promethia_tenkJust got done listening to a podcast interview with Steven Moffat. It's all lovely, of course, and an enjoyable listen if you've got the time.
Two highlights, though, were:
1) Moff's rundown of some of his favorite episodes starting at minute 42 (In which he reveals that he basically loved all of season nine and it's probably his secret favorite. Quite right too.)
2) An insight into PC's portrayal of the Doctor starting at minute 51 that I don't think I've heard before? Which is that he came back after series eight and said "I don't want to play the Twelfth Doctor. I want to play the Doctor." And then revised his portrayal to try to be less distinctive. That is fascinating to me, and I think the results basically speak for themselves.

Very much so. Once I heard it it was like 'of course.'
