Steven Moffat awarded OBE
Steven Moffat has been award an OBE for his services to drama in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.
Speaking to BBC’s Lizo Mzimba:
I never thought I would get something like this, I’m astonished and more thrilled than I ever thought someone like me would be. I’m not the least bit cynical, or the least bit trying to be cool about it. I’m just really, really happy.
Moffat’s predecessor, Russell T Davies, was awarded an OBE in 2008.
Also awarded OBE’s for service to drama are Lesley Manville and Martin Clunes.
Lenny Henry, who once played the Doctor in a 1985 spoof of Doctor Who for his comedy show is being knighted for his services to drama and charity.
