Moffat offered 'Doctor Who' job by email

Speaking to Radio Times magazine, he said: "I heard last July when I got an email from Russell as I boarded a plane to Athens... and there it was on my Blackberry: an email. A whopping great 'What do you think?' It was a bit gobsmacking, to be honest."
However, Moffat - who wrote recent episodes 'Silence in the Library' and 'Forest of the Dead' for the show's fourth season - emphasised that there is still plenty of time before he takes over the reins on Doctor Who: "It's kind of hard to have a feeling about it at the moment - and it's way too soon to be talking about it. Series five is two years away."
