For those who've never seen it, or wonder where the source of future memes will come from: www.youtube.com/watch?v=irIqTPQqgvQNow, I actually want Chris to write a Rani story, just to stick it to Pip and Jane.

To be fair to the guy, he's spent thirty years building his career to get to a point where he can prove he can do a better job.

C'mon, guys. I'm cautious about Chibnall, but the internet has been using this to beat him to death since he was announced as showrunner.

Whether he does or not, I admire him for putting his money where his mouth was. Most fans back then thought what he said, few of them did anything constructive about it.

I'm very curious about what opinions changed and what stayed the same after all these years. I'd imagine he'd have been very pleased with the way the show was going circa Season 26, it was getting a great deal more adult with its storytelling. It was only the production values (still badly hurt from Trial) that were really holding it back from looking like Cracker or Reilly, Ace of Spies. This is an interview of him from about two years ago by BBC Writer's Room:

If he can do a better job! HE CAN Well, an important thing to remember is that out of all that could have been submitted, it's the current showrunner who selects what's put to paper. Chibnall has been responsible for writing The Power of Three, which was probably one of the most sitcom-like episodes of Matt Smith's tenure, and Countrycide, which was a deeply disturbing horror story about a very ordinary evil. The man's certainly got range.

"HE CAN" but does that mean "HE WILL" This certainly is a big shakeup and I'm fine in waiting to see what they serve up, and make up my own mind after I've seen it.

If it's not to your tastes, then it's not to your tastes. There's nothing that can be done about that from the outside. However, I wouldn't go condemning an entire tenure filled that will be filled with other writers (I think it's an absolute tragedy that Richard Curtis was never invited back) on events that haven't happened yet.

The man's certainly got range. I think he has range. But I honestly don't think he's a Doctor Who writer - since his episodes for the show haven't been great. I'll link this video which criticizes Chibnall's work as it is rather good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh8xyDlLXfcHe's going to burst a blood vessel if he keeps that up. Alright, I can note four flaws in his criticism as the video goes on: - The assumption that every script goes through the production office without any kind of input from the current script editor/showrunner;
- His criticism doesn't count the work he has done outside of Doctor Who on Camelot, Spooks, Life on Mars, United and Law & Order;
- I'm not a fan of The Hungry Earth either, but it was one of three stories that he was nominated for the Writer's Guild of Britain award for its merits (which he won for 42), and;
- His writing does not reflect his competency as a showrunner from a production perspective.
Considering he's also been a producer on seven different television programmes -- quite a lot more than Nitpix has been, I'm sure -- I'm not convinced about his assessment of him being a "hack fraudster" either.

With The Power of Three I believe there were timing-based rewrites quite late in the day (it was explained in the Doctor Who Magazine Series 7A special, my copy of which I seem to have misplaced), so I don't think the villain literally disappearing can necessarily be pinned on Chibnall alone.
