Earlier this year the British public snubbed Steven Moffat’s televisual efforts, as his newly regenerated Doctor and co-created contemporary Sherlock lost out in all their categories at the National Television Awards.
Moffat-adoring conspiracy theorists believed it was due to fans’ votes being split, as they were forced to choose one or other of his creations. My belief is that the What’s On TV reading public aren’t your archetypal fan of either of these programmes, preferring a bit of cosy melodrama instead.
