Russell T. Davies, the executive producer of Doctor Who, is stepping down at the end of this series. Steven Moffat, my favourite TV writer after Aaron Sorkin, will take over. He’s a brave guy.

To paraphrase Christopher Eccleston's Doctor in describing Davies's tenure as Head Writer and Executive Producer, "Fantastic!"
