STEVEN MOFFAT REVEALS COMIC RELIEF DETAILS
Steven Moffat has spoken to SFX to reveal some new details about the upcoming Doctor Who special for Comic Relief. He revealed there will be two four minute episodes shown throughout the telethon on March 18th.
Two episodes. Two mini-episodes. Very, very small episodes – maybe eight minutes in total, so that’s around four minutes each. It’s not a spoof. It’s in the style of the ones that we’ve done for Children In Need, so it’s taken seriously as a proper bit of Doctor Who – funny, but not a sketch. A little miniature story. One’s called ‘Space’ and one’s called ‘Time’, so they’re Space & Time. And there’s a moment with two Amy Ponds in it. If you’re a red-blooded male surely that’s enough! You’ve got Amy Pond flirting with herself. It’s everybody’s personal fantasy! I’m really, really pleased with them. I think they’re really good, really very funny. It’s Matt, Karen and Arthur, and there isn’t a guest character. It’s just the three of them. A moment of life aboard the TARDIS. But obviously life about the TARDIS instantly gets you into terrible jeopardy, and all of causality is threatened. As I’m sure it is every day when they get up and have their coffee.
You can see two preview pictures from the specials in our previous post here. Doctor Who: Space & Time will air on BBC One on March 18th at 7pm.
