Rona Munro interview

In The Guardian, Rona Munro tells Charlotte Higgins about her new play, The Last Witch, and reflects on having written the last episode of the pre-Russell T Davies Doctor Who.
"This," she says with mock portentousness, as she munches a sandwich at the Traverse theatre's rehearsal room in Leith, Edinburgh, "is my chance to say it. I don't think the Doctor should have fallen in love with anybody. I think that's wrong. I don't think there should be any snogging or any sexual tension because" – she gets even more mock-grand – "he's a time lord, and his companion is but a mortal." Despite the good cheer, you know she means it. The running sexual tension between the Doctor and his various sidekicks has, she reckons, been "lazy".
