After rumours galore, the writer, who helmed the BBC sci-fi from 2010 to 2017, will officially make his return for Ncuti Gatwa’s season.
Moffat said of his return: "Yes, OK, fair enough – apologies to everyone I’ve very slightly misled – I am in fact writing an episode of the series of Doctor Who. Exactly like I said I never would. What can I tell you?
"There was begging, there was pleading but finally Russell agreed to let me have another go – so long as I got out of his garden. Working with old friends and a brand new Doctor I couldn’t be happier.
“Sorry I was a bit reticent on the subject for so long. It was all part of an elaborate plan that would have delighted millions but at the last minute I forgot what it was.”
As a writer, not showrunner, right? Right??
He is back writing a single episode. I imagine RTD will ask him back in the future as they clearly still get along.
and then hopefully some episodes of the rebooted torchwood coughs
RTD running main Doctor Who with 15, and Steven Moffat running the spinoff 8th Doctor Time War show with Paul McGann pls.
as a sherlockian i still want a new sherlock series too :(
Yes please!
The statement by Moffat himself would very strongly indicate so, yes.
And I agree: while he’s a great writer and was a good to great Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies is the GOAT at both IMO and I hope he stays at the helm for many years!
I mean, Moffat wrote some of the best episodes of the RTD era and some of the worst of his own…
Don’t you want more BOOMARANGS in your TV show?
Thank you for the reminder, I almost forgot to be angry about that today…
