Speaking to RadioTimes.com at the Royal Television Society awards, Moffat said: "People really do sit in rooms and make that stuff up. Look at the filming schedules for Doctor Who and Sherlock - those two shows tend to shoot at the same time. We’d have a problem and there’s only so much I can arrange."
But he then added, as a quick afterthought: "But who knows what could happen in the future..."
Moffat also told RadioTimes.com about plans for the forthcoming series of Doctor Who. Asked whether there would be a large story arc running through the episodes, or if we could expect self-contained adventures, he said: "As ever, there’s a bit of both. But this time we’re moving closer to stand-alone stories. At this point, we’re not planning any two-parters. So, every week is going to be like a different mad movie."
He added: "We went quite 'arc' last time and we’re going stand-alone this time around. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t those things creeping in. You’ve got to find a way to make the last episode special, and by God that worked ratings-wise last year. We don’t want to abandon that idea."
Asked for any teasers he could offer, the ever-elusive Moffat replied: "Watch out for the title of episode two. I think that’s a belter. It’s one of my favourite titles ever."
As for his other hit BBC1 series, the detective drama Sherlock, Moffat had this to say about series three: "Mark [Gatiss] and I have planned it out. We haven’t started writing it yet because I've got God knows how many episodes of Doctor Who to get sorted first. But the way it works with Sherlock is that we starve you and then we give you a short burst and then we starve you again. It’s worked so far, we’re not going to change it."
On the scheduling of future episodes, Moffat said: "I don’t actually know. Given that this is a show that I haven’t started writing yet, it’s a bit early to suggest scheduling. Once we hand them over, they’ll be on television quite quickly."
I DEMAND THAT YOU ALL POST CREEPY BENEDICT SECRETS FROM TUMBLR

Benedict Cumberbatch is not gonna be in Doctor Who..........for now
Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has dismissed reports that Benedict Cumberbatch is to play the villainous Master on the sci-fi series.

leave the Master alone for now
i would've had to stop watching Doctor Who if he and his ugly face were gonna be in it.
super pretty?
really pretty?
very pretty?
I need to know tbh
Oh wait! This is Moffat! That isn't going to happen!
What I loved about Rose, Martha, and Donna as well as all the previous companions prior to the reboot, is that they were all relatable men and women. I would watch and see myself in them. They were also all shapes and sizes, which appealed to me, and others because people are all shapes and sizes, and not just these stick thin, leggy girls that Moffat thinks companions should be.
I hate to say this, but Moffat has Americanized Doctor Who. He's pretty much given it the "hollywood" aspect, that the men can be goofy, and not that great looking, but still end up getting the hot sexy girl, who giggles and is the butt of sexual innuendos and jokes by the male characters.
Amy Pond is not a relatable character, she never was and she never will be. She's a shell of a woman. Someone that could have been really great, but because of Moffat's blatant sexism, was turned into just plot. Same with River. She could have been such a great character, but instead Moffat turned on the sex jokes, and made her into the Doctor's "puppet", basically telling little girls and boys everywhere that when you meet the man or woman of your dreams and fall in love with them they can treat you like complete crap like Eleven has done to River.
I just really really hate Steven Moffat, and the faster that he's gone, the show will get better again. He's basically taken a show that I've loved and been loyal with for years, and shat all over it for his "man fantasies".
I would give an internal organ to get RTD or Julie Gardner back on the show. I know RTD has taken some time off for personal issues with his partner, but it would be nice to see Julie back.
And I resent this "starve the Sherlock fans" business. Not appreciated.
