Daily Update: 26th July

- Today's daily update focuses heavily on Episode 10 of series 6, "The Girl Who Waited" by Tom Macrae. 


- Matt Smith has this to say about said episode: It's this mad, trippy, Kubrick-y sort of episode. But that's what Doctor Who at it's best should be. I think that's what they had in the '70's [and] that's what episode ten... does. It feels really trippy and weird." 


-Macrae has recently joined Twitter (@tommacwriter) and has today been giving some small teaser for his episode: 


"My ep was NEVER called 'The Green Anchor', but the Green Anchor is very, VERY important! And also the best place to be." 


"Amy's favourite cat was called Biggles. What's important is - that's the name she DIDN'T use later on..." 


- In other news, Moffat spoke about a Madame Vastra spin-off after the success of the character in "A Good Man Goes to War".  



“I instantly pitched it to Ben Stephenson [Controller, Drama Commissioning],” showrunner Steven Moffat exclusively tells SFX. “He just said ‘…Yes!’. And then I said ‘I obviously don’t have time to do this…’ [laughs].”

 


“I think I might revisit them,” reveals Moffat. “They were great fun to write. Obviously the first person to think about a spin-off was me, when I was writing ‘A Good Man Goes To War’… A Victorian Silurian? Her lesbian maid? Come on!

 


“I was pleased by the reaction to them, but not surprised. They really cut through as characters, given how little screentime they had. I certainly wouldn’t be averse to them returning. It’s just a thing that worked, isn’t it? I love that Victorian setting, and having kicked it out of Sherlock Holmes I can always kick it in somewhere else!”
