Doctor Who Series 9: 10 Things To Expect From Moffat's Last Series
7. The Structure Of Series 10 Will Differ To Series 9
I was very happy to get rid of two-parters when I did, and very happy to bring them back. Something else will happen .
Expect something more akin to the RTD era; a mix of single episodes and two parters. Series Nine was refreshing for its ability to flesh out stories so expect multi-part episodes to be a staple of Moffat's final series. And if Moffat decides not to write the 2017 Christmas special - assuming there is one - then perhaps we might get another three-episode story arc like Series Nine's Face The Raven - Hell Bent or Series Three's Utopia - Last Of The Timelords to send off the Moffat era. But what that structure will look like remains a mystery. A feature length opener - particularly if the companion is not introduced in the 2016 Christmas special, followed by a mix of stories - maybe even a mid-series three-parter? It kind of depends on the budget but if given that the BBC is saving money this year, perhaps we're in store for some big movie-style adventures.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
