Alex: How did you get to do Doctor Who?
Mark: I was asked to do it. I didn’t even have to audition, they just asked me to do it. That’s probably because I was on a series called Battlestar Galactica and a series called Firefly and a series called Dollhouse which were known to the writers and producers of Doctor Who. I probably had the coolest role in Battlestar. It was the hardest, strangest role I’ve ever done.

Moffat: Not as much 'arc plot' as 'story of the week'

AOLTV: But you know, these longer arced things, you have an idea for where they're going.

Steven Moffat: If you actually look at the number of minutes we devote to an arc plot, compared to our story of the week, it's heavily weighted in favor of the story of the week. In fact, the biggest counter to that would be the opening two-parter [for season 6], because there's a lot of arc stuff in that. But even with that, if that's all you ever saw, you know, there's a whole alien invasion, there's a new monster, and [much of the story is] resolved. But it varies. Sometimes you think, "That'd be a cool villain to turn up." Sometimes you just think, "I want to do pirates."

I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
