Russel T. Davies , showrunner of the modernDoctor Whoreturn in 2005 has just been announced to be returning once more to top the show in 2023 , replacing anexiting Chris Chibnall .

Well , this is quite the surprisal . TheBBCjust put up an announcement on the Doctor Who website . “ Russell T Davies will make an explosive return to screens to celebrate the 60th day of remembrance of Doctor Who in 2023 , and series beyond , ” the mail take . “ Responsible for Doctor Who ’s revitalisation in 2005 , he is credit with propelling the show into a global phenomenon and making it one of TV ’s with child hitting . His tenure on the show supervise a upsurge in popularity enjoying huge plaudit and success . The Doctor won the state ’s warmheartedness through his masterful relaunch , which led him to create two twisting off series , Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures during that clip . ”

aboveboard , as someone who enjoyed a lot of Davies ’ incumbency , this has left me quite speechless . For a show as reform-minded as the long - run sci - fi series — and arrive off series featuring Jodie Whittaker and Jo Martin as the MD — going back in meter to a previous showrunner seems like a vast stumble . Whether you liked his body of work or not , I think most Whovians would hold this was an opportunity to breathe new life sentence into the series , specially on its 60th day of remembrance .

We are thrilled that Russell is devolve to Doctor Who to make on the huge achievements of Chris and Jodie . give thanks you to the two of them and the squad in Cardiff for all they keep to do for the show and hello Russell , it ’s wonderful to have you back . ”

“ breaking wind of change . ” Hysterical . It can be suppose that Davies never really left Who behind , he even just had a new “ onetime ” story announced to be adapted into aBig Finish sound recording play . But time will tell what he ’ll make of the next installment of Doctor Who , and who he ’ll bring along to work with him . We ’ll make for you more as we know it .
