Steven Moffat
Co-Creator, Executive Producer & Writer, Sherlock / Executive Producer & Lead Writer, Doctor Who
In 2009 Steven succeeded Russell T. Davies as the Showrunner of Doctor Who. Under Davies’ tenure, Steven won a BAFTA for his episode “Blink”, and has since won a total of four Hugo awards including the 2011 Best Dramatic Presentation award for “The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang”. Since then, he has overseen the development and growth of one of the BBC’s most popular, prime-time shows.
Steven began his writing career in the late 1980’s with ITV series Press Gang, whose second series won a BAFTA. Steven went on to write the sitcoms Joking Apart, Chalk and the hugely popular, award-winning Coupling. In 2007 he wrote Jekyll, an update of the classic novella, and in 2010 he co-created the multi-award winning Sherlock with his friend and fellow writer, Mark Gatiss, for Hartswood Films.
In 2012 Steven was presented with the RTS Judges Award for his “outstanding contribution to television” and was honoured by the British Academy for Film and Television with a Special Award for contribution to television.
He also co-wrote the feature film The Adventures of Tintin, directed by Steven Spielberg.
Steven recently wrote the much anticipated Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, shot in 3D which was premiered to a record global audience across 94 countries on television and in cinemas and the Doctor Who Christmas Special, introducing Peter Capaldi as the new Time Lord. The third series of Sherlock recently launched on the BBC with its highest ever ratings, and with consolidated figures it is the highest rating non-Doctor Who drama in the UK since 2002.
