Now that Steven Moffat has moved on from ‘Doctor Who’, it’s easier to assess his tenure as a whole. In a recent interview with the ‘Doctor Who Fan Show‘, Moffat revealed that he very nearly left alongside Matt Smith in the wake of the fiftieth anniversary celebration in 2013. And frankly, whether or not you think Moffat should have left in 2013, the cracks were beginning to show. While I certainly wouldn’t describe the later Matt Smith seasons as bad, Capaldi’s arrival unquestionably gave the show (and Moffat) a much needed shot in the arm. The first season of ‘Doctor Who’ following Moffat’s departure will air later this year, though the BBC has yet to announce a premiere date.
