Same here. Moffat indeed does have a bad track record and usually save for Day of the Doctor, when I get excited about the show again Moffat finds a way to ruin it. Yeah, I felt the same way, I only really warmed to Smith in series 7 part 2, maybe he should have stayed a while longer. But I hope a new doctor will prompt Moffat to write differently.

Me too, I have a nasty feeling he'll stay for series 9 (he'll outlast RTD ) But can I see him staying for series 10? That would be a total of 6 series he's screwed up.

As for writers, there's a lot of variation, Moffat's writing a handful as you'd expect. Gatis I think is doing an episode, Neil Gainman isn't doing one which is great for me as I haven't liked either of his episodes. The Doctors Wife was feeble and Nightmare in Silver was just bad.

Looking forward to Series 8 coming soon? From the trailers, it looks like they'll be going a darker route with this series, something I certainly welcome. My personal prediction is that the twelfth doctor will certainly (hopefully) be better than Smith unless Moffat becomes even worse (which is near impossible) but I think he'll be average on my list but that's good. Either that or he might be in my top 5, you never know how things plan out but I doubt it will happen, unless Moffat leaves after series 8, actually becomes a decent writer (unlikely) or he dies in a car crash and someone else takes over.

I also think he's going to stay on for a bastard ninth series now, he's hinted at such. I wouldn't be surprised if he sees Capaldi out then they do something in the vein of The End of Time and have a new production teem and cast.

Yeah, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

I wonder who will take over in series 9.
