Edinburgh International Book Festival programme update: Steven Moffat

STEVEN MOFFAT: A Journey through Screen and Time

Unfortunately, David Mamet can no longer attend his event tomorrow (Thursday 22 August) at 3.15pm. However, EIBF are delighted that Steven Moffat (aka Doctor Who) will join us instead!

Steven Moffat: A Journey through Screen and Time

Steven Moffat has been one of the UK’s most prominent and creative screenwriters and producers for almost 40 years.

From his origins working on the cult teen drama series Press Gang, becoming showrunner and head writer for five series of the revived Doctor Who, his iconic reworking of Sherlock for the BBC, to his most recent series, Douglas Is Cancelled, Moffat has created, or evolved, some of the most iconic characters in modern TV history.

His work has won countless awards as well as millions of fans around the world, and he joins us to reflect on his remarkable career, and how TV can not just survive, but thrive, in the streaming era.
