Okay , this is weird . news report are circulating that Doctor Who ’s showrunner , Steven Moffat , has thrown the yield of the show ’s Christmas special into chaos by lose the only copy of the playscript . Is this even potential ?
The reports popped up yesterday in the Daily Star , one of those British tabloids that oftentimes make up eldritch tarradiddle . The Star reports :
Filming for the DOCTOR WHO Christmas ( 10 ) special has been throw into jeopardy after the top - cloak-and-dagger script reportedly went lose … Executive manufacturer and jumper lead author Steven Moffat is confront a backwash against time to make a unexampled draft before take commences next calendar month .
So again we have to need … is this even potential ? Does Steven Moffat write his scripts on an old manual typewriter or something ? Does he not make substitute at all ? It seems a bit far - fetched . But then the blog Life , Doctor Who and Combom divulge that the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine has a similar tale . DWM ’s usual “ product notes ” tower is take over by Producer Piers Wenger and stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillan , because Moffat claimed the Christmas special ’s playscript had “ disappeared . ”
But asLife , Doctor Who and Combompoints out , DWM is a glossy magazine with a long turnaround clip , so these “ production promissory note ” were probably written a while ago . So it ’s entirely potential that Moffat has had time to rewrite ( or reconstruct ) the miss script in the intervening time . And he may very well have had earlier drafts laying around .
Still , the intellect boggles . It ’s enough to make you want to start a cause to post flash drive to the BBC or something .
Oh , and on a whole unrelated banknote , the BBC ’s official Doctor Who site uploadeda new gallery of picsthe other day . They ’re incredibly endearing and awful , but also unbelievably spoilery if you have n’t visualise the season conclusion yet . Do check them out .
