выдержки из мофф-интервью

I asked Steven for his thoughts on Peter Davison's special The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.
"I loved it. I love it, I'm in it! I'm the villain as far as I can see! [Laughs] Absolutely adorable. It was actually my idea to do that, I had bumped into Peter at a party and he said, 'I'm going to do this little fan video about us all trying to get into the 50th. Do you mind and would you be in it?' And I said I'll give you a budget and a camera crew and some time and why don't you make it for real? Make it for us? It solved a problem for me. I wanted all The Doctor's properly involved, if they were willing, as best they could.

Regarding Billie Piper in The Day of the Doctor Steven stated:
"I thought the story of Rose, which was beautiful, was done. I didn't want to add to it, I didn't feel qualified to add to it. That was always Russell's [T Davies] story. The way Russell ended it in The End of Time was perfect. I didn't want to stick another bit in. It would be wrong.

But we did want Billie Piper, one of the absolute heroes of Doctor Who, back in the show without interfering in the story of Rose Tyler. I think I might of spoiled something if I had done that. Billie represents the rival of Doctor Who, more than anyone else. It's all about Billie, it's her show for two years. It's really startling watching The Runaway Bride and you're going, 'Where is she? Where is she? Where is the star of the show?'

I asked Steven about the use of two themes from the Russell T Davies era which he picked up on in The Day of the Doctor - Elizabeth I and the Time War. Did he chat with his predecessor about this?
"It's difficult with Russell 'cos he doesn't like spoilers. Even when we worked together on the show we tried not to spoil each other. I did at one point [contact RTD], we had to co-ordinate a bit around some stuff and I did tell him, just because I'm possibly treading on your toes, this is roughly, very roughly what we're going to do. I think he wrote back saying, 'I read half your email and I stopped!'

He did know about Elizabeth I, I love that gag in The Shakespeare Code where that happens. I love it when David Tennant walks out and does a bit about Queen Bess. I thought it was hilarious. And I kept it going in The Beast Below, and I wrote a line into Amy's Choice. To top it off and say that's what she was, a Zygon, I think is fun.

In general, he doesn't want to know. He always gets in touch after an episode airs to enthuse away like a fanboy. In years to come, when it's not me [as showrunner] I'll hand it all over and not want to be spoiled.

I asked if Rusty D had been in touch after The Day of the Doctor?
"He's in touch instantly. Usually the first email or text I get is from Russell.
