‘Doctor Who’ exec Moffat on the Doctor’s unknown past: ‘He had a whole life’

Posted Filed under

Steven Moffat has speculated about the Doctor’s life on Gallifrey prior to Doctor Who‘s first episode.

Moffat commented in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine: “…the Doctor was married (or whatever is the Time Lord equivalent) on Gallifrey. Not just married, but married a long time. He didn’t just have children, he had grandchildren. He had a whole life.”

He pondered: “There’s so much we don’t know, and never will. What happened, that black day… what or who launched the Doctor on his never-ending journey?”
