Information content of that – zero! You know less and less…we are subtracting information. That is my aim.

- What sort of lengths do you have to go through to protect the secrets of this episode (the 50th) in particular?
- We’re just very, very careful and we kill people.

Стивен Моффат в Тринити Колледже
возможны спойлерыIs there more to come about, as it were, Trenzalore and the battle in the Doctor’s future that led to the attempts on his life in the past? Is that what you’re asking? Yes.
Радует, что эта петля так или иначе замкнётся. Значит ли упоминание сражения то, что поле Трензалора - это поле битвы?..

возможны спойлерыПро 7х12:
What Neil’s also done in that episode is actually used the notion of being able to write a story about the Doctor in conflict with the Cybermen in a new way, to really make it a huge episode for Matt. It’s a brilliant performance, that one. It’s interesting what Neil does – he always delivers such wonderful visual sequences, as he did with ‘The Doctor’s Wife’, but one of his real strengths is that he gets right to the heart of the characters as well. In many ways that episode is as much about Matt’s Doctor in conflict with one of the most classic and famous Doctor Who monsters as it is about what the Cybermen look like.
Похоже, в эпизоде Геймана нам грозит драма про монстров и монстров.

"The Bells of Saint John" Q&A
возможны спойлерыПро монстра в финалке:
Smith: “I don’t want to give too much away but I think we might have one of those clever Moffat creations. One of the new classic monsters. And they’ve got a great name and they are so brilliant.”
Coleman: “They are. They are absolutely brilliant. They’re a monster that…they don’t chase you, they just come at you slowly. And they’ve got a style which I find really quite terrifying. They’ve got a style to them. But I think that’s all we can probably say.”
Про юбилей:
Smith: “You won’t be disappointed. It’s my cryptic way of going…no, the thing is, much as we’d love to tell you everything, I read it and I clapped at the end. I think it’s hilarious and I think it’s epic and I think it’s vast. I’m telling you nothing more. But you will not be disappointed. I think it’s going to be the biggest, the best, the most inventive, the most exciting year for the show. And I think this sсript, it delivers on all those points that you want it to for where the show is at this time. It’s brilliant.
...
It somehow manages to pay homage to everything and look forward. And I think that’s the mark, the genius of it.”
Про продолжительность юбилейного эпизода:
Moffat: “46 minutes…I’ve just said that for the sheer hell of it. Someone is going to write that down and create a whole blog of that. ‘Moffat Says 46 Minutes.’”
Тизер от Моффата:
And the Doctor’s greatest secret will be revealed. And actually will. I’m not lying. Unless I am lying, and I was lying when I said that. But I’m not.
Самый главный секрет Доктора, ага. Что у нас есть, кроме имени?
Например, причина, по которой его имя нельзя называть.
Или причина, по которой он сбежал с Галлифрея.
Первому велел бежать с Галлифрея Восьмой, чтобы спасти себя от того, чтобы остаться внутри Временной ловушки и иметь возможность её запереть?
Возможно, всё-таки он основал Тишину?
Совершил что-то ужасное?
Может быть, на самом деле Доктор - не Доктор, а его имя - не его имя?

Мэтт Смит на "Шоу Джонатана Росса"
возможны спойлерыНа вопрос о планах на 8 сезон Мэтт, в отличие от Дженны, не ответил ничего конкретного.
I go and I do the anniversary special, then I go away for a bit and then I come back and do the Christmas special.
...
It’s a year by year thing and at the moment it’s 2013 and we’ll see what 2014 holds.
Если по чесноку, я не верю в Сан и её "источники", они печатают эту историю каждый год, но всё же мне кажется, что Мэтт уйдёт на Рождество.
Про юбилей:
I have read the sсript and Steven is on fine form. It won’t disappoint. It will be undoubtedly the biggest and the best. And it will be one of the most exciting years for the show. With 3D, Steven (Moffat) is so clever. He doesn’t just throw things at the screen, I’d get bored then.
...
You might see London. The thing is with Who, you will understand it more when you have seen it, but ‘paintings’ – that is all I am saying.
Казалось бы, что можно извлечь из слова "картины"
"Портрет Дориана Грея", например. Только наоборот. Портреты остаются теми же, а Доктора вдруг стареют.
Гарри Поттер, например. И "Портрет Дориана Грея" не наоборот. Говорящие картины. Постаревшие. Красиво стыкуется с интересным 3Д, кстати.
Кстати, картина - в некотором роде история, а портрет - носитель identity.

Стивен Моффат для Press Association
возможны спойлерыWe’ve got brand new monsters the Vigil and the Whispermen and a number of different things -- the Mummy and some zombie creatures as well.
...
We’re not kidding, we are actually going to do it! We are going to reveal his biggest secret!
Забавно, но даже имея на руках 3 трейлера, идентифицировать Vigil и Whispermen пока не удаётся.

возможны спойлерыПро юбилей:
It’s a one-off piece, but there are elements to it which are different to normal episodes.
...
What [Moffat's] written is just spellbinding. It's one of the best [episodes] ever, ever, ever.
...
He’s been waiting to write this sсript for ever. I think he’s really done it justice.

Маркус Уилсон для TV & Satellite Week
возможны спойлерыПро загадку Клары:
It’s a riddle that won’t easily be cracked. I defy anybody to guess it. Steven Moffat has found a way to lead everybody down the garden path and then knock them over with surprise at the end.
А вот знаете что? Из последних версий мне больше всего понравилось предположение, что Клара - внучка Йена и Барбары.
Про страшную тайну Доктора:
It will make viewers’ jaws drop. You thought you knew everything about the Doctor? Well, you never saw this coming.
Про 7х09:
Hide has an alien that will “live in your nightmares. We spent a lot of time in the edit going, “‘Can we show that much? I’m not sure…’ It was freaky to be stood next to it on set. [Neil Cross] has created a real nightmare fantasy there.”
Может, это всё-таки те, безглазые?..
Про юбилей:
Steven has written a sсript that would make James Cameron weep. It’s a story that sprawls through space and time. It will be a huge epic.

Стивен Моффат для Entertainment Weekly
возможны спойлерыПро отношения:
Discussing Doctor Who Series 7 Part 2 the current showrunner stated that the Doctor, played by Matt Smith, is definitely "smitten" with new companion Clara, Jenna-Louise Coleman. Confirming that River Song, Alex Kingston, would return at some in the run of episodes, Moffat added that the show will make "some mileage" out of the love-triangle between the three but "not in the ways you'll think".
Ну, небанальный треугольник можно вывернуть по-разному...
Про юбилей:
It is important you don't turn it into a fanfest. We can't make this all about looking backwards. It's actually got to be the start of a new story.
I just take it a year at a time. It is knackering work. I've stopped writing other shows before, and you just want to leave - not that you hate it, but just 'I'm done'.
Останется ли Мофф на 8 сезон?..
