Moffat: Series 9 Is Tonally the Same
Last month there was some question over a Steven Moffat quote where he seemed to suggest that the Twelfth Doctor would lose his harsher edge and be lighter in Series 9.
The original quote stated
However Moffat, recently speaking to EW, said that things were misinterpreted: “I told the [show’s] writers, don’t just write him mean, write him funny—because he’ll make any joke fly.”
He adds: “As ever, Doctor Who is a combination of complete daft silliness and loads of people getting slaughtered in the early evening. Tonally, [next season is] very much the same. Peter is getting stronger and more confident in the role.”
