A lot of us dedicated Doctor Who fans have grown impatient with the way Steven Moffat writes our beloved television show - from the plot holes and lack of continuity to the blatant sexism. We believe that he has far overstayed his welcome and it is now time for a new head writer to breathe life back into what was once an uplifting, exciting show.

I started this out of a simple sense of frustration and I truly never imagined that so many people would feel the same way. It is honestly overwhelming to see this level of momentum building up behind our concerns. This has turned into something much larger than me and that is entirely because of your passion for the show.

I respect his work but Doctor Who is not the show for him. Ever since he took over, the show has gone downhill. I don't enjoy it anymore and don't find it scary or entertaining.

The time is long, LONG overdue for Moffat to give up the seat as Showrunner! He is killing the show, making it way to Americanized, as well as making the Doctor into a selfish ass! It's time to do away with his over-arching, never-truly-resolved story arcs, and bring in a fresh face as Showrunner, someone who obviously cares more about the show than he does!

Moffat needs to go back and watch the Classics--and what Davies did with it. He's stolen the show for his own fantasy writing. I don't know what Moffat is doing, I only know it's NOT Dr. Who.

he needs to leave his socialand political agenda at home and give integrity and honor back to a series with a 50 year tradition.

He just completely ruined Doctor Who, a story about unapologetic morality and the evolution of humanity's goodness. Moffat, just stop.

Moffat plots are losing interest he ruined everything Russel t Davis set up and has been lucky that the shows superb cast have kept interest for so long since Matt smiths run as the doctor

My DW DVD collection ends at 'The End of Time' when the show I loved was turned to trash by the ego of one (from what I have heard) quite unpleasant man. Anything has got to better than the US soap trash we've had since 2010, so I wish Chris Chibnall well :)
