Every year, just before 'Doctor Who' becomes part of our weekends again, the Big Moff gathers his subjects working in the media and gives an interview. Or vice versa. This year's most interesting read comes from Collider. And sadly, it features the general dull 'Jenna-Louise Coleman'-questions (what do you like about her, why did she get the job - because she's terrific AND a great actress, just in case you wondered ect., ect.) but also some more interesting ones. And no, I'm not referring to Moffat's most favourite episode; seriously, he is the showrunner of 'Who'. He is paid for saying that the next one's the best!
Nevertheless, Moffat is also offered the chance to talk about more interesting stuff, like why he thinks that the Doctor, and the show, needs an excellent companion, or how he manages to come up with the idea for his genuinely creepy monsters, what he thinks of purely historical adventures and his initial idea of bringing back the ice warriors, and so on. Of course he has to say also a few words on 'Doctor Who's 5o-year anniversary, and its function, plus, the cherry on the cake is that tongue-tied Moffat promises to reveal Clara's secret within the next 8 episodes. Which is great news. Somehow I'm starting to tire of far stretched story-archs. River's sub-plot has become complex enough to follow. So, all in all, it's certainly worth reading that somewhat long-ish interview.
