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."

How is it season 14? Hasn't this show been running since the 60s?

It’s season 14 of the 2005 reboot. The pre-2005 stuff is “doctor who classic” now, and there’s I think 26 seasons?

And if that's not confusing enough, there's been talk that this upcoming season is considered a new show and will be "season 1".

I’m not a huge Doctor Who fan, but after the last few seasons of lore, a fresh slate doesn’t sound all bad to me.
