Moffat Talks New Sherlock & Doctor Who Episodes

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.

Sherlock‘s 2015 special has been shooting recently, and chief writer and Executive Producer Steven Moffat has revealed that he doesn’t know when the episode is likely to air!

Speaking to the Radio Times, Moffat – who is overseeing Doctor Who and Sherlock productions concurrently – can only say that “I know it won’t be for a while, and I suspect it’s going to be end of year-ish, and as everyone has seen, it’s Victorian.”

The special also marks the first official co-write between Moffat and Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss.

“It’s the first time that Mark and I officially have written it together. Unofficially we always write it together, but it’s the first time officially we’ve actually sat in a room to write it.”

Moffat – who you can see talking above – also revealed that there are some new writers lined up for Doctor Who Series 9, which is currently in the middle of filming two episodes by Toby Whithouse.

“We’re filming our first two parter at the moment, which in fact are going to be episodes three and four of the new series, a brilliant script by Toby. Then there’s a couple more lined up from other writers, some new, some old, some middle aged frankly. It’s a little bit early to start teasing it but I’m a little bit excited. I think we’ve got some very, very good stuff going on.”

New writers? About time, we say. What do you think? Who would you like to see writing on Doctor Who for the first time?
