Steven Moffat Talks New Job
June 4, 2008 by Admin · Leave a Comment
15 days since Steven Moffat was announced as the next lead writer and executive producer of Doctor Who the incumbent gave his first interview to the new issue of Big Issue Scotland, the weekly magazine sold by the homeless in Scotland.
In the interview, Moffat compares his replacing Russell T Davies with fellow Scot Gordon Brown succeeding Tony Blair as Prime Minister:
“You wouldn’t immediately say yes to that job. You imagine that you would say yes immediately, but it’s a huge job and you have to think about it,” he tells the magazine. “I was kind of the other contender, which puts me sort of in the position of Gordon Brown. And look how that turned out. The surly Scot comes in and it all goes to ******.”
Unfortunately the full story can only be read in the pages of Big Issue Scotland.
