* In [[Doctor Who Magazine]],{{which}} writer and showrunner [[Steven Moffat]] said that the Doctor had explained to him that ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'' didn't actually make ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'' an alternate timeline.{{quote|I can change the future so long as the future has not already been established as part of my own past. I can't rescue [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] because I already know that I didn't.<br /><br />But what do I know about Trenzalore? There's a big monument that looks very like [[the Doctor's TARDIS|my TARDIS]]. There's a temporal fissure leading to my timeline. Maybe it's my grave. Maybe, one day, it's my burial ground. Maybe it is something else entirely, and we got it all wrong. Don’t know. Don't plan to find out for as long as possible.<br /><br />The main thing is, Clara still jumped into my time stream, and ended up helping me through all of my life. All that is established, unchanged – but there's wiggle room!|[[The Doctor]]|http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2014/04/steven-moffat-explains-tardis-trenzalore-sort}}
