Who needs a moderator when you have Julie Gardner on stage?
Both Julie and Steven Moffat where great panelists.
Moffat gave out dating advice and that was the running joke throughout the session.
Moffat told a hilarious story of how the US immigration officers just don't want foreigners coming into the country.
(Gardner said in jest, if anyone wants spoilers for upcoming Doctor Who episodes, have the immigration officers question Moffat cuz he sings like a bird to authority! Then I think someone said that TSA were in the back of the room waiting for him. LOL.)
Julie recounted how hard it is to film Moffat stories -- particularly "The Girl in the Fireplace" where the Doctor had to jump through the mirror on a horse.
Moffat will be very, very busy. He'll be chained/taped to his desk and writing. In fact, Gardner says the only reason why RTD wasn't able to attend was because he was busy writing his script for Torchwood!!!
Asked if Moffat will be doing a Torchwood story, Gardner basically said he'll be very, very busy with Doctor Who and will be chained to his desk writing.
No spoilers for the upcoming Doctor Who special. BUT, they gave the audience a treat by showing us an extended version of the trailer for the upcoming Doctor Who special that'll air in the spring. (It's spring, right?)
They showed it twice to the delight of the audience!
Moffat has a great sense of humor. He had us going throughout the session.
Gardner. Well, you know, she can go on and on and on. Like I said, there was no need for a moderator!
(Besides, that guy from the LA Times was horrible! He kept showing up at all the Brit shows panels!!!!)
Onward to the pics!!!!
