It was a rough Monday in the UK, but it looks to be closing out with a hand-wrapped gift for fan fiction writers everywhere, notes Alasdair Stuart. Speaking to Awards Radar, Akiva Goldsman confirmed that discussions about a Doctor Who/Strange New Worlds crossover had occurred.

We were trying with Russell to do a crossover. We were for years. Again, these are the near misses, but we got not unclose and we had some really cool conversations about it. And so, certainly in our view, I mean, Pelia travelled in the TARDIS. Why not?

Oh that warms my heart. For those who haven’t seen Strange New Worlds, Pelia is the Enterprise’s Chief Engineer immediately prior to Scotty. A Lanthanite, like Chancellor Ake in the already-missed Starfleet Academy, Pelia is played by genuine Hollywood legend Carol Kane. One part cheerfully erratic Aunt, one part relentlessly focused criminal(?) she’s a delight and would love spending time in the TARDIS. Personally, I’d have loved to see her with 13 or 15 solving and/or doing crimes. Thanks to fanfiction, shortly I have no doubt we will.

Strange New Worlds Season 4 begins July 23. A final fifth season has already been filmed.

Doctor Who is available on iPlayer and disc.
