Default Steven Moffat takes over Dr Who
This will please Mr Crook, and a few of us Who fans....


From Media Guardian.

Moffat named Doctor Who supremo

Scriptwriter Steven Moffat was today named lead writer and executive producer on hit BBC1 drama Doctor Who.

Moffat, who has written a number of episodes of the show - including the acclaimed Blink episode which won him the Bafta writer award at this year's TV awards - will replace Russell T Davies.

Davies, the key creative figure behind the Doctor Who revival in 2005, stands down next year.

The appointment makes Moffat Doctor Who's show runner - the key creative force behind the programme - on the fifth series, which will be broadcast on BBC1 in 2010.

As well as Blink, his previous work on Doctor Who includes The Girl in the Fireplace for Series Two, which earned him his second Hugo Award. His first was for the Series One two-parter The Empty Child

Davies said: "It's been a delight and an honour working with Steven, and I can't wait to see where his extraordinary imagination takes the Doctor. Best of all, I get to be a viewer again, watching on a Saturday night!"

Davies and Julie Gardner, the BBC Wales head of drama, who have worked on the fourth series of Doctor Who and are working on three specials for broadcast in 2009.

In 2009 BBC Wales, which makes Doctor Who, will also have a new head of drama when producer Piers Wenger takes over from Julie Gardner.

I thought that was a misspelling and this was about Georgina Moffet taking over as Dr Who's assistant.

As long as the next two episodes are up to the standard we expect from him
It's good to see quality, skill and talent recognised although it does leave him open to the brickbats from people who don't like every little thing about the series.
