Steven Moffat 談新伴侶 - 超時空奇俠

Steven Moffat discusses at length just how the addition of Jenna-Louise
Coleman changes the dynamic between the Doctor and the companion:

She fit beautifully with Matt in a very different way from Karen [Gillan].
For one thing, she's little and so Matt is suddenly terribly tall. It feels
like a bigger age gap somehow. He suddenly is the irascible older man, which
Matt does extremely well despite the fact he's 30. As for the twist, I didn't
exactly know how they'd connect in the first draft [of Jenna's first episode,
"Asylum of the Daleks"] but I did quite early on. I pitched the idea of how
we were going to do all this far in advance and I'm saying no more than that.

He also discusses what returning writer Neil Gaiman will do with the Cybermen
in the season's penultimate episode, as well as some general hints for the
second half of the season:

I wanted to make them creepier, and a bit more active. I thought we had gone
as far as we could with the stumpy Cybermen. I wanted to do the colder,
deadlier version and I was interested in Neil giving it a ghost-story feel.
Neil's a good ghost story writer.

The first five episodes of the season were promoted as a series of movies,
complete with theatrical posters. Will that continue?
We're really pushing that very hard. It's nearly killed us doing it. We're
convalescing. But wait until you see the range. We've got the best alien
planet we've ever done. We've got a submarine. Seriously. There's even a
proper modern urban thriller in London.

重點:

1. Jenna-Louise Coleman 跟 Matt Smith 的身高差距使 Matt 感覺比較老

2. Neil Gaiman 會寫一集恐怖鬼故事風格的賽爆人劇情

3. 接下來的劇情會有「最棒的外星球」、「潛水艇」以及「倫敦恐怖故事」
