Steven Moffat on casting:

"Everything else about a show, other than casting - however great or admirable or excellent it is - can only sort of really be admired. People don't really have a relationship with great writing or great production or great art direction or great direction. They just sort of admire it. What people fall in love with, oddly ( Read more... )

Brilliant Steven Moffat interview, 30 minutes, over at youtube. (If you go to selenak's interesting post about it, you'll find a Paul Cornell interview as well, but I haven't heard that yet, because it's audio only and I dread things that are. *g* My brain doesn't register spoken English fast enough to figure it out half the time without visual cues like ( Read more... )

Comment on this post and I will pick seven of your interests. You then explain them in your journal and re-post.

axa picked interests, but she was lazy (and knows me too well), so she only picked five. If someone else wants to pick two more, that's fine. :-)

I've been watching some more Doctor Who - last night I was at axa's watching eps 6-10 of the new series (thank again, settiai!) and before that I had warmed up by watching the old eps roseveare sent me all that time ago. Well, most of them anyway - I'm still only halfway through the TV movie ( Read more... )

Have been browsing the net (TWoP, Crack Van, Outpost Gallifrey - you name it) and have one lovely quote and one question.

The quote is actually only borderline DW-ish, but it does come from the Rose thread on TWoP:

Steven Moffat (writer of 1-9, 1-10 and 2-4) cheerfully admits the central character in Coupling is "Me. Only better looking, more ( Read more... )

So settiai started uploading Doctor Who episodes, bless her soul, and I managed to get "Rose" working on my computer. (When I say "working", I mean that the sound was about ten seconds ahead of the image, but never mind that.) The next few eps promptly refused to play, so I coaxed axa into downloading them and letting me see them at her place. The resulting ( Read more... )
