"The BBC is currently in talks with fantasy author Michael Moorcock to write a new Doctor Who novel, it has been confirmed. Moorcock, who has written a number of books including the Elric of Melnibon\u00E9 series, revealed on his official website that the title will appear sometime in 2010.  &amp;quot;Looks like it&amp;#039;s official,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll be doing a new Doctor Who novel for appearance, I understand, by next Christmas.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;Still have to have talks etc with producers and publishers, but we should be signing shortly. Should be fun.&amp;quot;  Moorcock also admitted that he had watched the show since it began in 1963. &amp;quot;[I] haven&amp;#039;t liked all the Doctors and after Peter Davison [I] stopped watching regularly until the new BBC Wales series,&amp;quot; he stated. &amp;quot;Since the Tom Baker series, a lot of my ideas crept into the stories and so in many ways I&amp;#039;ll be writing a story which already echoes my own work.&amp;quot;  He added: &amp;quot;I do have to submit it to editors so they can make sure it fits into the canon and this, of course, is understandable. By saying it wasn&amp;#039;t a tie-in I did, of course, mean that it would be an original novel, not one which was linked to previous stories.&amp;quot;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
