Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann have told journalists in New Zealand that they'd like to see Peter Jackson direct a story for Doctor Who, amid celebrations of the series' 50th anniversary.

According to Stuff, the trio agree with Who star Matt Smith's idea that The Lord of the Rings director should get involved with the show, with any episodes he's involved in being filmed in New Zealand.

“
I think he would be above trying to make anything trendy. The story would be strong. He would be ideal to make it; he's above the kind of pressure, who could lean on him?

There's a chance they may get their wish, too; it's been revealed that Jackson recently met the show's executive producer and head writer Steven Moffat. Though obviously he's knee-deep in Hobbits at present.

Baker, who played the sixth Doctor, said, "I could only think he would make an epic Doctor Who story. I would like to be cast, not as the Doctor, even if it's inside a furry suit. Maybe I could be a villain."

McCoy backed up this sentiment by offering a ringing endorsement to the man who directed him in The Hobbit. He asserted, "He knows what he's doing. If he was in charge of the budget he'd most likely want to film it on the moon and has the ability to do it. If he was using the resources of Weta they would make some amazing magic.

Can't be much worst then some of the newer Doctor Who episodes.

I think it's actually grammatically incorrect to bitch about New Who and not include the term 'in my day,' italics necessary, sentence-level stress on 'my.' Would you care to rephrase?

Well, seeing as I only started watching the old Doctor Who episodes after my friend had me watching the new episodes, nope.
