Showrunner says new series will be a season of 'blockbuster' episodes, adding that he wants to make the Daleks scarier.

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has said the show has the capacity to be a moneyspinner for the BBC for generations to come.

 Moffat, the BBC1 show's executive producer and head writer, said the new series which returns on Saturday 3 September with Asylum of the Daleks, would be a season of "blockbuster" episodes.

 Asked about his budget for the Saturday teatime show, Moffat said: "I"m never going to say I've got enough. That's like asking would you like to be more happy, of course I'm going to say yes I want more money.
