Doctor Who gets a Moffat

Stephen Moffat, best known for the brilliant BBC comedy Coupling and the mini-series Jekyll, succeeds the departing Russell T. Davies as Doctor Who showrunner for Season Five. Moffat has given Who fans some of the new series’ most memorable episodes, including Blink and Girl in the Fireplace, and couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity… “My entire career has been a secret plan to get this job. I applied for it once before but got backed because the BBC wanted someone else. Also, I was 7.” Season Four wraps the end of June, and Season Five will not air until 2010.
