After rumours galore, the writer, who helmed the BBC sci-fi from 2010 to 2017, will officially make his return for Ncuti Gatwa's season.

Moffat said of his return: "Yes, OK, fair enough – apologies to everyone I've very slightly misled – I am in fact writing an episode of the series of Doctor Who. Exactly like I said I never would. What can I tell you?

"There was begging, there was pleading but finally Russell agreed to let me have another go – so long as I got out of his garden. Working with old friends and a brand new Doctor I couldn't be happier.

"Sorry I was a bit reticent on the subject for so long. It was all part of an elaborate plan that would have delighted millions but at the last minute I forgot what it was."

Ahem... No Strax?

Yes. We need more Strax. He's hilarious!

There are currently two series of audio Paternoster Gang boxsets out (one still ongoing) from Big Finish. Strax continues to deliver in those!

Oh man I'm gonna have to check those out. 😄

I for one welcome a return of our Paternoster Row overlords.

Yea for sure ... Moffat episodes within RTD seasons was basically peak Dr Who right (though 11th, ss 5+6 are my personal favs).

Oooo I hadn't thought about that. I bet he's got a few ideas simmering away.
