Steven Moffat is a television writer who has written many shows in the drama and / or comedy genre, most notably "Press Gang", "Coupling", and "Jekyll".

He is notable for writing the first piece of televised Doctor Who since the 1996 TV movie; the Comic Relief story The Curse of the Fatal Death, which brought the Daleks, The Master and multiple incarnations of the Doctor to the screen, as well as the Hugo award winning storylines The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, and The Girl in the Fireplace. Steven also wrote Time Crash the first multi-doctor story of the new series.

On the 20th May 2008, Steven Moffat was announced to be the executive producer and head writer of Doctor Who starting on the fifth season in 2010. His takeover from Russell T. Davies, the man who revived the show in 2005, was met with joy. He said in a BBC press release [1]: "My entire career has been a Secret Plan to get this job. I applied before but I got knocked back 'cos the BBC wanted someone else. Also I was seven. Anyway, I'm glad the BBC has finally seen the light, and it's a huge honour to be following Russell into the best - and the toughest - job in television. I say toughest 'cos Russell's at my window right now, pointing and laughing."
