Steven Moffat

I can say with pride verging on smugness that I've got two very successful shows that assume their audience is very smart.
Steven Moffat

We have a plan to top it. And I do think our plan is devastating. We’ve practically reduced our cast to tears telling them the plan … we’re probably more excited that we’ve ever been about Sherlock.

If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best.
