Doctor Who 's newest season on Disney+ is a blast , and some may credit that to the boost in budget it received by bringing on Disney as a co-producer . That said, there have been rumblings on the internet with those concerned that the House of Mouse may have too great of an influence on the British series. As such, CinemaBlend asked Steven Moffat about his experience writing "Boom" in relation to working with Disney, and he gave his blunt thoughts on the matter.

Steven Moffat is the longest-running showrunner of Doctor Who 's modern era, and he was recently featured as the writer for the episode "Boom," now available to stream with a Disney+ subscription . Moffat led the show from 2010 to 2017 when it was under only The BBC, so I had to wonder what his thoughts were about Disney being in the mix when writing his latest episode. Here's his take when it came to the company trying to influence the work: [Russell T.



Davies] will give you a more complete answer, but I find none at all. The notes we got from Disney were all good, and they were not trying to impose a Disneyfication on Doctor Who whatsoever. I never heard one word of that.

Never. And I'm pretty confident that's what Russell would tell you. That simply didn't happen.

They know that Doctor Who is a particular kind of show. It's that show that you've frightened your kids with! And it’s got on being that. Hilarious comment at the end there by Steven Moffat, because I would wager a good number of the best Doctor Who ep.
