BFTV has a new interview with Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat. New episodes of Doctor Who start tonight at 8 PM ET/PT on BBC America.
Whovians rejoice! It's time for more Doctor Who, and as fans eagerly await fresh adventures for the Eleventh Doctor and new companion Clara Oswald, BFTV stole a few minutes with series boss Steven Moffat to ask him about the ever-changing phenomenon that is Who - and how he got Luther creator Neil Cross to join the party.
This year is also the 50th anniversary of the franchise, and Moffat explained why he thinks the show has lasted for so long. "You can start watching Doctor Who at any point in its history. You don't have to catch up with the rest of it," he said. "It's a very simple myth. It's a man that can travel anywhere in time and space in a box bigger on the inside. That’s as much format as we have. You can join it anytime, absolutely get a hold of it and, you know, dare I say I just think it's one of the great pieces of television entertainment that's ever been.
