INTERVIEW BY BENJAMIN COOK
I t’s not that John Simm doesn’t like giving interviews. It’s just that he’s had his fingers burnt before. He got fed up of being misquoted; his words taken out of context. “He was being quoted as saying nasty things about Doctor Who,” explained showrunner Steven Moffat, in DWM 512, “which are not true, by the way. He’s a big fan. He even knows what a Mondasian Cyberman is! He loves Doctor Who.”
This much is obvious from the moment John starts talking. He adores the show. He couldn’t be prouder of his contribution to it. And that’s why he’s keen to chat to Doctor Who Magazine.
