Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker to leave Doctor Who in a trio of Specials

Having been in charge of the TARDIS since filming for the Thirteenth Doctor began in 2017, Showrunner Chris Chibnall and the Thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, have confirmed they will be moving on from the most famous police box on Earth - and the universe.

Yes, it was really bad luck for her. I won't say I'm a big fan, but mostly because of the really bad writing, not because of her acting.

Thank. God. 

Was not eager to have Chibnall in charge, to begin with, and he lived down to my worst expectations. I have no idea if Jodie would have made a good Doctor as Chibnall basically told her to ape Tennant and Smith. We never really saw her take on the role.

I hope it was a good lesson, and they'll just ask Moffat to return.
