Which is a good sign; anyone who's directed Tom Baker successfully knows what they're doing. Hopefully she'll be given a good meaty story to work with.

The quote going around the Internet is from the University of British Columbia's Facebook page:
"Attention "Whovians!": Our Assistant Prof Rachel Talalay is currently directing two episodes of BBC's cult hit series DR WHO! She's says she's "sworn to secrecy on everything to do with the storyline... until it leaks out." And yes, she admits to being a huge fan and "Taking crappy selfies in the Tardis." So jealous! More details to come - stay tuned!"

Presumably, then, a two-parter. Wonder who'll write it.
