too thin with both Sherlock and Doctor Who? Do you think one of them will suffer? I don't see how he can give Dr Who 100% if he's working on Sherlock at the same time.
Moffat Spreading Himself
1 of 2
Due to the wondrous nature of TV and how long its been talked about I'm pretty sure Sherlock is all written by now and he can hand it over to someone else to do the majority of the production.

Well he only wrote the first episode out of a series that only has three episodes. Plus it's Mark Gatiss who is the Showrunner, so Moffat doesn't have to be involved that much at all.
i would imagine that if The Moff was gonna spread himself thin he would have carried on writing the other 2 scripts to the tin tin movies that Steven Speilberg wanted him to write before he was offered the role as show runner on Doctor who and as The Moff wanted the show runners job on Doctor who more he had to decline and only wrote the first one currently in post production.
i think ppl need to just chill out and stuff as iirc when RTD was the Showrunner he had Doctor who, Torchwood and SJA all on his plate at the same time and the moff is not doing thoes other 2 its rtd still so he is only doing who and as was pointed out he wrote the first ep of sherlock ( a study in pink) the other 2 were by mark gatis and moff is just an Exec Producer on Sherlock with gatis as the showrunner!
so the moff's plate isnt as full as you may think!!

As opposed to RTD who had a hand in SJA and Torchwood as well as Doctor Who you mean?

Haha bloody classic. However I have no problems with moffat helping out with the new Sherlock either. As someone pointed out that RTD was working on who, torchwood and SJA at the same time

He is more than capable.....he was obviously working on both for the last two years at least....and yet you loved series 5.....so if it didn't affect the quality this year for you....why the doubt?
I would have no fears about Lord Moffat being spread too thinly. He has more ideas knocking around his brain than most, and he will be aware of his own limits if the work gets too much, unlike his predescessor whos paucity of ideas nearly destroyed the program in its final months.

Which raises the point, thank goodness this thread wasn't titled "Karen Gillan spreading herself".
The internet would have broken.

No - as a writer, SM is long enough the tooth to know exactly what he is doing and how much extra work he can take on over and above his executive role/lead writer role on DW just as RTD did - if necessary, he'll burn the midnight oil to write something he feels he wants to, needs or or just plain enjoys doing.
Does Matt Smith's performance as The Doctor suffer from him portraying Christopher Isherwood? Or should he be locked in a room and forced to remain The Doctor even when he isn't filming the show?
And also - I have many friends who work in one job and have a second job that they do, including volunteering and charity work...does this mean they aren't able to commit completely to both? No - because they know what they are doing, how to structure their time and ultimately know their own limitations.

I think that's in the optional alternative version on the 18R DVD release...
