It’s true: Moffat is taking over Doctor Who!
What amazingly good news to wake up to! Steven Moffat is hands-down responsible for writing the best episodes for each of the three new Doctor Who series (his episodes in the fourth have yet to air, but I’m very confident).
If you’ve been watching, he wrote: “The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances” (which won the Hugo Award) in the first series, “The Girl in the Fireplace” (another Hugo Award winner) for the second, and “Blink” which was nominated for a Hugo as well as a Nebula nomination, the BAFTA Craft Award for Best Writer, and a BAFTA Cymru Award for Best Screenwriter!
He also wrote the short for the 2007 “Children In Need” special where the 10th Doctor meets the 6th Doctor. You can watch it here and it’s great:
Moffat also created the series “Jekyll” which was fantastic (and I’ve heard is coming back for a second series).
In short, he’s the perfect person to take over Doctor Who, and I’m ecstatic!
Awesome!
Blink is IMHO one of the best episodes of any show I’ve seen on television. Fantastic stuff and well deserving of the Hugo, Nebula and any other awards that it has been nominated for.
