Steven Moffat: how fans saved the Doctor Who finale
Steven Moffat: how fans saved the Doctor Who finale
Steven Moffat, the creator of Doctor Who, explained
how they leaked their much anticipated season finale in which they were going
to reveal “the doctor’s biggest secret”. They sent Blu-ray copies of the finale
to 210 Doctor Who fans in America. What they didn’t expect however is that the
fans kept the most secret episode of the season a secret as well. The 210 fans
that received the finale didn’t say a word about the secrets revealed and many
more fans helped by closing down comment sections on Doctor Who fan sites in
case anybody did run their mouth, which they didn’t.
My opinion:
As a Doctor Who fan myself I had already heard about
the leaked season finale, but I hadn’t heard about how the fans themselves
willingly kept their mouths shut and letting the rest of the fans enjoy the
season finale on their own terms. I think it quite impressive that the creators
of Doctor Who didn’t even have to do anything to persuade the fans but the
loyalty of the fans really spoke for itself. And from what I could derive from
the article the gratitude is big, quite understandably.
