It's the stuff kids' dreams are made of - working on Doctor Who.

But one lucky adult will have that dream come true as the BBC is currently hiring a script editor for the show.

What to Read Next

An experienced writer is being sought to "advise on all script related matters associated with the production; help manage the relationship between the writer and the production; and generate creative ideas and story ideas of the highest standard consistent with the series."

So the successful applicant will be getting their hands on unfilmed scripts and could even be penning a line or two themselves.

The BBC say the ideal candidate would have "an excellent understanding of all aspects of screenwriting, including premise, story, structure and character and an ability to apply this knowledge to working situations with writers, as well as experience of working with writers under pressure are essential for this role."

Cue thousands of applications we're sure.

Elsewhere in the world of Who, Peter Capaldi has been spotted visiting the set of Casualty while in costume.

It's likely that he just popped down to the hospital set on his lunch break; Doctor Who and Casualty are both filmed at Cardiff's Roath Lock studios.

But here's hoping we might actually see The Doctor practising a bit of medicine - maybe for a Children in Need sketch?

Doctor Who is currently filming its Christmas special, which will be aired (funnily enough) on Christmas Day. A full series will then follow in 2017.
