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.

And actually, that might happen just through having a new showrunner in regardless of who it is. I feel like some of the Moffat criticism is simply due to him not being RTD, just like some of the Martha criticism was from her not being Rose. Yes, fandom, it's someone NEW! Deal with it!

I think that'll be inevitable. At the moment, for New Who fans, there's this polarising RTD vs Moffat - but once you throw in a third person it's got to start evening out a little. Although I say that, but people still hate JNT with a passion and this is DW fandom... :loL:

And, yes, DW is change and that's how it goes. And every now and then some of us will have to sit out an era, but that's DW too.
