jeff coupling
as the next sidekick, plsthx
ps
he wrote the best episodes of the revival. Happy days.
yay!
whenever i see mention of this "moffat" character
it makes me think about brilliant Doctor Who would be if Aidan Moffat wrote it.
Perhaps a little dour though.
ANd maybe a bit too sexual for the Saturday tea-time slot.
Fnarr
You could actually imagine Aidan Moffat discussing getting some Saturday tea-time slot
i remember
one time when me and some friends were playing football with some "lads" at the park and we didnt know thier names so I made up names for them, and one of them looked like stephen moffat and he thought i called him fat. So he spat at my shoes.
Fun things you can do with moffat.
so there will be another series?
tere goes my theory that rose would come back and the doctor would run off and marry her and it would all be happily ever after!!
More
"The appointment makes Moffat Doctor Who's showrunner - the key creative force behind the programme - on the fifth series, which will be broadcast on BBC1 in 2010."
Full story's here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/may/20/bbc.television2
Yeah but why the year off?
i remember reading that Tennant wanted a year off
from doing a full series, so they're doing a couple of specials instead.
i thought Tennant was leaving though?
Yeah, it seems ludicrous to bow to his whims
when the Doctor can be replaced at any time.
i'll replace you at any time!
actually the best news all day
it will get all scary!
^Pretty much this
The episodes he's directed have generally been really good - Blink, Empty Child, etc.. Really looking forward to the next series now!
Moffet is also writing
the scripts for the 3 upcoming Tintin films, directed by Stephen Spielberg and Peter Jackson.
Let's hope there as good as "The Melty Man Cometh"...
good news
Dr.Who has the potential to put some really odd original innovative stuff onto mainstream telly and Davies seems happy to have the show retreading old ground and sticking to a safe formula.
This may be the best TV-news of the year.
The one guy who makes Dr Who look brilliant has the job of doing it full-time. Obviously he was the logical choice but I'm delighted they chose him nonetheless.
