The Weekly Stuff #132 - Steven Moffat’s Doctor Who Departure

What could have been a slow week was quickly re-energized with the surprising, game-changing announcement that, come the end of next year’s tenth series, Steven Moffat will be stepping down as showrunner of Doctor Who, to be replaced by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall in 2018. Given how much we love Doctor Who, and how closely we’ve followed Moffat’s run over the course of this podcast, this announcement was more than worthy of a deep-dive discussion. With Sean’s thoughts on Rebel Galaxy, some reflections on Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me from Jonathan, and more head-scratching at decisions related to the DC Cinematic Universe, that’s more than enough to turn a slow week into a busy podcast full of interesting topics.
