Even though I haven't been watched Doctor Who lately, I'm relieved by this news of Moffat finally leaving.
On the other hand, I remember when people were not happy with RTD during the end of his run and were pleased that he was stepping down and Moffat was taking the helm. Moffat was mostly known for writing some of the most memorable episodes at the time, but he then proved to not be a good showrunner once he took control. Perhaps this might be the case with Chris Chibnall, but in reverse. Some have mentioned that he didn't write good episodes for DW (and Torchwood), but has proven himself capable of being a good showrunner and writer with Broadchurch. So we'll see where he lands.
