Moffat in DWM#484: “I’m Writing Quite Funny This Year”

Philip Bates 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.

The new Doctor Who Magazine is out today and features an exclusive in-depth interview with showrunner, Steven Moffat!

In it, Moffat explains that we’re going to see a new side to the Twelfth Doctor in Series 9: “We’re not bringing him back exactly as we left him, at all. I think that was already evident at Christmas. He’s left some of the burden of being a superhero of the universe behind. So I’m pushing him – I’m writing quite funny this year – I’m pushing him the other way…”

The issues is packed with further articles exploring the history of Who including an interview with Eighth Doctor, Paul McGann, including his thoughts on Peter Capaldi and how he’s made him reevaluate this own Time Lord incarnation. Aside from this, there’s also a preview of Dark Eyes 4, with contributions from Alex Macqueen, aka the Master.
