The MediaGuardian website has announced that Steven Moffat is to succeed Russell T Davies as the chief writer and executive producer of Doctor Who.The article states that Moffat will replace Davies in 2009, taking over as “showrunner” for the fifth series in 2010. Moffat has been responsible for several episodes of the revived Doctor Who to date, including the BAFTA Award-winning “Blink” and the fortmcoming two-parter “Silence in the Library” and “Forest of the Dead”.
This is great news. While I’m sorry to see Davies go, I’ve long been a fan of Moffat’s work, especially Jekyll and Coupling. I cannot wait to see what his tenure holds for The Doctor.
