In the first of four BBC America interviews, Doctor Who head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat gives us an insight into the monsters and adventures that we can expect from the new series.
Q: So it is back with a bang and with Daleks from every decade. Why did you decide to kick-off the new series with a Dalek filled episode?
Steven Moffat: "We've been off the air for longer than usual, so it was an easy decision to come back with Doctor Whoat its most iconic and that means Daleks. Lots and lots of scary Daleks. There have been many monsters to face the Doctor (Matt Smith) over the years, but only one that can sum up the whole series just by being there.
Also, it's my first go at writing for them. I LOVE the Daleks, and I've held off till now. But I had what Ithought was a good idea, and couldn't resist any longer!!"
Q: Are there any new monsters to look out for and star guest appearances?
SM: "There's a terrifying Cyborg in the old West, and wait till you see what's invading Earth in episode 4. There's never been an extra-terrestrial incursion like this one!! Guest stars include David Bradley, Rupert Graves, Stephen Berkoff, Mike McShane, [Stargate SG-1's] Ben Browder, Adrian Scarbourgh and Anamaria Marinca..."
Doctor Who season seven premieres Saturday, September 1, 2012 at 9/8C with 'Asylum of the Daleks' at 9/8C on BBC America.
