Steven Moffat, Doctor Who’s head writer and executive producer, has been awarded an OBE for services to drama in recognition of his work on Doctor Who and his other hit BBC series, Sherlock.
Steven received the award from the Prince of Wales in a ceremony held at Buckingham Palace on Thursday 4 February. Speaking to reporters on the occasion, he said, “It’s very thrilling and formal and slightly – just very slightly – like being back at school. But nicer because everyone got a prize. It was very thrilling and lovely.
“Talking to other people before I came in, I kind of feel everyone’s here for a better reason than me. I’ve got not one, but two dream jobs, so to get this lovely thing for already indulging myself in public, seems like an excess of good fortune.”
