Doctor Who’s Steven Moffat Recalls Why He Left Twitter

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.

In a YouTube interview with his son, and featuring his wife (and Sherlock co-producer) Sue Vertue, Doctor Who Executive Producer Steven Moffat has answered a fun Q&A session, which enabled him to recall and explain for a few moments just why he quit the Twitter social network back in 2012.

Of the incident, Moffat recalls

“I know a lot of people think I was getting loads of abuse, but the truth is I was getting tons and tons of lovely stuff… really, really nice… What happened was that people I knew in the real world were trying to communicate with me on Twitter, and I would never see their tweets.

“I was one day trying to work out if I could just put the people I really knew into a different column so that I could see them, and I just thought ‘oh to hell with it, I’ve got enough on my plate with writing so I’ll just get rid of my Twitter account.'”

Elsewhere in the video, you can hear Moffat’s thoughts on time travel, answering questions on relationship dealbreakers, what he is if “you are what you eat” and much more.
