Wow. Incredibly insightful and honest. A lot of accepted wisdom in fandom is now officially debunked. I'll confess that I used to be very bitter about The War Doctor concept (however much you feel about it, RTD very much originally wrote The Time War as a conflict any Doctor would be involved in and it backpedalled a lot of Eight's development) - but learning just how much it came out of necessity, I can't help but soften on it a bit, given the conditions he was working under.

I enjoyed watching those, I think the part that got me most was while Moffat speaks about interacting with fandom, it left me feeling quite sad about how things have developed.
On the point of The War Doctor, I was always quite a fan of the story and the idea, and I can see why, at the time and situation Moffat was in, The War Doctor was a great solution, but I don't think it was a necessity for Who, there were many different directions it could have gone in, it was just a necessity born of the moment, and from where I stand, an inspired and brilliant one.

Fascinating; thanks for sharing this. Steven's words about the paradigm Daleks are incredibly honest and self-deprecating. Is this the first admission from on-high that the new look was a mistake? Possibly, but he accepted it graciously and on-the-nose.
Scheduling, the Fiftieth anniversary, the War Doctor - all covered in an articulate, erudite and entertaining manner. But his words about the 'impossibly small number' of fans who behave in an inappropriate manner online hits the nail squarely on the head, 100%. Fascinating stuff, cannot wait for part three!

If your aim is criticise his actions as inconsistent with the quote, then if you watched the video you would see that his words are not inconsistent with his actions.

Quite a frank interview from Moffat, he admits where he may have dropped the ball sometimes, but very articulate too. Fascinating stuff.

But well done, thanks for proving his point about the attitude of online fans.

If you're too busy to watch the video on which this thread is based, I'll try to answer the question in a way pertinent to this forum. A while back, there as a certain poster here who hated Steven Moffat's vision for the show; hated every story arc, artistic decision, casting decision, everything. I won't mention the poster's name, even though for one reason or another, he doesn't post here anymore and hasn't done for some time. He would issue his dislike of everything Moffat did as a kind of challenge to those who enjoyed the show, and start up threads concentrating on what he saw as 'plot holes' (he was often the only contributor, other than those who explained to him that often, he was mistaken and the plot holes were actually nothing of the sort). I'm not knocking him; if he wants to come to a Doctor Who forum and slate Doctor Who, that's none of my business - but if other posters of a similar minority mindset clogged up Moffat's twitter account in a similar way, I don't blame him for thinking, as he put it, 'sod this!' Know what I mean?

Interesting comment about casting for 11
Gender change all Chibnail's idea Moffatt used Missy/Master as a test run
Still don't agree on his thinking on Clara

I wouldn't be hugely, entirely surprised if he pens another script or two for the television show at some stage. Anyway - a terrific and very entertaining interview. Thank you for sharing, and thank you Steven Moffat (because I know he reads my posts!!!).

Hope if anything, people will understand listen now and that clara didnt teach the doctor about fear. Anyways great interview, i really do think he was a great show runner even if not all his ideas worked out. Still i personally loved the majority of what he did and i think, in hindsight, people will be a lot less harsher on his era. At least in comparrison to the fan concensous on JNT for example.
