On the last day of Comic-Con International, CraveOnline spoke with Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman about Smith’s impending departure from the series and whether he’ll come back in the future while Coleman gets ready to break in a new Doctor.
Then we caught up with “Doctor Who” showrunner, Steven Moffat who told us what to expect in the 50th Anniversary special, as well as the qualities that he wants to see in the 12th Doctor. As a bonus, Moffat also shares his advice for dealing with writer’s block!
But that’s not all! Screenwriter Mark Gatiss also dropped by to discuss the upcoming TV movie, “An Adventure In Space and Time;” which will dramatize the creation of “Doctor Who.” David Bradley (“Game of Thrones”) also shared how he prepared to step into the role of both the First Doctor and William Hartnell in the film.
