Moffat On "Changing The Narrative" Of Who


As if hype wasn't already high for The Day Of The Doctor, showrunner Steven Moffat has dropped some hints about just how big of an impact the episode is possibly going to have on the series as a whole.

"A big episode can be anything that moves the plot along," Moffat told Broadcast. "My main thing [when writing the script] was that as much as we celebrate the past, we can change the narrative.

"You can't tell a story by being frightened about it."

Moffat, reveal your secrets dammit!

Moffat has spoken before about how this episode will be looking to the next fifty years of the show rather than looking back over the first fifty, but this latest comment really does make it look like The Day Of The Doctor could well be a legitimate game-changer. Moffat has also previously spoken to Empire about how little we know about The Doctor, and why he left Gallifrey in the first place. Since we know that Matt Smith is still around for Christmas, killing off The Doctor permanently seems out of the question. But it's starting to look like literally anything else goes.

There's just over three weeks to go until we find out just what he means by this.

The Day Of The Doctor stars Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jenna Coleman, Billie Piper, Jemma Redgrave and John Hurt and airs on television and select cinemas worldwide on November 23rd.
