Doctor Who fans have been reacting to the news that Steven Moffat will be sticking around for Series 10.

The development surfaced last night when it was revealed that the showrunner has signed up to helm next year’s series which will be his sixth in role as the franchise’s executive producer and head writer.

As expected, the announcement was met with a flurry of fevered responses as our Twitter followers actively took to their keyboards to air their views.

@DoctorWhotch got in touch to say that the show is in “safe hands” for the foreseeable and @Jenkins100Rose is also “glad he’s staying”. It’s “time for new blood”, though, according to @hgdhgdedj, and @RJCLeck worries “the show in the wrong direction”.

Not everyone is so adamant, however. @beatnikpoet21 has “mixed feelings” about the situation and @jamiealexkerr is also torn, saying: “Interesting stories/plots, but the plotholes are so major”. At the time of writing, our poll – which you can vote in here – is 71% AGAINST Steven’s continuation. So, it’s the inevitable mixed bag and you can let us know your own responses by commenting here/below, or send us a tweet @WhovianNet.
