While the BBC has not confirmed anything, a recent report from The Sun claimed that the festive special, which was expected to broadcast over the festive special, may instead air over Easter 2027 as the producers continue their search for the next person to take over the role of the Doctor. The BBC declined to comment when contacted by Radio Times.
He responded: "You will get an announcement. There is a press release lumbering through the BBC which, as you know, is like the Jurassic period and 57 people have to sign off on every single word.
"I promise you in about a week, two weeks, there will be some sort of press release, and yet I can hear the gears slowing down even as I say that. You know this place!"
"I kind of keep it running," he explained. "It's scripts, actors, casting, when you're finding Ncuti Gatwa, who had just come out of Sex Education, keeping your eye on business, like who's the next upcoming star? Oh my god, Ncuti - what a meteor of a star he is."

Gatwa departed Doctor Who a year ago in The Reality War, the final episode of season 15. The last scenes of the episode saw his Fifteenth Doctor regenerating into returning star Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler.
In a statement at the time of her return, Piper said: "It’s no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse as I have some of my best memories there.
Doctor Who is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
