First rule of RTD is never believe anything he says. I know from following social media/interviews etc that he and Moffat still talk. Moffat even talked with RTD about scrapping an bit in the opening credits for 14 and Donna. You would think Weeping Angels were just a Moffat thing but yet Chibnal still used them.

They must have been having one hell of an experience.

I'm a Beatlemaniac and I actually stopped upvoting for Please Please Me because it kept being in the bottom two and it could be a wasted vote.
