Urgh, just fucking sack Chibnall already.
Didn't they drop the episode count to ten so he could reliably release a season a year? If he can't even manage that, what's he playing at? And why isn't the special airing on Christmas Day? The excuse they gave is BS, "The production team has run out of festive ideas." This is the first Christmas the current production team has, so what are they talking about?

I miss RTD - he gave us 14 episodes a year, along with Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood! Now we have a showrunner who can't be bothered to crank out 11 per year?

I might be in the minority but I think moving Doctor Who to NYD is a good idea - we know it can work, we had it for Tennant's regeneration. This most likely won't be just Chibnall deciding to move it, the BBC will also have a big hand in it.

The production team does still consist of a lot of previous staff members.

Well sure, but each showrunner is responsible for the stories, they don't come from the production team.

Tbf, this won't be a Chibnall thing.

Moffat had many breaks and, most of the time, it was out of his hands.

It seems more and more to be a budgetary issue.
