Chris Chibnall is set to leave\u00a0Doctor Who<\/a> following the broadcast of centenary special The Power of the Doctor<\/a> this weekend \u2013 but the outgoing showrunner is excited to see what lies ahead on the iconic sci-fi show.<\/p>\n Speaking ahead of his final episode, Chibnall explained that he\u2019s looking forward to being able to watch future instalments as a fan once again, and teased that the ending of the new special tees up everything very nicely indeed.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to not knowing anything, I\u2019m already enjoying it,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd in fact, I had to say to Russell [T Davies] on a couple of occasions, \u2018Please don\u2019t tell me!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cI\u2019m lucky enough to have seen the full ending of The Power of the Doctor and even the tiny bit of the end just made me thrilled about and excited and desperate to see more about what comes next. It\u2019s a delightful prospect!\u201d<\/p> That ending, of course, will see Jodie Whittaker\u2019s 13th Doctor regenerate ahead of the start of Russell T Davies\u2019 second stint as showrunner.<\/p>\n What happens beyond that is still something of a mystery, but we do know that the show will next be on air for its 60th anniversary celebration in 2023, with David Tennant back at the helm of the TARDIS, while Ncuti Gatwa has already been cast as the newest incarnation of the Time Lord.<\/p>\n
