I'd love to see Moffat do something similar. RTD has always been good about putting this material online. That said, I'd much rather they put out a book like they did with the 2005 season scripts, but for now this will do.

I just ordered my copy of the Writers Tale 2nd edition from Amazon, though apparently it's not being released in Canada for another week!

Codename for the finale was "GoldenRod"? lol

^Nope - that refers to the colour of the script pages, representing which revision it was. I think goldenrod (or often, just gold) is fifth or sixth revision.

ETA: Yep, sixth revision.

It's interesting to note that some of these scripts are dated well after the start of production of that story, too, suggesting things were in flux even after the cameras started rolling. I know that's not unusual, but it's interesting to see that indicated by these scripts.

No mention of Moffat on the End of Time 2 script - are we certain Moffat wrote the Eleventh Doctor intro scene as has been reported?

^If you look at those particular scenes, they have asterisks in the right margin, which aren't present anywhere else in the script...

Interesting. The "Partners in Crime" script omits Scene 126, the one with Rose. The shooting name was apparently "Yellow Amendments". No idea where that came from.

if I recall the set photos correctly, the Rose parts of the S4 was recorded towards the end of filming, I remeber being surprised by Rose appearing in that episode, when from what I had guessed she wouldn't appear towards the end of the series.

Read my post a bit further up - references to colours indicate the script revision. Nothing to do with episode titles.

Yeah, that scene was , ISTR, shot during filming for Turn Left

And wasn't in the version of Partners in Crime shown to critics at the season launch, just to keep it a surprise.

Moffatt should do more of that kind of thing.

According to Rusty, yes, the bit where Rose accepts the keys from Donna towards the end was just a random old lady in the press screening as to make the appearance of Rose so early in the season a massive surprise when first broadcast.

Very cool! I was hoping these would get released, especially the End of Time scripts, can't wait to read these.
