SFX Picks Of The Year - Dave G

Later, at the post screening party (yes the one that was in the news a few weeks back – “Should Licence Payers Fund SFX Hack’s Alcohol Addiction?”) his girlfriend shows up. She immediately seems very interested that I’m on casual nodding terms with Moffat. “You must introduce me,” she trills. I mumble something noncommittally and politely extricate myself from the conversation by spotting anyone I vaguely know (the hapless victim turns out to be Kevin McCloud, not that I can recall his name so I introduce myself by going, “Hey, are you Mr Grand Designs?" Oh dear.)

I finally bump into Mr Moffat again, and am just about to ask him who's he casting as the new Doctor when the actress appears from nowhere (if this had been a film she would have been tracked across the room, running in slow motion). Grinning at me as if we’re old friends, she immediately launches herself at Moffat and gabbles at him for ages about what a great Doctor Who companion she'd make. I tactically withdrew. The last thing I remember is Steven Moffat staring dagger at me over her shoulder.
