Moffat: We’re Not Looking for a New Doctor

David Power 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.

Contrary to certain rumours, in a recent interview with Daily Record at a pre screening of Series 9’s opening episode The Magician’s Apprentice, Steven Moffat confirmed that they’re not currently looking for a new Doctor.

He stated:

“We’ve not got our eye on other Doctors. I’m sure Peter is going to be Doctor Who forever. We simply aren’t looking. It doesn’t stop people applying!”

When asked what he could say about the upcoming special, he replied “That box is bigger on the inside. Hopefully everyone will look forward to all of it – the monsters, the adventures an awful lot of running and explosions.”

He went on, discussing the difficulty (or otherwise) of conceiving ideas for the show.“If it were difficult to come up with ideas for Doctor Who it’s time to stop doing it. You have the whole universe to blow up so I’ve not run out yet.”

Finally, when asked about if Steven would like to have a cameo in Doctor Who, Moffat revealed that he’s already made such an appearance!

“I’m a terrible actor. you don’t want to see me on that screen. I’m neither good at acting or beautiful. I once played a Dalek in a Comic Relief sketch I wrote. I hated it. I don’t want to be on screen. I don’t like it.”

We know; we’ve seen The Five-ish Doctors (Reboot)…
