"It's like joining a family. It's a great thing to be involved with," Boyce told the site. "I grew up loving Doctor Who, and my teenage son was a big fan of it too."
As with the other season 8 writers and directors, Boyce is excited to see what Peter Capaldi will bring to the table as the Twelfth Doctor.
"It's a pleasure to write it and I'm looking forward to seeing Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor. I'm hoping there's a bit of Malcolm Tucker in there too," Boyce said, referencing Capalid's stint on The Thick of It.
