It's the 50th year of Doctor Who and look what's going on! We're up in the sky and under the sea! We're running round the rings of an alien world and then a haunted house. There's new Cybermen, new Ice Warriors and a never before attempted journey to the centre of the TARDIS. And in the finale, the Doctor's greatest secret will at last be revealed! If this wasn't already our most exciting year it would be anyway!
Steven MoffatI can't see what's wrong about assuming intelligence in your audience and what's bad news about being rewarded for assuming that.
Steven MoffatThe trouble with a series as it gets older is it can feel like a tradition, and tradition is the enemy of suspense, and it's the enemy of comedy. It's the enemy of everything, really. So you have to shake it up.
Steven MoffatWell, the world is vastly counted in favour of men at every level - except if you live in a civilised country and youโre sort of educated and middle-class, because then youโre almost certainly junior in your relationship and in a state of permanent, crippled apology. Your preferences are routinely mocked. Thereโs a huge, unfortunate lack of respect for anything male.
