What a bomb, folks. And it is that after the announcement a few months ago that both Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whitaker would leave ‘Doctor Who’ in 2022, the question of who would be the successors was opened. Now we know: Russell T. Davies will regain control of the TARDIS as of 2023.
Thus, the English screenwriter returns to the fray thirteen years after pass the baton to Steven Moffat back in 2010 (January 1 was the last special). Davies, remember, was responsible for the modern version of the doctor, which returned to the television airwaves after almost two decades of absence.
At the moment there is no more information about his new stage in ‘Doctor Who’, but this will coincide with the celebrations of the sixtieth anniversary of the BBC series, which debuted in November 1963. Your first mission will be to find the new incarnation of the Doctor.
“At the moment I am just a spectator”Davies comments in the BBC statement, as if advising that there is no rush to unveil their plans. And I’m sure they’ll be pretty good because the screenwriter has grown year after year giving us outstanding miniseries like ‘Years & Years’ and ‘It’s A Sin’, to say the last two.
When Davies took over as chief screenwriter on ‘Doctor Who’, not only did he not settle for just making a series, but he also planted and created spin-offs like ‘The Sarah Jane Adventures’ or ‘Torchwood’.
