Old news, new details!
It reached the point where me and Steven Moffat had tickets booked to go to LA to go to the writers room to try to work out how to do it. And we were talking about more than one episode. And then it’s going to be, in fairness, the nightmare was, with the impossible of it would be to get Disney and Paramount to share it.

I always thought it had to be Strange New Worlds because I said ‘you’ve got to get the Doctor on the Enterprise’ – rather than on Discovery or something so far back. We were talking about it. Just the Doctor on the Enterprise and say, Spock on the TARDIS. Nurse Chapel on the TARDIS is one because she is a companion, isn’t she?
If they weren't planning to have La'An meet Lorna Bucket, what are we even doing here?
