Here ’s a new TV topographic point . [ viaComing shortly ]
In a Q&A , Steven Moffat talked a portion about season 8 , including the character of Missy and how she came about :
The idea come before the cast . I thought ‘ And she ’ll be a woman ’ then having said that , I then got lost for several calendar month locomote ‘ and what does that mean ? So what ? ’ That ’s precisely the kind of gimmick I ’m always say you should n’t do , so what does it mean ? I ’ve always said in the past we cast the person , you cast an individual , you do n’t cast a gender , that ’s bananas – as she would say .
as luck would have it , I was grumping around the function one day and I found a list for another part and Michelle Gomez was on the list and I recall ‘ oh my God that would be brilliant , Michelle is the complete person , I can write it now . I know what she ’s locomote to be like ’ , only to fall upon they ’d already offer her the other part . fortuitously she turn it down because she was interfering – you assume when someone turn a part down because they ’re busy that they ’re consist and just do n’t want to work with you , because I cognise her and that would be a reasonable reaction – but then she sent me an electronic mail about a calendar week later on that say ‘ I ’m so horrified I had to sprain it down , I really really need to be in Doctor Who . If you ever have a part for a razor - cheekboned villainess … ’ and I thought right , that ’s so happening . I would n’t even talk over anybody else . It had to be Michelle , and I conceive , going by the response , that was correct .
That made sense of it , what really mattered is that we got an arch - enemy performance that I think matches the amazing Roger Delgado and John Simm , those are star performance and that ’s another one that ’s every bit as good . She ’s alarming and she ’s scary , she ’s exceedingly funny , and you still vaguely side with her when she belt down harmless , likeable , defenceless citizenry .
He also answered the interrogative about why the show keeps going back to the young woman from present day Earth as companion :
As to changing it up with the companion , we really have changed it up quite a fortune , expect how dissimilar those girls have been . Wait and see .
What we have is probably the most enduring form of the show and I think will always incline back to it for whatever reason , but there ’s no reason you could n’t tend away from it and there ’s no diktat or exceptional rule book left by Verity Lambert or something . We absolutely could vary it . The time they ’ve varied it , it makes them work hard – you may see them skin with Leela . She was a great character but they had to civilise her tight because it was getting toilsome to fit her into news report – but it ’s not a surd and fast principle at all .

E.P. Marc Guggenheim say that the show ’s take on O.M.A.C. will not give Ray Palmer anything like Ted Kord ’s plotline with that undertaking :
[ F]or what it ’s worth , we dropped the O.M.A.C. Easter testis after we had already made the decisiveness to go with Ray .
He also hinted that something from season one will be coming back before long :
We start with the season mapped out but then the nearer we get to the end of atomic number 90 time of year , we ’ve get to plant firmer iris in the gumption . The characterisation that we developed back in June has let to come into greater centering . And we were talking about the next batch of episode and we could n’t serve ourselves ; we started talking about Season Four and it was like , “ No , no , no , we ’ve got to finish Season Three first . ”
That ’s sort of the way the show has been done . We ’re in reality working on an sequence now that yield off something that we set up back in Season One , an idea we ’ve always had and were holding in our back air pocket for the right time . That , to me , is one of the delight of working on the show is we get to play the long biz with a lot of these thing , like with the Felicity episode last workweek , and when we finally get it out into the world , it ’s always really exciting .
