If you’d been reading the tea leaves, like Stu_n has, you’d have seen it coming. But the official announcement has just been made that top writer bloke, multiple award winner and future Tin Tin scribe Steven Moffat has just been appointed the new show runner on Doctor Who. He’ll replace Rusty Davies for the fifth series.

Feel free to discuss this amongst yourselves.
