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.”
he wrote some of the best rtd era episodes but what im most excited about is that it means there’s a bigger chance to get more moffat era characters and storylines. i really hope we see vastra and jenny again
Ahem… No Strax?
Yes. We need more Strax. He’s hilarious!
Yea for sure … Moffat episodes within RTD seasons was basically peak Dr Who right (though 11th, ss 5+6 are my personal favs).
i really hope we see vastra and jenny again
Oooo I hadn’t thought about that. I bet he’s got a few ideas simmering away.
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
