Doctor Who Magazine 515 - End of an Era



It's the end of an era, as Doctor Who Magazine looks back on the Steven Moffat years in issue 515.
​
With his last episode due to air at Christmas, DWM asked Doctor Who‘s head writer
and showrunner Steven Moffat if he ever thought, back in 2004, when he
wrote The Empty Child, that he’d still be writing for the series in 2017?

“No, God, no!” he exclaims. “God, no! I also didn’t think I’d do the showrunning job
for more than three years, and I’m here after six series. Yes, I’ve been writing Doctor
Who stories since 2004. That’s a hell of a long time. When I wrote The Empty Child/The
Doctor Dances, I wondered if I’d ever write another Doctor Who story. I was very keen
to, I really wanted to. I remember asking, ‘Would you have me back next year…?’”

So what’s next for Steven after he finishes with the Doctor? He’s staying tight-lipped.

“I’m looking forward to the idea of not having to automatically say no to everything else!
Whether that’s writing jobs, or weekends away. I can write different things. I’m looking
forward to that, hugely. But I am so glad it happened. I’d have been miserable if I’d
never got to write Doctor Who! It’s been amazing. Of course it’s been amazing.”
