Doctor Who: 10 Unfair Moffat Criticisms

By Mark White /

5. He Can't Take Criticism, So He Leaves Twitter

We're lucky that we live in an age where we can communicate to stars of the screen, and they can talk back. It's just a shame that some people use this privilege for the worst. Whilst I don't think I'd like it if someone used Twitter to tell me my work was poor €“ really, I'd rather not be told that sort of thing by people €“ we can all understand why some Who fans would want to tell Moffat they don't like his regime. Some users, however, used it for making death threats. This is a man that churns out two of the BBC's biggest exports; if he reads your comments in between his busy schedule, you're extremely lucky. So why use it as a tool for bullying? Moffat did the right thing by leaving. He's as much of a role model as the Doctor is, and it was right to walk away from the noxious atmosphere that some Twitter users had created.
