R. T. Davies Quote
Incidentally, does anyone have a source for that oft-reproduced quote by Russell Davies about “viewers not caring about Zogs from the planet Zog”? It seems rather likely to me that any and all use of "the planet Zog" in subsequent Doctor Who fiction are highly likely to be in-jokes referring to that comment, so surely a Behind the scenes section tracing its history would be warranted. I scarcely have any idea where to begin to look for a source, though. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:29, June 2, 2019 (UTC)
- Never heard of the phrase before. After some digging the exact quote being "If the Zogs on planet Zog are having trouble with the Zog-monster [...] who gives a toss?" apparently originates in his 2005 pitch. It was reproduced as "pitch perfect" in DWMSE 11 and RTD talked about it again in a DWM 360 interview.RingoRoadagain ☎ 18:15, June 2, 2019 (UTC)
