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.”
The statement by Moffat himself would very strongly indicate so, yes.
And I agree: while he’s a great writer and was a good to great Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies is the GOAT at both IMO and I hope he stays at the helm for many years!
I mean, Moffat wrote some of the best episodes of the RTD era and some of the worst of his own…
