Moffat: Forgetting Matt's Doctor Was Challenging

Steven Moffat has spoken in DWM 482 about how he found it hard to forget how to write 'the Matt Doctor' and how his most challenging aspect of Series 8 was introducing Peter Capaldi's Doctor. 

He says: "Creating a new doctor - or rather, helping Peter to" was his most challenging aspect of the 2014 series and that "trying to forget how to write the Matt Doctor - who was welded into my brain, and still lives there, making endless cups of tea, and forgetting to drink them because he saw a shiny thing - and embrace a whole new version of the character (Capaldi's Doctor). Oh. That's challenging. And exciting, of course. But 'excitement' is what what we call 'fear', once we've survived it."
