Good news/ Bad news.

But Chibnall is taking over...
The head writer and executive producer of Doctor Who, Steven Moffat, is to step down from the show, the BBC has confirmed.
His last series will go out in spring 2017 following a Christmas special, after which he will be replaced by Broadchurch writer Chris Chibnall.
Moffat took over the reins on series five of the world's longest running sci-fi series in 2010.
BBC One's controller, Charlotte Moore, said Moffat was an "absolute genius".
I'm not convinced by Chibnall. Half a dozen average-to-awful Who episodes?
Also confirms that Moffat is doing all of next season. Which I imagine will be Capaldi's last too.
However the really awful news there is I think it means we're not getting any Doctor Who in 2016. Because why announce Moffat's departure two seasons in advance?
So the next Who will be the Christmas special. So somehow Moffat has convinced the BBC to give him a whole year off, a final season, and then hand the reigns over to the guy who wrote Cyberwoman.
