Steven Moffat on his Doctor Who Future

Steven Moffat has spoken about his future as Doctor Who’s lead writer.

In an interview with Assignment X Moffat gave some thoughts on how long he thinks he be running both Sherlock and Doctor Who.

He said: “You never know that in advance. If we weren’t enjoying it, or we didn’t think there was anything good left to do, we’d stop, but we haven’t reached that point yet, is all we can say.

“I can envision just doing [Sherlock] for a while – for quite a while, possibly. The fact that we only do it occasionally means it’s not swamping anyone’s schedule.

He adds: “Eventually, I’ll stop doing Doctor Who, because it stops me doing anything else. But Sherlock doesn’t swamp my schedule, doesn’t swamp anyone. So I could imagine we’ll come back and do Sherlock fairly often for many years, rather than very often for a few years.”
