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.

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.

THIS HAS BEEN MY NIGHTMARE FOR THREE YEARS.

I think April Fool's Day isn't the word. I'm actually finally going to have an era of DW I hate now, aren't I? Unless something miraculous happens to Chris Chibnall or my allergy to nearly everything he's ever written. Except Power of Three. I actually quite liked that without having to switch off my brain.
