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!
There are currently two series of audio Paternoster Gang boxsets out (one still ongoing) from Big Finish. Strax continues to deliver in those!
Oh man I’m gonna have to check those out. 😄
I for one welcome a return of our Paternoster Row overlords.
yes! shamelessly i mostly just couldn’t remember his name or the paternoster gang’s name and i was on my phone when i wrote the comment. T_T
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
RTD running main Doctor Who with 15, and Steven Moffat running the spinoff 8th Doctor Time War show with Paul McGann pls.
as a sherlockian i still want a new sherlock series too :(
Yes please!
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…
Don’t you want more BOOMARANGS in your TV show?
Thank you for the reminder, I almost forgot to be angry about that today…
I’m kinda excited about this. Wonder if he’s actually doing the christmas episode as has been rumoured? Either way it’ll be good to see Moffat back!
Oh wow that pretty cool! Its also pretty cool that lemmy got its own Doctor who community, didnt know that!
Welcome aboard Mr Moffut! 😄
