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.”

          There are currently two series of audio Paternoster Gang boxsets out (one still ongoing) from Big Finish. Strax continues to deliver in those!

      Yea for sure … Moffat episodes within RTD seasons was basically peak Dr Who right (though 11th, ss 5+6 are my personal favs).

      Oooo I hadn’t thought about that. I bet he’s got a few ideas simmering away.
