Despite Moffat's continued claims of how much the Doctor fancies Little Miss Perfect, the superior Scot continues to throw shade in the most polite way.
“It’s ridiculous that we get these old guys with young women draped round them. When I started Doctor Who and we were doing photoshoots we’d be asked if Jenna could just lie down there while I, you know” — he leaps up and acts out a young woman sprawled coquettishly about while he gets to stand and look powerful over her. “I had to say, ‘Look, that’s just not what we’re about. The relationship between my Doctor and his companion is one of deep love. But it’s a strange sort of platonic bond. It becomes clearer and more moving as this particular series goes on.”
On sexism in the industry: “Of course it’s sexist. Most of my peers have partners their age, so if we have a dinner party with a bunch of actors, the wives or partners are largely the same age. Then you see your friends on screen and they are suddenly with some extraordinary young lady who wouldn’t be at the dinner party. It’s ridiculous."
“It is true that women reach a certain age when people decide that they’re not useful anymore as actors. There are a few significant theatrical roles that they might be viable for (and they all go to Meryl Streep). That’s not fair, it’s not right, it’s not a proper reflection of what goes on in life.”
On another note, via a banned source that hasn't yet been quoted in a different news article ONTD would prefer me to alternatively source from, he unsurprisingly admits he already craves roles beyond Doctor Who. “Even on your break, everything is Doctor Who-related. Artistically, I hunger for something that is different.” I assume, on top of some other reasons, that's why he's directing Veep later this year.

ONTD, I fear the day this bae says something problematic, because so far, he's slaying. On screen too. How about that monologue in the last episode?
