A Look Into the Future – Matt Smith, Steven Moffat and Series 5

By , , and

Posted on

We talk about what the future might hold for Doctor Who as Matt Smith prepares to take possession of the TARDIS key and Steven Moffat steps up to the position of show runner.

How will the youngest Time Lord in the history of the show measure up? Who should his companion be? And what sort of changes (if any) can we expect to see in the tone and direction of the series as a whole?

We discuss this and, er… High School Musical in the latest edition of A Podcast of Impossible Things!
