As yet we don't know the reason for him deleting his account, but I can certainly understand where he is coming from. I dont know why I feel the need to update everyone ont he fact that Im about to have a cup of coffee..... anyway, if it is just a simple case of Twitter being a distraction then good for him.
Matt Smith has said that Steven Moffat's plans for the next series of Doctor Who will leave fans teary-eyed.
Season seven hasn't even started yet and already we are discussing season eight. In fact the new season (7) is due to begin the end of this month,with six episodes airing this year and eight in 2013. However it doesn't stop us wanting to know what else Moffat may have in store for us.
Smith revealed to British tabloid Newspaper The Sun that Moffat has already pitched ideas for the next series to him, and that fans are in for a treat.
Matt went on to say: "His first episode sounds great.It hasn't been written yet but the idea is as brilliant and as mental as you'd expect from Steven. So there's a lot to look forward to."
"When Steven was going to pitch the next season to me not long ago, he said, 'Are you ready to cry?'"
Smith also discussed the ongoing plans for the show's 50th anniversary celebrations next year, and claims that fans won't be disappointed with what's in store.
He says: "We want to do 50 years - and everyone that's been associated with the show - justice. We want to go, 'Look, world, here is Doctor Who. It's 50 years old, a science fiction show, still going and going from strength to strength'.
"Steven will do something brilliant. He'll do something grand, or maybe something very simple, but he'll come to it as a fan. He'll go, 'What would I want to see?'"
Watch the trailer for series seven of Doctor Who below:
Steven Moffat has again gone on record saying there is not going to be a Doctor Who movie, while Harry Potter directer claims there will be.... its the rumour that doesn't seem to want to go away. There seems to be a constant back and forth between Moffat and Harry Potter Directer David Yates. While Yates claims he will be directing the movie, Moffat says there is no movie.
"There isn't a film. That was all some weird fantasy going on somewhere," Steven said.
He adds: “That whole proposal was not true, did not happen. I can say that with authority because, as far as the BBC is concerned, I’m the voice of Doctor Who. So if I say it, it’s true. The BBC own Doctor Who and, for the moment, I run it for them. So I can assure you definitively that was all nonsense — not the idea of making a film, we’d love to make a film, but the idea of a rebooted continuity, a different Doctor. That’s writing the book on how to destroy a franchise. You don’t behave like that with it. Not ever.”
Asked if David Yates is involved, Moffat replied: “I don’t think he was ever signed to it. I never signed him, so he’s not. But I think he’s [expressed] an interest in doing it and he’s a very fine director and I think he’d certainly be someone that would be on the list for directing such a project. I’m a big fan of his. But the project as he describes it would not happen. It was all a bit more off the cuff than it seemed to be.”
Steven said there would "hopefully" be a film at some future date, and it would star whoever was playing The Doctor at the time.
"It will be absolutely run by the Doctor Who production office in Cardiff. It will feature the same Doctor as on television."
I am still here, just this past couple of weeks have been incredibly busy for me and Ive had very little time to build anything. There is some DW news I want to post, but again its having time to actually get to sit down and write....
So in the mean time the BBC officially released photos of Matt Smiths new get up and new companion for the Christmas special... I rather like the waist coat.
And this is exactly why I LOVE having Steven Moffat holding the reigns because he is such a fanboy....
Filming is underway right now, and in fact this photo was taken on set at Magram Castle in Wales, where I've been as part of Ghost Hunters International. It has also been used several times during the years of Doctor Who.
