'Doctor Who' Season 8 Episode 4 'Listen,' Rumors & Spoilers [VIDEOS] Director Douglas Mackinnon Says This Week's Episode Is Best Yet!

This weekend's episode of Doctor Who, the 4^th of season 8 (which is entitled "Listen"), looks like one of the scariest of the entire BBC series. Thanks to some teaser trailers and images, it looks like we're dealing with some ghostly enemies this time around, but what else do we know about the next adventure with Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman? Well, thanks to a new interview with "Listen" director Douglas Mackinnon, we now know some more spoilers and that he considers "Listen" to be the best episode yet!

Mackinnon is no stranger to Doctor Who; he's directed Matt Smith, David Tennant and now Peter Capaldi. He revealed that he couldn't wait to get back on the series.

"I wanted to come back, they wanted me, and it was at the right time, as I'd just done Line of Duty for BBC2, and it's just fallen that way, very happily for me," he said. "It's a real treat to do and I'm happy to have done more than any director in the last five years. I've done three episodes this time, so I've done a quarter of the series. I was interested to see how Peter was evolving the character. Even though it's the 12th Doctor, each Doctor has to find his way to portray the Doctor. In Line of Duty, the writing was so amazing and when I discovered I was going to get "Listen," written by Steven, I felt so lucky."

So what can we expect from episode 4 this weekend?

"It's Steven at his peak, and Listen is one of the best things that he's written - ever. Even if I didn't have the privilege of directing it, I'd still say it was amazing," he explained. "Although it travels big time, through time and space, it has a big conclusion to it. It's a bit of a love letter to the show itself and really explores the Doctor in a particular way. And it's got a message for children and adults, that's beautiful and poetic."
