Moffat in the Writer’s Room

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

With a Weeping Angel at the bottom of the garden of his new house, Steven Moffat has, for the first time in his life, a proper office for writing.

This snippet, and more (including how he deals with Writer’s block, how Blink and A Scandal in Belgravia were both filmed in the same house and an explanation of how the showrunner job doesn’t actually exist), can be gleaned from a new interview with the Doctor Who and Sherlock chief over at the BBC Writersroom, a place where people like me and assistant editor Phil Bates spend far too much time dreaming of doing something that isn’t copywriting.

Running to just over eleven minutes, this is an interesting look into how Moffat works, why he writes and what he would take should he ever be stranded on a desert island (and let’s face it, how likely is that?). You’ll also learn that Moffat is absolutely aware of how television is about to change (and is changing) due to things like Netflix and tablets.

Head over to the BBC Writersroom to watch the full interview…
