Moffat is win
May. 20th, 2008 05:03 pmI'm sure you've seen it before by now but Hooraaaaaaaaaay!
Naturally, being a great writer doesn't necessarily make a good Head Writer (or Script Editor, or whatever the term is these days), either on screen or behind the scenes. But Moffatt has proven capable of guiding an entire series of his own before, and he seems a nice enough chap that I'm confident he'll treat other writers' works with respect (and cheeky enough that he won't be unable to make changes where they're needed).
It did seem pretty inevitable, though, when the first question everyone asked about series 4 was "When's the Moffatt episode?"
"My entire career has been a Secret Plan to get this job," said Steven Moffat. "I applied before but I got knocked back cos the BBC wanted someone else. Also I was seven. Anyway, I'm glad the BBC has finally seen the light, and it's a huge honour to be following Russell into the best - and the toughest - job in television. I say "toughest" cos Russell's at my window right now, pointing and laughing."
