I also feel fairly pessimistic about Moffat's last series since it's being billed as a big event, and (with Day of The Doctor as the exception) I've never liked Moffat's big event stories. Also that doofy song is the best Who thing Chibnall has ever written.

A quick Google will also get you this from the same sort of time : I think that's what I posted last page Anyway just to be clear: the fact that Chibnall was a Briefcase Wanker thirty years ago should not automatically disqualify him from running Doctor Who. I do wonder though what Briefcase Wanker Chibnall would have made of Torchwood. "Doctor Who is not a kid's show!"  "Doctor Who can be for adults!"  "Doctor Who can be very adult, very dramatic!"  (although I suppose that with Torchwood his whole remit was to make an 'adult, sexy Doctor Who', as mindbendingly stupid as that is)

I hope Chibnall embraces a more room-driven direction for Doctor Who. I trust his technical expertise at Making A Show but don't have much faith in any of his creative ideas, so hopefully he doesn't try to ape the Moffat/RTD Showrunner model and instead takes a more distant approach. If he recognizes his own limitations he could easily bypass them by putting folks like Mathieson, Dollard, and even Harness in strong positions.

Hey BTW does anyone happen to have copies of the BBC commentary tracks they used to host on the old DW site? You can still access the site, but the commentary tracks don't work anymore. I hope they aren't lost to time

I think Cyberwoman sucked as much as the next guy, but I think I'd be more interested in seeing another bizarre failure like that than another very competent episode of Moffat's worn-out bag of well-worn tricks again (Heaven Sent excluded). It's been, what, 5 years? It's change, my dear. And it seems not a moment too soon.

Murray Gold already has his first remit for season 11.  jng2058 posted:Okay, so where's the idea that Capaldi's leaving with Moffat coming from? I don't see any hard evidence of that anywhere. Indeed, given how Moffat himself said that it was extraordinarily difficult to handle becoming the new showrunner and inaugurating a new Doctor simultaneously, I'd expect him to do his best to get Peter to stay on for at least one season of Chibnall's run just to help smooth the transition. Sure, just like David Tennant promised he would!  The real question is: will Moffat be involved in picking the new Doctor as opposed to letting Chibnall handle the casting, and if so, should he? I can see arguments either way: on the one hand it would be great to let Chibnall pick his own Doctor. On the other hand Moffat is 3 for 3 with amazing casting for the role....

I never watched the regular seasons, and I never saw Cyberwoman in particular and I'd wonder--if you ignore the stupid costume, was the writing that bad? I don't see how you can blame the writer for the choices of the director, costumer, set designer, actors, etc.

I don't see how you can blame the writer for the choices of the director, costumer, set designer, actors, etc. Torchwood is too terrible, and staffed by too many otherwise competent people to place the blame at the feet of a single person, but Chibnail is one of the few who is also incompetent elsewhere, so it weighs more heavily on him. (And I like his two Series 7 episodes!)

Chibnaill was head writer and co-producer of Torchwood actually, so he would've had near final approval on everything, and unless Davis REALLY wanted a black lady in a silver bikini and fought for it then Chibnaill has at least half of the blame for approving it.

Yeah, I think Moffat's getting a bit worn out in the showrunner position and it's time for a change, but the new showrunner announcement should make me go, "Oooh, what're they going to do with the show?!" not "Oh no! What are they going to do with the show!"

Series 9 is tied for best of the revival for me and I still think it's time for him to go. And this series, especially the Christmas episode, really did feel like Moffat might be done. I was really hoping, though, that staying on another season might give enough time for some of the newcomers like Harness and Mathieson to get a shot at the big chair. I'm excited for Series 10, though, because knowing that it's your last going in never hurts.

It'll be alright under Chibnall. We'll see a return to Classic Who - wobbly sets, quarries, and more baddies made of tin foil and bubble wrap than you could shake a vaccum hose at! The BBC have released a sneak preview of his plans for the series.  Really though, while I'm glad Moffat is stepping down, I can't say I'm too excited for Chibnall. But, he may surprise us. I don't know. It'll be interesting to watch anyway - be it failure, boon, or otherwise. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Jan 24, 2016 |

With Dr. Who being such a headliner of a show you'd figure the network would bother to air more than 5 episodes a year on average.

This is British television where popular series have two seasons made three years apart of only six episodes, two specials that aired once and one of which spent half of it recapping the previous season, and a fifteen minute long radio drama from ten years ago that was promoted as tying up loose ends but in fact left on a massive cliffhanger. They're promising to get around to season three soon.

Yeah Ra's was played by an appropriate actor but then died and Barrowman/Merlyn/Dark Archer seized control.
