haven't quite managed to get to the bottom of this one yet -
but reports over the weekend in the Daily Express
suggest
Press Gang may be set to return, spawning a blog at
The Guardian. More on this once we've applied the
thumbscrews to the usual suspects...
29/07/2008:

io9,
IGN.com,
Tor.com and
blogged at
The Guardian.
22/07/2008: No
more Tintin! Juggling his work commitments, something had to
give. Moff quite rightly claims it is "the
proper duty of every British subject to come to the aid of
the TARDIS". Reported with a scandalous twist by the
Mail Online, and also at
Suite 101.
11/07/2008:
Jason Arnopp has posted some "outtakes" from his recent Moff
interview for Doctor Who Magazine - you can read this
exclusive content on

25/06/2008:
Doctor Who Magazine #397 features a 9 page interview
with Steven Moffat entitled Master of the Macabre.
Sadly, there are no scary pictures with guns this time... although the
cartoon that accompanies Production Notes more than
compensates...
20/06/2008: you can now
download two podcasts about
Jekyll
from
British Invaders.
18/06/2008: The Moff's
interview with
Big Issue Scotland is reprinted in Big
Issue Wales this week (16-22 June)
11/06/2008: And the next
award nomination is...
Jekyll,
for Best Mini Series, at the
48th Monte Carlo Television Festival (sadly, it didn't win!)
03/06/2008: we now have a
gorgeous selection of icons from
Silence in the Library, which you can find
here.
04/06/2008:
use the red setting...
01/06/2008:
Silence in the Library
has scared us witless, and promises some gob-smacking revelations to
come...
29/05/2008: McExterminate! In an
exclusive interview with
Big Issue Scotland, Steven Moffat spills the beans on the
Scottish invasion of the TARDIS...

new Team Moffat icons, courtesy of the lovely
Flip - you can find them
here.
23/05/2008: The countdown
to
Silence in the Library has begun over at the
BBC's official Doctor Who website. You also watch an extended
mid-season trailer on YouTube
here. Steven and Sue Vertue attended the gala premiere of
Never Forget last night, so we can only conclude that Doctor Who
the Musical can't be very far away...
J
20/05/2008: Firstly, my
apologies. Its taken me a few hours to get the site caught up with the
rest of the world following today's Big News, and the site counter has been
going bananas... We knew it was coming, just not precisely when. And so,
just in case anyone missed the memo...
Steven Moffat will be Lead
Writer and Executive Producer of the 5th series of
Doctor Who.
[BBC
press release] [Media
Guardian] [The
Stage] [The
Hollywood Reporter]
We are truly delighted to
be able to finally report this news as fact. The lovely
Cindy White interviewed SM last
July for
SciFi.com
and caused a flurry of speculation by reporting a certain hesitation in
answering the question of RTD's successor... and we've had to wait nearly a year before
anyone admitted it officially.
"My entire career has
been a Secret Plan to get this job. I applied before but I got knocked
back 'cos the BBC wanted someone else. Also I was seven."
The self-depreciating
humour is typical, and whilst we don't buy for one minute that Spike and
Lynda are merely the by-products of a cunning strategy spanning four
decades, we can rejoice in the fact that the fanboy gene has been
evident since Page One. We are extremely excited at the prospect
of The Moff in charge, and suspect that, amongst other things, it will
mean more cleavage and snogging on Saturday nights. And of course we are
already looking forward to Terror on Talwinning Street, because
the wheel has to turn full circle...
This website will continue
to follow and support Steven Moffat's career, whatever the project.
Doctor Who will remain an important part of our coverage, but we
have no intention of forgetting the other elements of the Moffat Master
Plan.
Very proudly celebrating
the astonishing tenacity of that seven year old Moff finally realising his
dream,
Giselle
12/05/2008:
WINNER!!! Congratulations to The Moff, who scooped his
"grown up" BAFTA for Best Writer last night the
Television Craft Awards from under the noses of some
weighty competition.
09/05/2008:
fancy an excuse to stare at The Dex for hours? Try our
all-new
SpikeJongg!
07/05/2008:
Robbed!! Sadly
Jekyll missed out on an award at the
Rose d'Or Festival this week. Time to send Mr Hyde round
to pay the judges a little visit...
29/04/2008:
we've had a quiet couple of weeks on sm.net, and so
it appears that to liven things up a bit, a certain person has only gone and won the
BAFTA Cymru Award for Best Screenwriter... "Enilledig
a 'n waedlyd BAFTA!" (apparently) We now have everything
crossed for the forthcoming
BAFTA Television Craft Awards on May 11.
06/04/2008:
we're hearing whispers that the
Screaming Angel variant from

Joking Apart Series 2 and
The Week and Pizza.
28/03/2008:
nominations for the
BAFTA Television Craft Awards were announced earlier this week...
and no prizes for guessing who made the shortlist.
Blink faces some stiff competition, with The Moff up
against TV heavyweights Tony Marchant and Jimmy McGovern.
But we'd like to be able to say "won a bloody BAFTA!" again
after 18 years, so naturally we have everything crossed. The
BAFTA Craft Awards take place on May 11.
25/03/2008: to
mark the release of
Joking Apart Series 2 on DVD, you can now play
JokingJongg. Enjoy!
26/03/2008:
it's lovely when
Press Gang unexpectedly hijacks your train journey home,
and all the nicer when there is photo of
Spike involved...
24/03/2008:
we're in the process of giving the website a little revamp,
so forgive us if things look a little wibbly wobbly for a
few days...
21/03/2008:

obviously we are reluctant to mention the chance of Yet
Another Award, but

consideration for a

31/12/2007:
Blink featured in Channel 4's Big Fat Quiz of the
Year, although only Jonathan Ross and Lily Allen
correctly remembered what happens if you blink... Rob Brydon and David Mitchell had clearly watched the story but
were fuzzy on the detail, whilst the Goth Detectives
resorted to cheating. Badly. Still, we remain dead chuffed
that the question itself makes the Weeping Angels 2007's
most memorable TV moment...
23/12/2007:
He's officially hot! The
