More than six years after his final episode of Doctor Who<\/a> aired, it appears that former showrunner Steven Moffat<\/a> may be returning to write a new episode of the sci-fi.<\/p>\n

While the news has not yet been confirmed, it was picked up on Tuesday 12th March that producer Alison Sterling\u2019s CV<\/a> had been updated to note she had worked on the show\u2019s 2024 Christmas special.<\/p>\n

Underneath this, it was noted that the director of the episode is Alex Pillai, while it was stated that the writer is one Steven Moffat. The notes regarding the writer and director of the episode have since been removed.<\/p>\n

When approached by RadioTimes.com<\/a> about this, the BBC declined to comment.<\/p>\n
