We’re just a couple of days away from Doctor Who‘s Christmas special, “The Snowmen.” And while we’re all excited about it, you may be wondering just what we can expect for the final eight episodes of the season that will air early in 2013.
Producer Steven Moffat, taking to SFX, gives us a taste of what we can expect.
“We have Doctor Who taking on the modern urban thriller, which is not very much like anyone else’s modern urban thriller! We’ve got your base-under-siege story in a new way. We’ve gone all-out to give you a fantastic alien planet, which is looking absolutely amazing. We’ve got a cracking ghost story, a really cracking ghost story” he says. “We’ve got Neil Gaiman doing the Cybermen – part of the impulse there was to say ‘Have we fully exploited the creepy factor of the Cybermen yet?’ I thought Neil would be a good match for that.”
“You’re going to see ‘Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS,’ with more of the TARDIS than you’ve ever seen before. We’ve got Diana Rigg and junior Diana Rigg in an absolutely mental story by Mark Gatiss – all period drama will pale next to this monstrosity of nonsense! It’s absolutely glorious. You’ll watch other period dramas and say ‘When are they going to do the scary bit?'” Moffat adds. “And then there’s the finale, which has got some serious fanboy-pleasing going on in it. My aim for it – which I’m about to humiliate myself at the tone meeting by saying – is to have slightly more than you think could possibly happen in one episode. Slightly more treats than you think you could be allowed.”
So, are you excited yet?!?
