[The Nth Doctor]

I would be more than willing to buy the complete script, but an excerpt?

It's an unauthorized, unlicenced, but given a nod and a wink anthology for charity. A complete script would be probably a step too far over the line for the BBC, even though Moffat gave it to them.

ETA: nine page excerpt, according to publisher Stuart Douglas over at Gallifrey Base.

Anyone here read it?

The book is now out. The Radio Times has an overview of the scene, with a couple excerpts: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2...on-of-the-doctor-who-50th-anniversary-script/

What could have been... (sigh)

 

[The Nth Doctor]

One change I do prefer: Billie Piper as The Moment and not Rose. Not just because I don't like Rose, but I like how the episode utilized The Moment in its relation to The War Doctor, and how he only saw her and how it took the appearance of a certain future companion, one that would help him heal.

I just love the idea that Eccleston might've worked again with Billie Piper, thereby making a tangible, nostalgic even connection to the first series.
