Chris Chibnall??????!!!

The Radio Times is reporting that Moffat is stepping down, and his replacement as Doctor Who showrunner will be Chris Chibnall. I am really, really hoping that it's April Fool's Day, and I've just missed it.

(Psst -- BBC, please take another look a Toby Whithouse? Pretty please??)

That was all over Twitter last night from 'official ' Twitter accounts so I am pretty sure it's real, alas.

Chibnall's a decent writer of non-SFF (eg Law & Order UK, Broadchurch) but DW, Torchwood? Not so much.

I haven't liked a single one of his Doctor Who episodes. I am holding out hope that he will stick to showrunning, and farm out the actual writing to others.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that score!
