series, but I imagine that kids would love to see Captain Jack meet the new Doctor."
Kids? Never mind the kids Steven. WE would LOVE to see Captain Jack meet the new Doctor.
But in all seriousness, while we love a good comeback maybe it'll be nice to watch a series finale without suffering the schmaltzy, sentimental reunion so favoured by Russell T. Davies. Though that's not to say we wouldn't appreciate an appearance from Rose Tyler et al at some point...
