Ben Wheatley Is Headed To Gallifrey

Strap in kids, because Dr Who is about to get weird. Given that we already have a John Hurt vs Peter Capaldi, Bad Doctor vs Good Doctor confrontation in the works for the upcoming season that's not exactly news but the BBC is turning in a surprising direction to make it happen.

Word is out that Kill List and Sightseers director Ben Wheatley is on the director roster for the upcoming season of the BBC staple. There doesn't appear to be any official word about his involvement, or how many episodes he will direct, but the Tweet above - and you better believe Empire would not have retweeted it unless there was something to it - indicates that he's on board for at least one episode.

So, what say you? Is Wheatley a good fit here? And who else would you like to see direct episodes of the coming season?
