I wasn't suggesting for a moment that Alan Moore would have done it, my point was that judging by that interview, Andrew Cartmel seemed pretty keen to get him involved or at least be influenced by him. This leads me, perhaps mistakenly, to draw certain conclusions about the kind of audience Cartmel was aiming at. How to sum it up... here's Cartmel himself:

“But one thing was Alan Moore had done this story about aquatic vampires for Swamp Thing, so when I was knocking about looking for serviceable monsters for Who, that went into the mix.”
